It was fine for a quick overnight stay. It was just what I expected for the price. Clean and mattress was comfortable. Pillows were very lumpy. Outside was well lit so I felt safe taking my dog out for late night/early morning potty breaks. Would have been nice to have grassy area for the dog, but it was ok. Dumped mattresses were unsightly.

Terrible motel 6 don’t waste money on this one
This property is an apartment complex not a hotel. Baby’s crying at 2am and waking around. People knotting on doors at 2am The walls are so thin you can hear the person in the room next to you talking. Don’t waste your money on this motel.
