Business Trip

The room was very clean, but small. Only about 2 feet in between the two double beds. No coffee maker, microwave or refrigerator in the room. Staff was friendly.

One night stay

A few friends and myself we're road tripping from Miami up for FISS we were only staying for one night so the price we paid we a steal considering every hotel in the area was booked. The staff was so nice and accommodating to any of our needs.

Cheapest room near interstate

Absolutely no amenities. Very worn room but overall cleanliness was better than expected and security was adequate except outside layout. For $45 total It seemed fine for just sleeping. Rooms have no shampoo or tissue, thin quilted covers, old TV basic cable, no radio, no pen/paper, no coffee or breakfast on site at all. None of this matters to me, I could walk to food and stores if needed. Easy on to I-75.

Adequate for overnight stay

It was OK, not great. The room was a smoking room cleaned to be non-smoking. The carpet felt sticky from cleaning but not drying. We needed a room for one night after a football game and were glad to be able to have a room but it wasn't great.

Football Getaway

Great location just 1.5 miles from UF campus, easy access to shopping and dining across the street. A "No Frills" property with minimal accommodations, no hair dryer, VERY small bath towels, and tiny, TV's in rooms. It serves its purpose as a place to crash after the games, but that's about it. I saw no evidence of insects or varmits of any kind. The pool was very big, but over-chlorinated and burnt our eyes after just one lap.

family emergency

The room needed some work. Burn marks in the comforter, the walls had cracks in the bathroom, the sink had an over spray when turned on.

OK, but just barely.

It was what we expected for a motel 6. The room had been renovated so the shower/bath appeared clean, but the floor was dirty and I had serious doubts about the carpet and cover linen. We only had the room for about 9 hrs most of which was spent sleeping. We choose it for the location (close to everything) and vacancy (graduation weekend). There was a lot of traffic noise but that doesn't really bother us. Staff was nice and accommodating.
