Value

Check in was efficient. Room was a value. Room was on the north side of hotel, backed up to I80 so some road noise. Other than that I would stay at this location again. Was not looking for amenities, only location.

So good!

I love this place. Ok, so we're talking a budget travel motel...but they so have it right! The only reason I didn't rate it higher is because of wifi issues. I work online and their bandwidth was so limited and frustrating I had to give up. Not good for me. But the staff is great. The rooms are super clean and NEW. The outdoor pool was a bonus. My two big dogs stayed FREE! Overall such a great find. We will be back for many visits to come. Great value. Totally recommend.

The room was dirty but the staff was friendly and the hotel served its purpose as we were only there for a short time!

So glad I stayed

Decided to stay in DM instead of driving 2 hours home as I had a conference. Walked into the room on an extremely hot day to feel wonderfully cool. Motel even had an outdoor pool. Wish I had known that beforehand. Great experience. Great safe location. Great restaurant within walking distance.

sleep in car better

Business trip with wife. There was so much noise that I felt like I was sleeping on the interstate just outside of the room. Staff very unhelpful. Bed was uncomfortable. Bugs met us as we came in the room. Sheets on the bed felt like sandpaper. Could not even get a cup of hot water.

Very Pleased

I needed a motel that accepts pets and Motel 6 does not charge extra for pets. I also chose this Motel 6 because of the cheap price and good reviews. This place was even better than I imagined. It felt like a classy place. It would have been nice to have a clock and hair dryer in the room but I brought my own. Over all I was extremely pleased with this Motel and in a very nice part of town.

Nice

This is a nice hotel with large rooms. We were just passing through and didn't arrive until late in the evening. For the money and our purposes, it fit the bill. I particularly like that they accept pets with no extra charges.
