Well I lucked out and got a deal in a room through Expedia for just a little over $40 a night. The room had a neat little table with a booth type seat shaped in a half "U" This made it absolutely perfect to do work on my laptop. Everything worked, AC was cold. The room I was in was clean, stocked with soap and towels l, everything I would expect from a Motel 6. The lobby was open 24 hours, there were plenty of vending machines in there with drinks and snacks. There was a Whataburger right up the street, I guess they were open 24 hours, I don't there at midnight, picked up some breakfast tacos. It's barely off the highway, which is nice since there's no road noise but it's not even a full block off the highway so you're right there if you want to go to San Antonio or Austin. I got there at about 10:00 p.m., the late night worker was extremely kind and helpful. I stayed tonight and upon check out which is at 11:00 a.m., I noticed I was going to be a little bit late but asked the staff working today, the day I left if it would be okay if I was just a little bit late I was loading up my stuff but didn't want to get charged for not being out by 11:00 and they said don't worry about it everything's fine. Great staff. I really liked my room set up with the corner booth half "U" seat with the table, it was really cool. There was a mirror over the table, with a light on a separate switch (two others on either side of the bed) as well.

There were so many bugs in the room that it was hard to sleep. The cleaning staff was polite. But i dislike roaches. Between the roaches and crickets it was bad

It's close to many dining places & gas stations and the Guadalupe river park. I could have used a micro fridge in the room. I had to collect ice from the ice makers located in the main office to filll my YETI to keep my groceries on ice.

I arrived and the grass was a foot tall. It wasn't cut until the next day. I was excited that my room faced the pool, but it was chained up. I had to get something from my car after dark, and there were several suspicious people on the sidewalk outside of rooms and in the parking lot. On the way back to my room, a man clearly drunk as he was leaning on the AC, asked me if I was working as he proceeded to take several steps toward me. I screamed NOPE as I scurried upstairs to my room. As I walked upstairs, I noticed 2 syringe caps on the stairs. The staff was amazing though ☺️

The outside appearance looked dilapidated, upon the entrance the appearance of the office was clean lanolin with dirty windows and walls in need of repair. I had an issue with my card and then tried to pay with my child's prepaid card but was not willing to accept her paper copy of her ID until she received her actual card so I canceled the reservation. Motel 6 tried to charge my card later that day for $97.00. I did not stay there nor was I rude and I reserved through a 3rd party. So hlad I handle business when I take trips through prepaid cards and I keep them locked.
