No. This property was in such a poor location with a fence around it and a gate. It was off the highway on a cul-de-sac unlike any Motel 6 I've seen. I was so uncomfortable with the location I didn't check in.

I got a 2 queen bedroom and the lamps by the bed didn’t work. The bathroom door had no proper door handles. So the bathroom didn’t lock and only had a slide door.
