I have stayed here three times now, and I like this place a lot in general. The rooms are very spartan, but clean and friendly and the beds are comfortable enough for restful sleep. The location is also very good for access to west and SW houston, and the staff seems very professional and helpful for a rock-bottom budget inn.

My only complaints are:

1) the shower water smelled a little funky on one visit, and made my hair look weird. Don't know if that was due to hard water or the lack of good water pressure, but wasn't fun.

2) I have stayed there alone usually, and two out of the three times I've been there I have gotten strange calls at around 6am. One was from some guy who was trying to flirt with me and another time someone kept ringing me and hanging up, to the point that I had to have the desk turn off the phone. Now there is never anyone who knows I am staying at the Motel 6 when I am in Houston, so I have been thinking that there may be people on the staff or otherwise who keep an eye out for single female guests and feel the need to bother them. Why they would think I would want to party with them at 6am on a weekday I have no idea, this is just an FYI in terms of feeling safe. Nothing else has ever happened there to freak me out, but the second time I got the early am calls I have to say it made me wonder if that sort of thing happens there often.

Otherwise I recommend this hotel for the super cheap traveller who still wants to have clean and comfortable accommodations.
