Motel 6 Livingston, TX

Motel 6 Livingston, TX

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very clean and smelled wonderful. The lady that cleaned my room, Sandra, was so sweet. She did an excellent job making me feel welcome. I felt very safe here. The staff, over all were very nice and helpful. Everything worked in my room just like it was supposed to. The only thing I found that was less than was the ice bucket. It had a lot of grease on it for some reason. Not sure what that was about. But if that’s the worst thing then it was perfect! Thank you ladies at the Motel 6 in Livingston for taking great care of your customers."
