It's close to many dining places & gas stations and the Guadalupe river park. I could have used a micro fridge in the room. I had to collect ice from the ice makers located in the main office to filll my YETI to keep my groceries on ice.

I arrived and the grass was a foot tall. It wasn't cut until the next day. I was excited that my room faced the pool, but it was chained up. I had to get something from my car after dark, and there were several suspicious people on the sidewalk outside of rooms and in the parking lot. On the way back to my room, a man clearly drunk as he was leaning on the AC, asked me if I was working as he proceeded to take several steps toward me. I screamed NOPE as I scurried upstairs to my room. As I walked upstairs, I noticed 2 syringe caps on the stairs. The staff was amazing though ☺️

The outside appearance looked dilapidated, upon the entrance the appearance of the office was clean lanolin with dirty windows and walls in need of repair. I had an issue with my card and then tried to pay with my child's prepaid card but was not willing to accept her paper copy of her ID until she received her actual card so I canceled the reservation. Motel 6 tried to charge my card later that day for $97.00. I did not stay there nor was I rude and I reserved through a 3rd party. So hlad I handle business when I take trips through prepaid cards and I keep them locked.

Not the best Motel 6
The front desk was accommodating and friendly. Upon entering the room it looked crisp and clean. The floor was tiled and not carpet and that was pleasing to me. After a little while in the room, we started seeing small roaches and a few unrecognizable bugs. When time for bed, the fitted sheet would not stay on and we eventually were sleeping on the cheap plastic mattress cover.
