David, Shena, Alex, and the rest of the staff are outstanding. Their professionalism, friendliness, and customer service made my stay a positive experience. My only concern is the condition of the property itself. Motel 6 corporate should invest in updating and maintaining the hotel, as the carpets and walls are noticeably worn. The staff works hard to provide a great guest experience, and the property’s condition does not reflect the quality of service they deliver. With some renovations and upkeep, this location could be exceptional.

When I book a room at a motel 6 I know what I'm getting for the price. However of all the ones I've stayed in this is by far the worst motel 6 and the most expensive. Along with the high price there is a $20 parking fee, which I wouldn't even mind if the hotel was decent. However there was stains on the floor hallways and in the room. Iron Man smoking room actually smelled like smoke.

Everything was great Just know that you're going to pay $20 a night for parking my partner also brought her a ride so that's an extra 40 bucks just so you know and it's not guaranteed if you take off that your spot is there other than that everything was fine
