Everyone was really sweet to me. When my bathroom was clogged they offered to change rooms. Very great staff and area. However, other tenants were so loud. But motel 6 was great

Good deal
Nice hotel for the money. It was my second time staying here and I will likely do so again. Ground floor rooms seem to have been recently updated. Fridge worked and room seemed clean. Toilet did run a lot (as did the one in my previous stay) but it wasnt too bad.

Bad, avoid
I booked this hotel just for a night to rest on our long drive back to Texas, Hotwl reviews showed a rating of "8". Man at the front desk was nice, got to the room and wow the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming ( this was a " non-smoking" room), the air conditioner did not work, need less to say we only stayed there 2 hours ( 2 hours too long) before deciding to leave and finish our drive home very tired due to not being able to sleep.
