The staff wre able to accomodate us. The game did not start til 6:30 PM but we wanted to pur our bags in our room so we would not have to check in late that evening. Staff was very accomodating.

Hadn’t been here in a couple of years ( Covid stopped travel pretty much for everyone)
They have renovated , mattresses are wrapped in mattress protectors. Added tables to rooms and replaced some refrigerators.
Also 100% smoke free, although you can smoke at the table out front.
They do charge a 50.00 deposit, I suppose to prevent room damage for people who do that kind of thing, and will charge $150.00 if you smoke in your room.
Free WiFi and cable. No coffee or breakfast though.
But great room for the price , I paid under 70.00 with tax and AARP discount.

Room was good sized, beds were comfortable.
Surprised that a $100 deposit charged. I've never come across that before.
Do not get a room near the freeway. Those rooms are very noisy.
Laminate floors were buckled, tile was cracked in room.
Several other occupants complained about their rooms/management.
Coffee was served in the morning and refrigerator worked well.
We paid much more as a walk in than is shown here.
Mixed review with reservations.

Booked a reservation for two nights at $89.95 per night. Because of an ice/snow storm had to cancel the first night. Called and cancelled that morning so they could possibly sell the room to someone else. The man said it would be about $25 more since I cancelled my first night. When I got there, they jacked the price up to $200 per night for my one night stay because state wrestling tournament was in town. Refused to honor the original price from my reservation. The guy even admitted he told me it would only be about $25 more but refused to make any adjustments. Totally wrong and very unethical way to run a business.

I recently had to leave my home due to a fire, and I am so grateful for the wonderful stay I have had. The rooms are incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean, and the staff have been incredibly helpful, kind and accommodating, especially the delightful daytime front desk gentleman. The location is great too. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for the wonderful care I have received, making a very challenging time much more comfortable and enjoyable.absoloutly

The hotel staff is not friendly and the hotel smells awful. We were in town for a baseball tournament and this was one of the "Play and Stay" hotels. Friday night the TV/Cable in all of the rooms did not work and when other families checked in they were given one bed instead of two queens even though their reservations were for two beds. Avoid at all costs.

I can't really complain, because I knew exactly what I was getting. It's a cheap motel. The room is clean, the bed was clean, and it was next to the location we were going. It is small and worn down. The bed is 1 mattress. The futon is terrible so I hope noone has to sleep on it. Everywhere you sit is uncomfortable. The pillows were half the size of regular pillows and they give you 3. I asked for 2 extra and when we went to get them at the front desk was told we were lucky they had 2 because they don't usually have access until the day time. So I recommend having your own pillows / blankets if possible.
It was also very cold to me and we could not find any way to turn the heat on in the room... but in the morning it was very hot.
All in all, the motel worked exactly for what we needed. A place to rest for a night. But I would never stay at this location again so I can't give it more than 3 stars.

The motel has free parking. The property is quite nice looking for a Motel 6. My check in went well. The rooms have inside entries and there is an indoor swimming pool. My room had everything I needed. I got a good night's sleep and received my requested wake up call. My check out was without any problems.

I got a nice size room with a king bed. The price was reasonable. For Motel 6 I am impressed. Very nice and there are plenty of places to eat in the area. I think this is a great place and easy on/off I-70.
