There was no hot water, the elevator did not work, and the rooms are very dark.
This served our needs as a one-night stop over but I can't recommend it if you require hot water or towels (we had neither). The freeway was about 100 ft outside our door so it is quite loud if you are on that side of the building.
The rooms have exterior entry doorways so you do hear the outside traffic. The heater was a little rattley but not to the point that it annoyed us and it worked very well.
The room was clean and comfortable. No roaches or bedbugs. Plenty of hot water for the shower.
Room also came with a microwave and mini fridge which was nice.
It isnt fancy at all but it is affordable and the conditions were nuce for the price.
There was no shampoo in room but when i went to front they did have some for me.
Wifi was available for my tablet, only lagged a little one time during a movie we were watching.
I always thought that motel 6 was a dirty creepy place to stay. But this motel 6 has all updated rooms and very clean and beautiful decor. Yes I would definitely stay here again.
Stained and dirty towels, floors were not cleaned, still had someone’s make up on the bathroom sink and and bathtub. And had a bunch of pink stains everywhere.
Property was clean. Staff friendly and efficient. Eco-friendly in that only soap offered so no waste of other hygiene amenities. Close to interstate but did not notice noise. Appreciated the ice machine. One drawback was curtain had some attachment issues and to cover the window completely had to tie to door. Missed having coffee available in the am if only in office but realize some special features cannot be offered at a low price point.
Safe comfortable place to stay. Nothing fancy, it was a quick stop to sleep. No coffee or refrigerator. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Looked shoddy from the outside. Like a motel with long term residents. However, things changed at check in. The people were wonderful and kind. The room was really nice with a newly remodeled bathroom. Midwest motel 6s stay strong. Worth an overnight on the road.
