Staying here was okay, of course if you're looking for a 5 star clean hotel this not the place. One of the restrooms had black mold. The toilet seat was dirty in the last room i stayed and dirt on the floor i had to sweep myself. And i honestly was hesitant on showering cause the shower head is disgusting and i didnt bring my cleaning supplies to clean and disinfect the shower head. The staff there is pretty understanding though.

Motel 6 budget

Well it was quiet but the room was pretty much empty had a TV in a bed that's it. No microwaves no coffee maker only one outlet to plug my phone into no clock just two bars of soap and a couple of cups and a few towels. I paid $100 a night for that two nights and I had to climb outside stairs to get to my room upstairs the outside bright LED light was so bright that it bled through the Windows and I didn't even need to turn on the lights in the room it was plenty and the beds are shot need to be replaced

I liked where the motel is located off the freeway. I didn't like how only have the lights in the room worked. Not enough towels. On checkout day, policy says check out is 11am. We were getting knocks at the front door before 10am

Gets the job done, barely.

Older property with no frills. Have to register cars, guests, pets, and probably everything else you want to enter the room . No frills, toilet runs, showers are noisy. Sounds from other rooms pass straight through the walls/floors.
