Dont stay here
The first thing we noticed upon entering the room was that the air conditioning was half falling off the wall and it wouldn't turn on. We were too tired to call and do anything about it. The next thing is there were clanking pipes all night long and noise from all other rooms . The door was not sealed properly and so light from the outside came in you couldn't shut the front window shutters all the way so light came in from outside also sound. None of us slept it was a horrible stay.

The Staff was Wonderful, Friendly, and Very Helpful. The room was very clean, comfortable, and very affordable. Not fancy in any way, but perfect for me. Many motels in this area right off the freeway get a bad wrap. But my experience with this one was great. Made the craziness of the Christmas Holiday more relaxing. Thank You.

Just OK.
The staff at the front desk upon check in was very friendly. The room was very small but so was the cost. Breakfast was not fun. A tiny room/space to make your breakfast and many people waiting in line for coffee, waffle machine, etc. The room keys worked well which is better than the previous hotel we stayed at. Location was convenient. Shower was a bit crazy, water got super hot, then after 5 minutes got super cold, then hot again. There was only one bath towel in the room, had to ask for another.

Great experience!!!
Stayed 4 days/3 nights, it was smooth and easy. For a 2 star motel it was awesome - much nicer than most! Staff were great and very responsive, property was clean, and rooms were nicely painted (still the usual old ac/heat, tubs, etc)... It's surrounded by a huge array of shopping and eating places including a scrumptious taco truck parked right next door. And to top it all off, there weren't the typical druggies hanging around that are always overabundant at Motel 6! Overall great experience, thank you!
