Clean place. A bit noisy at times but not terrible. The sheets didn't have a natural fiber in them and were on the coarse side. The bed had a bit of a central bowl, but I've had worse.

Absolute terrible stay. We would have been better off sleeping in our vehicle. Room was filthy, bed was like sleeping on an air mattress that needed so, everytime my husband moved we both rolled to the middle. There were obvious drug deals going on in the parking lot and lots of unsavory guests lurking around. I would definitely recommend staying elsewhere. We ended up checking out a day early because of the awful conditions. Also motel located on busy road with lots of traffic. Pay the extra money and stay elsewhere

Motel 6 is really good basic value. Clean room, plenty of hot water, good water pressure. Pool appears ni e and clean but did not use. Easy to walk to Dune Coffee Roasters, Albertson 's grocery, Sprouts, Yougertland, pizza, Chinese, etc. Something for everyone. Easy hwy 101 access. As single woman, felt perfectly safe.
