It was fine for a quick overnight stay. It was just what I expected for the price. Clean and mattress was comfortable. Pillows were very lumpy. Outside was well lit so I felt safe taking my dog out for late night/early morning potty breaks. Would have been nice to have grassy area for the dog, but it was ok. Dumped mattresses were unsightly.

My door to the room locked me out. They offer to room move me and wait for matinees which don’t arrive until the following day. I called the service line. They wouldn’t help Finally the front desk agent offered bolt cutters. I said great. Then he tells me I have to pay for the lock. That’s not right. D- pro-pert Rooms smells of bug spray. I’ll never stay at any motel 6 again. My standards were not high.
