I had stayed in this Motel 6 two or three times before and liked it quite a bit so I was extremely disappointed this time. The first room I was given had an unresponsive air conditioning unit, a bathtub that didn't drain well, and a bed without a blanket. At 3 a.m. I went down to the front desk to... More

I had the disabled room, which meant an enormous bathroom. Although in terms of attractivenenss the bathroom left a bit to be desired, it was very clean.On the second night I stayed I had a problem with the tv - the fix-it person was there literally as soon as I had put the phone down to report the problem, and...

In addition to being in a great location at a great price, this is not your run-of-the-mill Motel 6. It started at the lobby – relatively sleek and with a view of an outdoor plaza with nice tropical plants. The hallways were newly carpeted. The real shocker was the rooms though – very modern décor and simple with a European... More

I spent one night at this hotel, and while the location is handy, the rooms are both dated, and not well cleaned. To go into detail, the piece of gum left on a shelf and the rather mildew encrusted shower head left me somewhat concerned about the rest if the room. The good news, the girl at the front desk...

We returned for another visit in February. (last visited in 2008) They have remodeled and we really liked the new decor. It is clean and simple and very European. I understand why some call it spartan and not homey, but we actually thought it was great. The staff was wonderful and we had a great stay. We could walk to... More

Please note - the overall rating I have given for the property reflects the stupidity of the Motel 6 website - not the actual quality of the hotel, room or staff. It's cheap, cheerful and good value for money if there's one or two of you - just don't bring a kid! The dumb Motel 6 website allows you to... More

Here's what you can expect for your $55.99 ($63.02 with tax): I had called to reserve a room and the nice employee had said she would give me one of the better ones on the top floor. Thus, when I opened the door, I was surprised to find a small and spartan room that reminded me of my 20s, when... More

We stayed here in April 2011 for two nights. We had one of our dogs with us so we needed a place that allowed pets. The hotel was in good repair and the parking while not secure was well lit. The room was really really small, tiny in fact.There was barely enough space to open a suitcase but it was... More

I needed a hotel to stay in a stich while traveling for business. I wasnt getting along with the person who was hosting me, and just wanted to get away. I was so desperate, I was willing to stay at Motel 6. However, when I arrived I was pleasantly surprised! Not only was the room clean, it was modern looking!... More
