The hotel its self was prety good. People were nice. Parking was great. They alow pets and thats great for those in need. The room however was not clean. My daughter and I got down on our hands and knees to clean the floor. The dresser was wiped off and the beds were made, bathroom looked wiped over but wasnt clean! We cleaned it. Besides that issue there was no remote for the TV I requested one twice but did not receive one. Its a good thing I had my tablet for my 3 year old disabled grandson to watch disney. Lastly the phone in the room did not work. This is a safty hazard if somthing was wrong and the occupant didnt have a cell phone.

The hotel is undergoing renovations. So while there were some supplies still left in the hallway, and some dirt on the ground, everything within the rooms were new and clean

They’re in the process of remodeling, so the lobby smells strongly of paint right now. The room itself was perfectly clean, though, the AC worked great, and staff was friendly.

When we arrived to this "No Smoking" motel, it was curious that we were smelling cigarette smoke. When we entered our "Non Smoking" room, it was curious that we still smelled cigarette smoke. We then found a full cigarette and some ashes on our windowsill, hidden only by a closed curtain. Which leads to my next complaint about the lack of care, or perhaps the complete lack of cleaning. There were specks of dirt on the floor, a spider had made its home on the ceiling, the toilet seat looked unclean, and the paint job was abysmal with many paint blotches along the floor. Some other things include hair in the sink that was NOT ours, and a childs dinosaur toy in the bathroom. Overall, greatly dissappointed. I would not recommended staying here if you care about having a clean space.

Dirty everything in the room. The floor I was on smelled like food cooking and garbage. No shampoo, conditioner, or toothbrush. I only had 2 bars of small soap to clean myself and wash my hair. Don't stay here unless you hate yourself!

The room was still dirty, used a tips on the floor, pop bottles under the mattress. Dry blood on the sheets. The controller to the tv was broken. I’ve called and asked for new sheets, new blankets but because housekeeping wasn’t there, they could not help me. The lady at the front desk had an attitude when I asked for new sheets because of the blood as if it was our fault that it was there.. we checked everything before we even brought our things into the room.

Room was clean except the walls needed wiped down. This was expensive for no microwave or fridge in the room. Staff were pleasant. Definitely minimalist - no toiletries except soap, no hairdryer, no breakfast, no ironing board, no iron, just 1 thin blanket, very cheap mattress but it was OK. Blanket and sheet were put on the be inside out - so are they washing the blanket after every guest? Heat worked well and the microwave in the common area was helpful. Coffee in the morning was welcome but ground coffee was old. Motel 6 chain has been using a stinky cleaner but luckily it was just in the hallway when I was there.

Was in a connecting room and could hear whiney crying kids through the door of the next room pretty well, they eventually went to sleep long before we did though. Had to crank down thermostat to low 60s just to get something in the low 70s. Room was acceptablely clean but about what youd expect for a motel 6. Water pressure and shower were top notch. Had soap but no shampoo. Slow draining bathroom sink, gross. Fella at the service desk was friendly and quick. Cost was one of the most i've ever spent at a Motel 6 but we were in the chicagoland area and was one of the cheapest in its area compareably.

The room was nice, but the mattress could have been more firm, since it felt like I was sinking in. On top of that, for a room that is non smoking, it sure did smell like a big huff of cigarettes.

The costumer service especially at check out were great. The room was nice and seemed very clean. The only real negative is that the hallways smelt in my opinion very gross. And the secured side door that you needed a key card to access the building did not lock so anyone could access the building that didn’t belong and the staff wouldn’t know at least right away

It was lacking any amenities…very basic rooms, no hair dryer, no alarm clock, no refrigerator. The floors in the room were very dirty & our feet were dirty after walking on them. The towels had hair stuck on them. I didnt feel safe being a women with daughters staying there. The area was very nice but the motel didn’t feel safe. They had human trafficking signs on the wall & the checkin counter closed and then the person was behind a bulletproof window at night. This will be my 1 and only time staying at a Motel 6
