Good for one night

The place looked like it was falling apart a bit. There was multiple occasions where people where banging on our door, just for them to leave as soon as I open the door. When we were leaving we saw a big roach on the wall

If you're looking for a good place to hide out from the mob or buy drugs, this is probably a great place. For everyone else, stay away!

The room was clean. I did have to call the front desk after midnight as there were a bunch of people outside my room (at least it sounded like it) just having a good ole time. I needed my rest as I was driving across the country and needed my sleep. Thankfully the people did leave shortly after my call.

A bit scary. It is likely section 8 housing. Staff though very nice. And friendly. But can tell many live there. Very messy yard. Trash etc.

Didn't feel particularly safe. Took a while to get to the hotel and find the office. You can see it, just hard to get to it. Noise from the interstate was plenty loud. I booked it by accident, won't make that mistake again.

Car Not Burglarized: Faith in Humanity Restored!

If you like camping at a homeless shelter, you’ll love this Motel6. The swarms of police cars in the parking lot made me feel safer than if they weren’t there at all. The semi trucks rumbling the overpass on I-35 all night provided a gritty nostalgia for old apocalyptic films of my youth. One of the drug dealers nearby commented to me at check out, “This place is a real sh*thole.” This may have been a missed opportunity that I do not buy or do drugs. Enjoy your stay in paradise!
