The room was clean n tidy. The bathroom was a little on the small side especially being as I'm in a wheelchair. The TV was newer and worked wonderfully. Staff was very helpful with getting clean towels in the morning n toliet paper. The coffee was fresh and quite a good blend. I will remember to go to this motel again without hesitation

Right next to a Dennys! Right next to MAX! Maybe get out of the street! Of course clean neat space (thanks housekeeping!) If I might,the man in the front office was A1A helpful & the vending machine was unpretentious...doesn't get much better than this (for me) not in 2025!

It's not often that you get to make a trip down to USA. And to make it the best trip, I looked at a lot of stay options. This stay came in cheap and I was sceptical at first, as I know most of you will be, but the service is just too good at the price point. I don't want to oversell this too much but if you are on a tight budget, just book this place and leave everything upto the staff. The rooms The service Thank you the amazing staff for making it a comfortable vacation for me and my wife.

Room was clean. Bed was not exactly awesome. Microwave and fridge in room (I used the fridge it worked well, did not use the microwave). Staff was nice. Motel was convenient to convention center and quite a few fast food places. TV listing in room was not completely accurate. Overall I would stay again if I was going to be in the area.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Motel 6 , and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury and warmth that truly sets this hotel apart. Rooms: A Perfect Blend of Elegance and Comfort The room I stayed in was nothing short of spectacular. It was spacious, impeccably clean, and decorated with a perfect blend of modern sophistication and classic elegance. The bed was incredibly comfortable, adorned with high-quality linens and plush pillows that ensured a restful night's sleep. The room also featured state-of-the-art amenities, including a large flat-screen TV, a well-stocked minibar, and an espresso machine that made mornings so much better. One of the highlights was the bathroom. It was luxurious, equipped with a deep soaking tub, a rainfall shower, and premium toiletries that added a touch of opulence to my daily routine. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the soft, fluffy towels to the ambient lighting that created a serene atmosphere. Service: Exceptional and Attentive The service at the Motel 6 was nothing short of exceptional. From the friendly and efficient check-in process to the attentive housekeeping staff, every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The concierge was particularly impressive, providing excellent recommendations for dining and entertainment in the area and securing reservations at some of the finest restaurants. Room service was prompt and the food was delicious, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. The staff at the on-site restaurant were equally impressive, offering personalized service that made dining there a delight. Overall Experience: Unparalleled Luxury Every aspect of my stay at the Motel 6 was outstanding. The combination of luxurious rooms, exceptional service, and attention to detail made it an experience to remember. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I highly recommend this hotel. It truly offers a five-star experience that is second to none. I look forward to returning and experiencing this level of luxury once again.

The staff was friendly, the price was decent, the bed and towels were clean. The room left a little to be desired, and the walls were a bit dirty. However considering the price and location... I would stay here again If your name is Karen or you're super picky, stay across the street and pay 300 per night lol.

Very clean modern rooms. We were impressed. It was the Hilton compared to the motel 6 on Central. We called in advance and booked our room directly with the front desk. He was very nice on the phone. Very friendly to us. Even friendly to the guy in front of us who was experiencing credit card issues. Great customer service! Its with in walking distance of Denny's, Rite Aide, Atm. Beautiful view of the city. Felt pretty safe walking in the neighborhood. Great experience! I will and would stay at this motel 6 again.
