"What do you expect? It’s a Motel 6. But for what it is, the inside is very clean! Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean and immaculate. For what I expected, it definitely delivers. I was only a little apprehensive of the homeless around the area, but it seems like that happens around here… so I won’t dock much for that. I wouldn’t wanna park a car outside though… just a bit unnerving."
