Bed and room is small. But TV is working this time
The bed is smaller than queen. The room is small too. But still efficient with bathroom that lower water pressure. The Tv I surprise still working consider last time tv channel didn’t work at all. So I appreciated for it.

Service
Mr. Z was the counter check in person. He was very friendly and remembered me from several past visits. He went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied with my room and conditions. He sven delivered ice to my room when the ice maker in the lobby was down. Motel 6 needs mire employees like Mr Z!

Room was very small. Heater worked efficiently. Good thing because there was not a blanket on the bed, just a sheet and very light bedspread. The shower was very tiny and not comfortable. All that to say it was adequate for one night.

Never again
Not so good; left early. Room had a toilet seat ready to fall off, towels for shower are really hand towels, no room service, impossible to change on line or over the phone being told "we are completely booked and unable to change room type when there is actually 4 cars in the parking lot the whole stay. Room 133 two doors down is used as a housekeepers dog kennel, trash cans were overflowing the entire stay. Late night arrival was put right over my room and they dragged furniture or dead bodies around until 2am only to start again at 6am. Courtyard is dead weeds and dirt. No ice machine or ice bucket if there were one. At least the AC unit worked!
