Basic room. Fine for 1 night
stayed 1 night on my way from OH to CO. It was fine for my needs. No frills, not even shampoo. only soap. No breakfast but free coffee in the AM. Very conveniently located. Plenty of places for food nearby.
Bed was uncomfortable. Spiders in the bathroom. Towels dirty! Hallways had food sitting on the floor.

It was a clean bed and shower. There was a fridge but no microwave. Close to the highway so it's a little noisy. The heater worked well but the windows are leaky so it turns on a lot. It was okay for an economical stop.
I wish there was a hair dryer.
The desk staff was personable and friendly.

The motel was ok overall. Front desk people were fine. Room was small, but that's to be expexted. My main complaint is the smell. Not sure what it was exactly, but the whole place smelled stale and musty. They do have smoking rooms, so that could have something to do with it. Probably won't stay here again.
Excellent property. Best Motel Six I’ve stayed at. Clean. Quiet. Good TV. Right near a Perkins for breakfast!
Not far off the motorway, easy to navigate.
