My room was clean and was all I needed. The stairways and hallways were in need of small repairs and a good cleaning. The outside areas could also use some maintenance and cleaning. Overall for the money, it was okay.

I stayed there for a few months and I must say how quiet the place is. The rooms were nice and clean. There is always someone at the front desk at all hours to help you when you need help. Vending machines actually have things you can eat and not just snacks!! Employees were very kind and helpful. No regrets in booking at Studio 6!!

The room itself reasonable clean without any bugs as far as I could tell. The property is run down - halls look and smell like something out of a horror movie. It got me off the road when I was weary, but wouldn’t recommend.
