Great Service - Convenient Location
Front desk people were really helpful Excellent service.
Try not to get a room near the stairs. You get a lot of noise from people talking and checking in to their rooms

Very nice Motel 6. Seems well taken care of, has great water pressure and a great location. They said it was cash only upon arrival which was frustrating and cost an ATM fee. Seemed a little odd to me, but I had no choice as I was there for a funeral and had booked in advance, so costs had increased significantly.

The room was extremely small, the a/c created extreme humidity we saw a drug deal right outside our door and 1 day 6 police cars along with paramedics showed up supposedly because someone tried to knife a family. Not great

Check in was slow, the keys to the room would not open the room door, I paid for 2 nights , it was inconvenient to have the room keys to be re-keyed if I paid for 2-night.
