Better than most Motel 6. Rooms are very small but clean. Over all it's just an average hotel. Nothing special just a room with a bed.

The girl whom checked me in was quit effected and able to accomdate my special needs immediately and it even lowered my price by a few dollars. The microwave in the vending area really needs to be updated it took 5 mins in to heat up a cup of water.

I liked the location and the freeway access. There was only 1 iron for the whole hotel and the toilet didn't work in the room.

Getting out alive was appreciated. What's not to like about 1 towel for two people, 1/3 of a roll of toilet paper, and a paper thin 'blanket'? The transient parade was a nice touch!

Close to freeway and local businesses. Not enough towels as they only gave 1 towel per person. The towels are too little for a bigger person to even wrap around their waist (200 lbs). Pillow are lumpy! Many stains on bed cover. Floor was dirty with a clump of hair on the floor.

Newer Motel 6. Classic. Beds were comfy. From my 8 yr old. Pool was great. Maybe, it's been a while or I never noticed, but I guess they don't provide little shampoos...

The location right off the freeway, easy access. Our room was to have been a smoke free room but when we walked in it wreaked of cigarette smoke. There is apparently only one ice machine which is located all the way down by the main office.

I like that it was close to some of the casinos and it was also close to most of the places i wanted to go visit. There were many things I did not like about this hotel for one didn't get my reservation correctly I had booked a non-smoking room and ended up with a smoking room because they has sold out of the non-smoking rooms. The room was really small.
