6/10 Good

Everything overall was good the only negative for me was the bed could not get comfortable on it.
frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Inexpensive, comfortable, quiet room. Not sure if it's always quiet, but it was when I was there.
Timothy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Asked for nonsmoking room. Smelled like smoke!! Hair in the shower. Bed was awful.

The rooms were inexpensive
Michele, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good for one night

The place looked like it was falling apart a bit. There was multiple occasions where people where banging on our door, just for them to leave as soon as I open the door. When we were leaving we saw a big roach on the wall
Aubry, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

DISGUSTING DONT STAY HERE!!!!!

The place was absolutely disgusting with stains all over the bed, disgusting toilet and shower, many cigarette/burn holes in all the blankets, many sketchy people around which made us uncomfortable. We ended up not even staying the night and left halfway through our one night stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
Emma, 1-night trip

Section 8

A bit scary. It is likely section 8 housing. Staff though very nice. And friendly. But can tell many live there. Very messy yard. Trash etc.

Car Not Burglarized: Faith in Humanity Restored!

If you like camping at a homeless shelter, you’ll love this Motel6. The swarms of police cars in the parking lot made me feel safer than if they weren’t there at all. The semi trucks rumbling the overpass on I-35 all night provided a gritty nostalgia for old apocalyptic films of my youth. One of the drug dealers nearby commented to me at check out, “This place is a real sh*thole.” This may have been a missed opportunity that I do not buy or do drugs. Enjoy your stay in paradise!
Bret, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not so good.

For starters our door knob wouldnt even stay on! Crackheads everywhere, the hotel doesnt even offer or HAVE little shampoos and conditioners on the property, my kids got to witness their first dead person (overdose in the hotel), nobody cleaned our room, or even got our trash from in front of our door. Not to mention for all the above stuff mentioned the price was outrageous! Over $130 a night! Only good thing was they are pet friendly.
Ashley, 4-night trip

Interior of room is upgraded and clean, but the exterior is outdated and shabby.

Don't stay. Be advised.

Saw bugs crawling in room, multiple times and different kinds throughout the evening and night. Talked to the desk person and was offered to extend my stay but decided I needed to just leave. Also the toilet and sink were broke and leaking.
