It's really noisy. It's so close to i4 that I heard motorcycles and semi trucks all night. There isn't a coffee pot so be aware of that. The room was nice and clean, the water was hot, and the air worked. Thy front desk was efficient and cordial. It was great for the price

Stayed at Motel 6 and honestly it was a W for the price. Check-in was quick, the staff were cool, and the room was clean and comfortable — exactly what I needed. It’s not luxury, but for a cheap, easy stay, I’d 100% go back.

I've stayed at this location numerous times. The rooms are clean, they've obviously been recently renovated, and the staff is friendly and helpful. At this price point, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to stay.

This was a clean, comfortable room. If it hadn’t been for noisy patrons and traffic, it would have been perfect! And that’s kind of out of their control.
