We arrived from out of town around 11pm. The woman at the check in counter was nice, polite, and directed us to our room. The room was clean, but very small for the 2 beds in it. One of the beds was pushed all the way to the side wall in order to fit. Basically, the person sleeping by the wall had to climb over the other person in order to get out of bed. Also, the fitted sheet kept popping off the mattress which was annoying. I ended sleeping on the mattress cover. There are not any microwaves or fridges, but I understand that is to keep roaches and other bugs away. We did not see any bugs, which was AWESOME! Other than that, the room was decent. Had plenty of towels. Now the outside area was a bit worn and showed its age, but we only stayed there 1 night, even though we booked 2. Decided last minute to stay in Austin the next night instead.

mediocre motel

there needs to be significant renovations to the outside and some in the room itself. the beds were paper thin and very uncomfortable. we did not get clean towels for our 2nd night. overall, it's a motel 6 so we didn't expect much.

It's your typical cheap hotel alongside the highway, perfect if you want to really save money but other than that it's old, killed two roaches, took pictures, needs to be remodeled, tough crowd hanging around, obviously various deals going down, shady people hanging around and a few vagrants or homeless people, had a tough time sleeping worrying. The intake lady at the counter treated us like we were your normal riff raff, I might be I guess but I'm a retired LEO. The checkout girl was much nicer, smiled, respected us.
