Man this place is run down. The lady at the front desk was nice enough. The toilet leaks when you flush, the trim in the bathroom is falling apart and there looks to be mold underneath. Definitely some mold on the sink plug. The room is tiny and so dated. felt like I had walked into an old boat…. Mattress quality poor now my back is sore, haha. No way this place is worth $200 a night…. 😆

My room was so clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. Love having a mini fridge, and microwave in the room. The lady who checked me in was so kind., and helped me with my TV remote when i couldn't figure it out. Coffee was provided in the office the next morning, and it was quite delicious.. (I always bring my own creamer ) Great value for the $$.

Pretty nice for a Motel 6. Some damage in the bathroom but everything was clean and functional. Not having any drinking water except for buying bottled water was a bit of a bummer.
