“No hot water until checkout day, but at least I got one solid, well-earned shower out of the visit. The room was impressively clean above knee level, which really highlights where the team focuses their efforts. There was also an interesting collection of “mystery items” under the bed, but I am happy to report no clowns or anything too alarming. The bed itself was incredibly interactive. I really got to know the springs on a personal level. Only part of the room had a noticeable cat pee aroma, which was easy enough to work around once identified. The front desk staff were genuinely fantastic. Some of the friendliest people you could ask for and easily the highlight of the stay. At the end of the day, Motel 6 promises to leave the light on for you. While it was a bit dim, they technically delivered. 5 stars.”

“Clean, quiet, friendly staff, and comfortable. I forgot a suitcase in my room after checking out. They put it aside for me until I could come return 2 days later. **Great Experience **”

“This place is great for the money. Pets are welcome and it has a few amenities included like an iron and board, vending machine, and a pool. They have coffee from 6-10 every morning in the lobby. Motel 6 had a nice little dog park on the premises. The room didn't have an actual closet, but there were hangers and a shelf instead. There was a T.V included in the room, and AC as well. I'd say the room was as expected for the price I paid compared to other hotels. Good stay.”

“Louise, Pablo, Roberto, Connor, Stephanie, Alyssa and Mandy were absolutely exceptional. I was staying there as I am in the middle of moving and they were extremely accommodating, attentive to my needs and showed me immense grace as I had to make impromptu adjustments to my reservation. It is also a blessing that pets stay free! I am really grateful to have encountered these specific employees and I hope they get recognized for the assets they are. Godbless!”
