Photos of hotel online did not reflect condition currently. Pool water was brown and unusable. Room conditions were not good and hotel environment overall was not great. To be fair, for $80 a night, I should have known what to expect, but there's a minimum level I'd need to stay there and this hotel did not meet it. Two stars is accurate.

The grounds need to be cleaned up better and the pool has green alge not suitable for swimming. The rooms are nice and clean and the TV programs are great. I guess Motel 6 doesn't provide Microwave ovens or refrigerators. They do have ice machines to keep your drinks cold all night.

Parking was good and seemed safe. Dog area was extra good and spacious. There was an unfortunate but mild smoke smell left in my non-smoking the room. I'd stay again due to location, cost and convenience.

The facility is very shabby. There no access to the office, business is conducted thru a 2way drawer, like an old fashioned bank. The pillows were flat, there’s a desk type piece of furniture but no chairs or bench. The only seating is on the bed. There was part of a plastic wrapper from a soap cake on the bathroom floor, which led me to think hadn’t been swept. Mold in the bathtub grout. Only 1 each bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth. All together an unpleasant experience

I expected much better. I have stayed at Motel 6 in Petaluma, CA and in Albuquerque as well as some others. Usually it’s simple, but clean. This place had hairs in the bed. Hopefully from the housekeeper? The sheets were old and stained, I’m telling myself they were clean, simply old and stained. There was also something on the floor that might have been a bug, could have been dirt. Or even fabric…didn’t want to get too close a look at it cause I was so tired. Would not recommend this property.

I should have brought ear plugs. Being next to the highway wasn't too bad but the other guests seemed to have no respect and were noisy as they walked by the rooms. Walls seemed very thin. Shower head was so low I had to bend down to get my armpits wet, (I'm 6'1") Really glad there was no one above me. I requested a mini fridge but it didn't have a freezer so I couldn't recharge my cold packs. Staff was helpful and had 2 ice machines which was good. Overall it was just ok, you get what you pay for!

The stay was OK. This is basically an older Motel Six (i.e. no frills: e.g. bed, desk and bathroom). It's not a vacation resort. [There is a pool which we didn't use -- it was March and raining.] The room was clean and the staff was helpful. It has easy freeway access and has a number of eating options locally and within a mile. This location is pet friendly and was near where we needed to be. I would stay there again. Bring your own shampoo. :)

It was in a nice area. The sink and vanity looked new. And a/c surprisingly worked well. BUT, the place was quite run down. Mold in the bathroom, dirty linens, fixtures falling off the wall and ceiling, holes and cracks in the tub, ratty furniture, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the cleaning ladies and front office staff were very unfriendly. I will NOT be back.

My wife and I were unable to obtain a second set of washcloths. She joined me for the second day of my stay. I had been issued 1 washcloth, towel and hand towel. My wife went to the front desk to request a second set. She was told we could not get one until the next day, and I needed to return my towel before we could get another. We checked out at 6:30 am. So getting a second washcloth was impractical. Odd

I stayed here 2 years ago and had great experience- this time it was awful! Just as it been before, check in was simple and fast- the lobby was clean and inviting and the staff were friendly and helpful. I booked and checked in for a deluxe room with 2 queen beds. Deluxe only means the room is equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. - the beds were a small full size, definitely not queen. - the room stunk, was dirty, had no towels at all and half the lightbulbs were burnt out. - the mini fridge and microwave were not plugged in and there were no available electric sockets other than in the bathroom. - the only window looked out to the pool which was adorned with floating trash and severely overgrown grass. I went back to the lobby and asked for a refund- the no longer friendly or helpful staff informed me they don’t offer refunds. I asked to be moved to a clean room with 2 queen beds, I was informed that housekeeping had already cleaned my room and all of the beds at that location are the same size (they insisted they were queens) and refused to let me change rooms. I called Hotels.com support and was given a full refund!

The office is always closed, and no staff are around to help. When I called, no one picked up. The room was very dirty. The floor was not clean and it looked like there was dog poop behind it. It was a non-smoking room, but it had a cigarette burn on the bed sheet. The shower head was broken, and there was no shampoo, conditioner, or lotion. There was only one towel in the room. I would not stay here ever again nor recommend anyone to stay here.
