Older Motel Six showing signs of neglect. Plumbing installation poorly done, caulk and paint sloppy, no tissues in room and none at front desk. Courtyard full of weeds. Beds ok and room had big fridge and microwave. Newer TVs. Truck stop next door, so be advised.

It was a basic room. A/C had some problems and a small drip from the faucet. But we were there to sleep and that is what we did.
