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.

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.

Great overall, property was just renovated. Only downside was there wasn’t a good place to walk the dog during our stay.

Safe comfortable place to stay. Nothing fancy, it was a quick stop to sleep. No coffee or refrigerator. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Me and my family have stayed here a few times and each time has been such a great experience. The friendlessness of the married couple that manage this hotel make you feel so warm and welcomed from the point of check-in until the moment you checkout. They've done an amazing job of renovating this hotel. I look forward to our next stay.

Just stopped for a quick rest! Overall no complaints but the smell seemed like it was a smoking room when we choose a non smoking room

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.

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.
