Pass this one on by....

This hotel was not the quality that Motel 6 usually gives. There was a bad smell in the room, and the phone didn't work. The only amenity given was coffee in the morning and at 7:30 am, it was lukewarm and tasted like it was still in the dispenser from the day before. At over $220 a night, this was a disgrace!

Clean but cold water only

I would have given them 5 stars across the board BUT of the 3 days we were there, we only took one hot shower. One day was cold water only and the other was barely lukewarm. When I called to ask about the water or concessions for the inconvenience they couldn't care less.

It was surprisingly decent and comfy. The dining table space is a bit odd. It's nice having amenities (minus your own coffee pot). Very roomy bathtub and room/bathroom were clean. Occasional slamming doors in the car lot were irritating, but manageable. It's a beautiful area, and the back view of the mountains is pretty. I didn't like that I had to show proof that my quoted and various emailed itinerary confirmations reflected $6 less than I was being charged. However, the very nice male (friendly salt & pepper bearded Latino guy) rectified it, once I showd him the text.He's a pleasant and respectful attendant, and we liked him. Unfortunately, the two Latina ladies (Sandy & a younger person) were cold and unfriendly (no personality, no personable skills). Particularly, Sandy, was rude & dismissive on the phone (during reservation), and she was rude to my friend, when he asked for a blanket). Not a professional presentation, minus the male attendant I mentioned. That was a put-off part of our brief stay' nonetheless, it was a pleasant stay overall. We'd stay again, for sure! They merely need to be much more aware of their phone andpublic personality/service warmth (don't come across irked, careless nor bothered!).
