10/10 Excellent
"The Motel 6 is convenient to everything we needed and wanted. The staff was very accomodating and ready to serve our needs. The age of the facility is showing but it was in clean and maintained condition. I remember it about 10 years ago when it was refurbished and things were fresh and new. So I have a point in time to compare it to and I know that to upgrade costs money but in this case it might be worth it to charge a bit more to get the accomodations up to a little higher standard."
