    The location Well I guess the front desk lady quit in the middle of her shift. People everywhere locked out of there rooms lots of drama. They said we hadn't paid for our room tried to kick us out threatened to call the cops on us. It was a whole lot of unnecessary stress. The only reason I keep coming back to this location is cause of the location and they dont charge a deposit and they r pet friendly and don't give me a hard time about my pets.

    Um, thee absolute worst place you can stay. Most importantly it’s not safe random people knocking on the door all hrs of the day and NIGHT. The rooms are VERY Dirty there was ass crack print on the toilet seat dirty moldy shower curtain sticky floors with God knows what. And last but not least even if it’s a non smoking room it smells rancid. It’s pet friendly the staff is nice Enjoy your stay

    I was surprised how safe I felt while being located close to a major highway. If you’re low maintenance and looking for a low-key base, choose Motel 6! The staff was friendly and made accommodations for my needs. The rooms were pristine. If I wasn’t moving to Austin, I would choose staying here again :) THANK YOU!

    Paint peeling on the ceiling, no blanket on bed. Only 1 towel, 1 washcloth and 1 hand towel for 2 people. When asked for more only told no they gave none but would get back to us next day. No towels next day either. Needless to say we stayed 3 nights no new towels no maid service of any kind. 2 full garbage cans in room. Outside garbage cans all full and running over! Stairs sticky and filthy. As well as office check in. Floor dirty needed mopping! No recommendations from us. Except don't go. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

    i booked rm 264, it was a single bedroom with one queen size bed and i paid extra for a fridge and microwave on the second floor, it was a nice size room and came with a tv, desk, chair and phone, the only thing is that one of the bed lights didn't work, and the shower was very little, it was a stand up shower, and did not have a bathtub, they serve coffee in the mornings which i didn't find out until the last day i checked out, the TV remote was very slow in finding the channels

    What a DUMP. How can a health and safety hazard of a Motel 6 be allowed to operate. They have more cameras than rooms and ended up knowing why. I was made to sign a waiver to that I can’t have any guests. Guess why, junkies and prostitute in the area. Walking outside the motel it smelled like urine and dog feces all over. Room was a total dump. TV was not working both beds had a lot of all colors of hairs and one bed still had someone’s head print and wrinkles! Restroom had wall damage all over and also smelled. Cockroaches started to come out too. Shady people coming in to look for certain guests and cars also just parked and never got out. Went to the nearby store and neighborhood is also a dump. Plenty of junkies and homeless. Too many issues to list here. Left to another hotel.

    I love the home feel. It’s a family owned business and we loved the quiet, clean, well- maintained surroundings. We will definitely stay again! The price is very reasonable too! Convenient to food, groceries, gas, shopping. Bathroom is spacious, no carpet a big plus!!! Very very clean, small fridge, and microwave. Had a nice taco truck just feet away, very delicious authentic food. Everything worked well, no issues at all! Very nice and courteous staff. Love the snacks! Outside very well maintained, nice pool, parking right in front of my room. Safety and security here was awesome, no issues at all.

    room was clean, ac was decent, but the people around the area were loud, someone that kept going to the main office walked by us and said hi my other 2 kids didnt say anything and i said hello and he made a comment about someone being all dressed up and not able to say hello. was unacceptable. no one is entitled to someone else in a matter of anything. there was a strong weed smell coming in the room all night, people being loud all night, loud vehicles coming in and out. the tv remote batteries were dead, weird holes in the room. people fighting when i checked into the room. i will not be staying in this hotel anymore.

    Well it's definitely a basic type motel, Hot water, working toilet, mini fridge w/freezer, queen size bed, Cold A/C most of the time, 26" lcd TV. If you don't plan on swimming in the public pool (I wouldn't) and sketchy parking( I made sure I could keep an eye on my Truck from my second story window). I did sleep with dead bolt latch on and moved the luggage caddy in front of the door for added measure. But when it's Under $60 a night really how much more can you really ask for on a budget. The room was clean and so was the microwave/fridge.

    We had a very disppointing experience at this hotel. From the moment we checked in, it was clear that the property is poorly maintained and in serious need of updates. The room was rundown, with unattractive furnishings and it did not feel clean or inviting at all. In addition, the hotel did not feel safe, which mad out stay even more uncomfortable. Because of this, we decided not to stay-we checked in and left shortly after seeing the room. Unfortunately, this was not what we expected, and it did not meet even basic standards for comfort. I would not recommend staying here.

    I still had 7 more days that they need to refund back to me that I paid for. But did not get to stay until my reservation was not over yet and I was removed from on 04/20/2026 and should have stay until 04/28/2026 I paid until that day. But I was not allowed to stay until the end of my reservation was up so legally the owe me money back for theft of service. At the price of $41.00 a day times 7 days the owe me $ 287.00 and I believe they should pay me all moneys back for the treatment I went through my services animal and I had to sit in the rain for more than 8 hours until I could get someone to pick us up on that day I am a disabled senior citizen I have a seizure disorder and a heart condition and could have died on that day. I have every right to sue your company and their for the way my service animal and I were treated so poorly i will never recommend your organization or any company that you sponcer ever again.

    While the internet speed and television service were satisfactory, and the mattress was acceptable, the overall condition of the room was disappointing. The accommodations felt outdated and lacked basic amenities, such as a coffee maker or face napkins. No lotions or shampoo either. I also found the cleanliness of the room to be below standard, specifically noting that both the towels and the toilet were not properly cleaned prior to my arrival. Towels were dirty with yellow stains on it. Room was cleaned but everything so used and old that it looked cheap and poor. Bathroom door has severe dents and repainted 10 times. Front door wouldn't shut completely and pops from edge that insects or bugs can easily crawl in. Furthermore, the environment did not feel suitable for a family stay. The significant noise from the highway made it difficult to sleep, the pillows were uncomfortable, and I had concerns regarding the security of my vehicle in the parking area. People were fighting/ yelling in the parking lot at 3 am. AC was very noisy and would wake me up every time it runs on. Due to these factors, I do not intend to stay at this location again. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the experience for future guests.

    If you are a drug dealer this is an excellent place to stay. Motel and parking lot are full of active drug addicts and drug dealers. Watched 2 drug deals happen in broad daylight. I made management aware and they already knew this activity was going on and told me there was nothing they could do. I think they receive a kick back from the drug dealers for turning a blind eye. STAY AWAY, DO NOT STAY HERE!

    Absolutely horrific! Homeless people gather in front of the motel plus a lot of homeless wondering and sitting in motel areas. Guests yelling, fighting, one guest seemed under influence and was kicking doors, slamming doors, yelling at other guests. We could not handle it, we grabbed our things and we decided to leave!
