Actually this place was quite refreshing after a really not so great stay at another motel 6. This place was clean, quiet and really nice. I really enjoyed my stay here, only one night but the receptionist was quite friendly. I'd come back here, no problem. Great place to stay

My room was so clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. Love having a mini fridge, and microwave in the room. The lady who checked me in was so kind., and helped me with my TV remote when i couldn't figure it out. Coffee was provided in the office the next morning, and it was quite delicious.. (I always bring my own creamer ) Great value for the $$.
