“no luxury, but the price is right”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

stayed here a while on business. It is adequate, was clean enough, and it was a bargain. The room was typical Motel 6, no frills. You have to pay for internet which would be ok--but half the time it isnt working. With so many travellers today needing wifi tokeep in touch, this is a serious defect.
The staff at the front desk were mostly pleasant, helpful, and kind. My experiences with them were very postive. However, avoid at all costs the desk clerk named Ruby. Ruby loves having a little power, and uses it. Very negative, will automatically say no to anything. She loves to make things hard for others, which is not a good trait in a desk clerk. I learned very quickly to avoid her, and deal with the more congenial staff members. One day I was in line behind an 80 year old man with a wife in a wheel chair, and listened to Ruby degrade and humiliate him for asking what seemed to be perfectly ordinary questions. Another time in front of numerous customers, she announced to one and all that the other workers there did not do their job, she was the only worker in the place, and that the management did not know how to properly manage the hotel. Very poor example of a Motel 6 employee, and one that does not belong there.

“NOT what I'd expect from a Motel 6!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

people found this review helpful

I expect Motel 6 to be basic, even worn, but clean. This place was dirty -- really dirty! Stains on the bedspread, mold in the toilet, dried mud/sludge on the bathroom floor, broken lock -- gross! I was too tired last night to deal with it. I left in the morning without showering.

“You get what you pay for.”

Motel 6 is a cheap motel. Therefore, don't expect amenities like free wifi, toiletries abound, and big towels. They have to make money somehow. The motel did exactly what I needed it to do: give rest to a weary traveler, on the cheap. I'm not there to be pampered, I'm there to sleep. Mission accomplished.

“Just what I expect from a Motel 6”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011

person found this review helpful

We, three of us, had wanted to stay somewhere a little nicer, but we have our limits. The other motels were another $20. Used to be others in the area for more or less the same price but we didn't find them this time.
Limited parking (for trucks) but it was a slow night. Check in went quickly, no issues.
Rooms already had the heat on, which seems to be rare these days. 65 degrees. Room was clean, bed wasn't bad, everything worked. Hot water in the AM. Shower only, no tub, not an issue. Had to pay the $3 for WiFi but I've finally gotten used to that.
Checked in late so it was only fast food open within walking distance.

“Keep driving, trust me”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Front desk reception was good and I was quickly checked in. Internet was $2.99 extra. Bolt lock on door broken. Carpet was filthy and ruined my white socks. The AC worked well. No water pressure from sink faucet and no hot water. Bed sheets were stained (I'll spare the details, but it was disgusting and I can't figure out how they weren't thrown away). Lipstick on pillowcase. Bath towels were ratty and rough and varying shades of white. It gets better: I was thinking I should check the mattress for bed bugs and surprised that I didn't find any. Not long after I sat in a desk chair and starting watching TV did I notice the fleas. It was late and I found that if I kept my feet elevated off the floor the fleas didn't bother me. No hot water in the morning either. I suspect this sorry Motel 6 will be put out its misery soon. The pool looked nice and there's laundry and vending machines available. I'm no expert, but my guess is that any other option would be better.
