Good price and the parking lot was well lit, which made me feel safe. The place had all the basic amenities I needed. However, the TV had a line on the screen, and the shower head was leaking and didn’t provide enough water pressure.

The ac was great, they were doing work on the pool so lots of debris from that around. It is close to a couple fast food restaurants...It was priced right. My husband went to pick up one of our bags to load, and a bottle of wine broke, I made sure to tell the front desk who handed me a broom and a dustpan to clean up the glass shards..no problem. Easy off and on interstate.

The room was clean and the mattress was good. Ridiculous pricing at $200 for a Motel 6 - they really got me for a one night last minute stay when everyone else was full. For that price they don't even provide shampoo. Was lucky to get soap.
