Very Clean Room. Front desk very professional. I recommend to anyone. I enjoy this location
I recently stayed at Motel 6 and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a short stay. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. I also appreciated the pet-friendly policy—perfect for travelers with animals. It’s a no-frills place, but it delivers exactly what it promises: affordable, reliable lodging. I’d definitely stay here again!
The best motel 6 in the area I felt safe here , the office staff were very friendly !! They were in the process of putting up a fence when I was here for a couple of days so I know for a fact they care about their visitors and residents!’
The owners have done many upgrades. Staff are very professional. . perfect place for me to stop in between my road travels for my job. I'm very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area that are in terrible condition & no customer service whatsoever. They're also very conscious of safety for their customers.
I had a pleasant experience during my stay. The location was very convenient—close to shops and restaurants, which made getting around easy. The price was affordable and offered great value. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely consider staying here again
I had the pleasure of having Trey as the associate that handled my check-in. Trey was very professional and walked me through utilizing the card machine for my check-in. Also he was very patient and professional by ensuring that my check- in went without a hitch. Also when I couldn't get my key card to work by my not knowing how to properly use it. Trey immediately rekeyed my card and show me how to use it. Thanks Trey for assisting me and being patient during my senior moment. I would like to give you TEN STARS ********** Thanks from Dianne Lester Miller
I’m still gonna give them a 5 star rating but I am very confused and probably traumatized now after getting kicked out and banned from this location.all for standing up for a woman who was being beaten up by her boyfriend.i was staying for weeks and could always here them fighting and their dog screeching.eventually it got so bad that i had to say something to the man.and bc i was only at the hotel bc i mysef was fleeing from a 8yr dv relationship.it was triggering and i tried minding my business for awhile until i couldn’t.they kicked me out for sticking up for someone who needed to be helped.and then told me i couldn’t come back.i didnt even argue with the unsafe person i asked them to chill out bc his neighbors cant keep listening to abuse and ignore it. I would have thought they’d be understanding but they told us all to leave? The clerks at that hotel must haven’t heard them fighting before bc even now o can’t get the sound of that woman being assaulted out my head.they were great and the cleaning ladies were amazing ppl to get to know but the man who kicked me out needs to show some compassion.im praying for everyone honestly.
