Impressed with Motel 6. Simple, clean, comfy, & pretty good service. Although, at 10:30 I asked for a late check out for 11:30, which was approved. However, then I had to get out of shower because desk lady forgot she approved & was banging on my door at 11:05.

I've stayed here a few times and have never had an issue. The staff is cool, the property is clean, and the location is great. The only little complaint would be that the parking can be a little annoying... This location sells out often so finding a spot in the evening can be a little more difficult. Other than that it's great.. I'll definitely be staying here again.
