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.

My door to the room locked me out. They offer to room move me and wait for matinees which don’t arrive until the following day. I called the service line. They wouldn’t help Finally the front desk agent offered bolt cutters. I said great. Then he tells me I have to pay for the lock. That’s not right. D- pro-pert Rooms smells of bug spray. I’ll never stay at any motel 6 again. My standards were not high.

The place was clean and neat for the money you pay, but the tenants and the area was not the best. Also it is by the freeway.

Great stay
The staff was great. Very friendly. Nice area. Probably one of the best motel 6 s I've stayed at lately. The only issue I had was the heat didn't work too well but otherwise I'd definitely stay here again
