Motel 6... it is NOT the Ritz... but this particular one isn't terrible either. The rates are LOW and the rooms are CLEAN.

We stayed overnight with our three preschool boys. When we first checked in, the boys and my husband ran ahead of me while I checked out the lobby area. When I went to find them, I realized I didn't know the room number. I thought to myself, "Surely that won't matter. They are so noisy, I'll hear them right away". WRONG. I couldn't hear them at all, and believe me I have no sissy-boys in my family! They are LOUD (in a joyful way... don't get me wrong). I could not hear any noises from the hallway. This is a big plus for families travelling with kiddos.

The lobby was clean and the desk staff was very friendly. They also spoke clearly and were easy to understand. We had some trouble booking the hotel through the direct phone line because no one who answered spoke English but when we arrived, the staff was all very fluent and helpful.

The room was fine. The towels were not huge but adequate. The floors were clean and the linens were fresh. For a hotel near an airport, this place is silent.

My husband and children thought this motel was perfect because it was within walking distance of Shoneys! I definitely think this will be our midway stop on our route to the beach. Cheap, clean, and next to Shoneys.... 'nuff said.
