BEST shower pressure and temperature I’ve ever had at a budget motel. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Towels weren’t great. Occupants next to me would smoke directly outside their door so I could smell it but that’s not the company’s fault necessarily. Ample parking. And under $100 on a weekend. Great value overall, just keep in mind it is still a Motel 6.
