Well, I stayed in 3 cheap motels on my trip from Southern California to Alabama. This Motel 6 was by far the best, the safest, the newest, etc.
Check in was easy. Super friendly and fast. No pet charge. Parked just outside my room but walked around to the main back entrance. Not a big deal. I felt completely safe when I went outside with my dogs, even later for a pre bed pee. I will stay in hotels close to the interstate on my next trip, away from bigger cities to avoid undesirable people and homeless people. None of that near this hotel. Would I stay here again? Absolutely!
