Disliked: Cleanliness
Beds are big and fairly comfortable. Inside room wasn’t clean. Towels probably need more soap or bleach, as they’re visibly dirty. Otherwise we liked the place and motel 6 is always a good deal. Would stay here again

The property is right next to the highway that the noise is too heavy. In addition to that the train goes in the back of the property that also makes noise. The wall is too thin to hear all the noise from the next room. Then noise of the air conditioner is too noisy to sleep.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was completely uncomfortable staying another second there because of another guest staying there was watching us the entire time. He watch me and my daughters off load our vehicle and every time we came out of our room to get something from the car he’d stare at us. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body. Even went as far as following us to the front desk. So I drove off and called the front. They were unable to refund me even though I explained what was going on. The front desk person just offered to walk me back to my room. Hopefully they will refund me however she told me they can’t then again offered to walk me to my room. That wouldn’t help me and my daughters if we were abducted. This is very sad.
