This is a typical Motel 6.... if all you are looking for is a bed, then you are good. Do not reserve a king bed as they no longer have them after their remodel. Rooms are decent inside due to remodel but hallways and exterior are pretty dirty and dingy.

Spend $30 more and stay somewhere else
The room was clean but the property was more or less a flop house. There were homeless people living in the parking lot. The parking lot was being used as a repair garage there were vehicles in various stages of disassemble making parking difficult. There were broken beer bottles and syringes scattered throughout the property.

It was beautiful but some of pillows were on the desk and not the bed and there was a used washcloth on the floor and someone left a used charger block sitting on the desk. I know they r doing some reconstruction on the building inside.
