“Nice, if you don't have asthma”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

people found this review helpful

It is a nice little place right next to the interstate, reasonably priced, but the whole place - lobby, hallway, and most definitely the rooms - all smelled heavily of smoke. It was like I was walking into a bar or something. The disgusting smell permeated everything, I even noticed it in the parking lot. Was there a smoker's convention going on there at the same time? I don't know, but it was pretty disgusting. There were cigarette burns in the carpet, in the comforter, even in the sandpaper ... sorry, the "towels".

Room Tip: If you're a smoker, you'll love this place. If not, it's not such a great place.

“Very pleasantly surprised...will stay again.”

Arrived at this motel on the last night of a 2-week road trip. Tired and hoping for a decent, low-cost overnight stay after lots of pricey, specialty lodging. We were so pleased with every aspect of this particular Motel6. The room was very clean, fresh and comfortable. Spacious bathroom with tub-shower combo, fast and reliable wireless, tv with lots of channels. Safe, hotel-style inner corridor access to rooms. Although we did not swim, the pool looked clean and refreshing. The front desk staff was professional and friendly, and the fellow guests appeared to be mostly business travelers. Overall, a clean, comfortable, stress-free and low cost stay.

“Great budget motel!!”

This is a great place to stay when on a long trip. Was a bit worried when I found out it was only 39.99 for the night but was very surprised at how nice and clean the room was. You cannot beat the value. The bed was more comfortable than hotels that cost 4 times as much that I have been in. If you need to stay in Athens, this is the place to stay.

“Very clean and nice hotel at a very affordable price”

We were totally surprised at this hotel as the price was lowest around,so we thought we'd take a chance since it was a one night stay. The rooms were newly renovated and everything was spotless. The beds weren't of the fancy style but slept very well. Attendant was very nice. Will most definitely stay here again.
