Close to airport and clean

We needed a location close to the airport for an early departure, we were very pleased with the cleanliness of the property and would have stayed longer to explore the area.

While this is a no frills hotel, it was super clean and my roommate and I really enjoyed the shower’s water pressure and the fact that there was plenty of hot water for a long relaxing shower. Bring your own shampoo and lotion as none were provided. If you are particular about soap, you might want to bring that to as they only give you two tiny bars. One for sink and other for shower. Free coffee in front desk area.

Our stay was OK. About what you expect from a Motel 6. No frills, thin towels, etc. The air conditioner was very noisy and the room seemed humid. The location of the Motel is excellent and very walkable to food, drink, and shopping.
