Just OK.
The staff at the front desk upon check in was very friendly. The room was very small but so was the cost. Breakfast was not fun. A tiny room/space to make your breakfast and many people waiting in line for coffee, waffle machine, etc. The room keys worked well which is better than the previous hotel we stayed at. Location was convenient. Shower was a bit crazy, water got super hot, then after 5 minutes got super cold, then hot again. There was only one bath towel in the room, had to ask for another.

Great experience!!!
Stayed 4 days/3 nights, it was smooth and easy. For a 2 star motel it was awesome - much nicer than most! Staff were great and very responsive, property was clean, and rooms were nicely painted (still the usual old ac/heat, tubs, etc)... It's surrounded by a huge array of shopping and eating places including a scrumptious taco truck parked right next door. And to top it all off, there weren't the typical druggies hanging around that are always overabundant at Motel 6! Overall great experience, thank you!

While some parts of the room were clean, the bath tub was far from it. Also, there were no toiletries available and the air conditioning unit wasn’t functioning properly and was very noisy. Other than the clean beds, there were not many more positive aspects of our stay.
