7.2/10 Good! (12 reviews)
Thankfully, the bedsheets were clean except for the stray hair. The motel is occupied by permanent residence who are coming and going at all hours with sketchy looking people loitering about. Walls are paper sin and you can hear conversations from every direction. The towels were dirty. Being the cheapest option around you certainly get what you pay for but honestly anything more than $50 is too much for this motel. For a few dollars more I’m sure you’re overnight experience will be a lot better at Motel 6 and I recommend doing so. Not a place to bring your family.

Outstanding property for dog-travellers. Would do the Bungalows again, how many hotels have this much outdoor walking area?

The hotel its self was excellent but the are was not good
Hotel had about 100 cameras up and lots of buildings in the area were behind cages , apartment opposite our bedroom window was burnt out and gutted , restaurant in the hotel carpark was all boarded up
Through the day was sort of ok but at night it was quite scarey definitely do not go out on foot at night as plenty of unsavory carracters all over
But the hotel itself once you where i side was ok
