Great for a layover.
Stayed here before. Will do so again. Not a 5 star hotel folks. It's a very good Motel 6 and very professional people working the desk.

Motel is newly renovated but has some issues.
Also, per staff, the motel has a lot of construction workers staying there (presumably long term).

Needs a lot of love
This hotel really needs some love. When I arrived, there were people smoking right outside the check in. I would suggest a smoking section that is its own spot. The check-in was easy, I got my key and went to my room, which has been updated with nice flooring and newer bathroom. But, you can hear everything your neighbor is doing. There was a cockroach in my tub that then disappeared. The bath mat towel was filthy. The other towels were threadbare and small. The sheets on the bed were old and the comforter was pretty gross and so thin. Luckily, I had a blanket with me I could add to the bed. In the morning, the only coffee is in the check-in area, but the room was always locked and the two times I went for a coffee (at 9am) I had to ring the bell and wait for someone to open the door. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel.

Clean rooms, safe environment, fairly quiet area - though the walls are not very sound proof. Better than I expected for Motel 6 and wonderful for the price. The managers are super lovely.

Nice and quiet.
Easy check in. Our original room had a fan issue in the bathroom and the cleaning lady put us in the room right next door that was quieter which was very nice of her to do. The lot was under construction so there wasnt too many parking spots open. The hotel was quiet and had a straight shot to Death Valley.
