A very good stay. Hotel was recently updated and comfortable. Bot ice machines were malfunctioning during our stay, but staff made ice available on request to help alleviate the inconvenience. Great hotel for the price and we will be returning here next year!

Older Motel Six showing signs of neglect. Plumbing installation poorly done, caulk and paint sloppy, no tissues in room and none at front desk. Courtyard full of weeds. Beds ok and room had big fridge and microwave. Newer TVs. Truck stop next door, so be advised.
