Pros. The price wasn’t too bad so that’s a plus

Cons. Their tv channels appeared grainy and the tv wouldn’t stay on longer than 20 min.

4.2Mediocre
Anonymous, Apr 2017

Cons. We had to wait for 20 minutes for them to clean our room and when we got up there the room was dirty, bathroom was dirty, and it looked like someone smeared poop or some dark food on the wall by our bed. The mattresses were not comfortable at all.

6.5Okay

Pros. Close to Texas State. Friendly staff

Cons. the room is clean but the bathroom tub needs to be replaced. the beds are poor and the sheets need to also be replaced.

William, Apr 2016

Pros. The location was great

Cons. The grounds were very dirty. My room was dirty and it seemed as it was "cleaned" in a hurry. The floor was sticky and the sink was never cleaned. The "guests" were roaming about the grounds being quite loud at all hours and some seemed to be permanent residents as several were cooking in their rooms (yes, their doors were wide open so I could see in). One of the"roamers" was surely a drug addict as some strange exchange took place in plain sight. And another asked me for some spare change. Never again will I use this motel. I expected 1-1/2 star quality but this one should be minus 4 stars.

7.4Good
speer.april, Jul 2015

Pros. The value of the place was very good. I was traveling as a single mom with a small child and this place was well within my budget. The facility was clean upon arrival and seemed like a safe place to stay. The room itself seemed like it was newly renovated and was in excellent condition. The pool was also in good condition and the water seemed to be clean. The staff of the place was also very friendly.

Cons. Upon arrival I felt that it was an ok place to stay but was definitely not upper class. There wasn't a good place to park my car since my room was on the back side of the building and the parking lot was quite a distance from my room. There are also no elevators and the cleaning staff seemed to always be blocking the walkways since the walkways are on the smaller side to begin with. Although my room was clean, there were tiny bits of black fuzz all over my sheets on the bed and the air conditioner unit needed a bit of cleaning as well because there was dust all inside of the front vent.

Pros. Friendly check-in, fast and courteous. The room design was nice, so much so most of my friends were wondering what Motel 6 I was at. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean.

Cons. There was need of cosmetic repair in the room. I imagine these rooms get trashed by college kids, or something. There was a hole busted through the shelving for the t.v. which was unattractive, and some of the paneling on the shelf by the table was peeling off.
