This was perhaps the best motel 6 I’ve ever been to; room was in perfect condition! Quiet air conditioning, USB ports, fringe and microwave, and large countertop was just some of the nicities. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Loved the property overall. It would be nice to have a table and 2 chairs in the room (we love to play cards). Staff was great and location was fantastic.

Checking in with a person threw a computer was a little different but still easy and great service. The room was clean but has some cosmetic issues, chipped floor and paint. Its wasn't a bother though, you get what you pay for getting the cheapest motel around. My only complaint is the pool was closed down/ out of order and i purposely made sure to get a motel with a pool, so that was a let down for my son.

Less than 5 minutes from CPH
Exactly what I paid for, a nice bed to sleep on and a hot shower at the end of the day. I came to help my daughter move out of her dorm and it was a perfect stay. Thanks M6!

Jul 14, 2025
We didn’t even end up staying at the property because it was so dirty and gross. Spent the extra money to stay at a different hotel for peace of mind. A lot of long term rentals at this property. There was dirt, chip crumbs, and dog kibble on our floor. The room had a terrible smell to it. Staff was willing to sweep the room but overall it just didn’t feel safe and that wouldn’t have helped the smell.

The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.

No employees it the front desk. Keos with call center personnel who doesn't speak clear English is impersonal, inconvenient. This will be our last stay at this location.
