Motel 6 is an alright hotel certainly serves it purpose as a place to lay your head for a night and get on the freeway in secs. The SMELLY rooms are awful and they let pets stay in ALL rooms so you always find pet hair on your clothes. {not sure how often they wash the brown sheets} but I... More

I stayed at the Motel 6 during Gatornationals. This property is a bit dated, however very clean and just fine for the price I paid. $120 is a lot for a 6, but it sure beat $240 across the interstate or even $160 just down the road. No breakfast, but they had the best coffee I've tasted in a long... More

Forced to stay here due to last minute arrangements and paid $120 for a standard room that was filthy, toilet was patched, table was falling apart and there was a charge for WI-FI. I wouldn't have paid $40 to stay her under the best circumstances. Definite price gouging for local events - wouldnt have minded paying extra for a decent... More

I usually check TripAdvisor first, and go by the average recommendatins, but on this one I did not get a chance to check Wish I had. Room was shabby, did... More

I usually stay at Motel 6's, however this was one of the worst. 1 bed a little firm and one bed wore out. holes in the sheets, smaller than most motel 6's. Not worth the money, move onto the next motel 6.

The room was very basic, this is the classic, old style Motel 6 room. We did not have any bug problems that others had reported. The bathroom was clean, but don't expect alot of toiletries or plush towels. Just soap and thin towels. The front desk staff were super friendly. For a football weekend, the price was better than most... More

Yeah, bed bugs in three rooms. We were staying here not by choice. It was the weekend of the beginning of school, so they were our only choice. The rooms were not great, but that's part of the price. But I'm paying to sleep safe in a clean room. And then I got bitten by bed bugs. I found one... More

My husband and I stayed at this motel on our way home from a family visit. We chose it for easy access from the freeway. The room seemed to be newly painted and/or renovated. It was small, but clean and adequate for a one night stay. They had WiFi available for a small daily charge. I normally expect WiFi to... More
