The area around the motel is pretty nice and quiet. However, this Motel 6 is a neighborhood unto itself and it is a slum. As a smoker, I was glad they had smoking rooms. I spend my first night in a non-smoking room, then I was put into a smoking room. Well the non-smoking room had an ash tray in it, while the smoking room did. There was yelling in the parking lot between 2 or 3 individuals at 3 am, which left my dog acting "spooked" the next morning. The price is OK, the neighborhood is OK, but the motel, itself, has some undesirable street people living there short and long term. I don't know where they came from, but this Motel 6 is a "slum within a nice neighborhood..."
