We ended up leaving after being at this hotel for an hour to find a different hotel.

1.0

− We showed up during a nasty storm. This did not help what was happening. The tv took half hour to get working enough to watch anything even then I’ve seen tube tv’s with clearer pictures. Part of the hotel seems to have been turned in to long term stays. Glad people have a roof over their head but in the hour we were there watched multiple residents yelling and going at each other outside some of the rooms. It was like an 10 mins away from episode of Springer. Just didn’t seem like a safe place to be for 2 people far from home. Not a very quiet place either.

Scary place!

We ended up not staying at this Motel 6. Nothing to like.

− Dirty outside, people roaming around made us feel unsafe both for us and the car

A bit dismal...not recommended

3.0

The staff was accommodating when we needed to change rooms. The location was fine. The beds were comfortable. Honestly, the bare minimums were there.

− One of our rooms smelled like urine. The state of the property is not good; there's a lot of maintenance that needs to be done. I would not recommend this place.
