10/10 Excellent

This Motel 6 is a step up from what you usually get at a Motel 6. The rooms were nicely appointed and basic. My only issue was with the lighting in the rooms. The lights were fitted with very bright cold white bulbs which were too bright. This is a problem at other locations and is admittedly a pet peeve.
