I stay in a lot of Motel 6's. You may even say I like Motel 6's. Mainly because they save me money, and sometimes because they contain interesting people. Regardless, I'm not one to knock this brand, and I am aware of what I am getting myself into when I book with them.

Unfortunately, their Manhattan, KS property doesn't quite live up to what I expect. The rooms were actually pretty dirty. The shower barely worked, and the beds were far from comfortable. And to top it off, the Internet - which I paid extra for - did not work.

In the future, I wont avoid Motel 6's, but I will avoid this location.

The company I am employeed by has recently acquired various contracts in the Manhattan, Ks. area. Requiring me to travel and stay several nights throughout the week. I chose Motel6 for its centralized location and competitive room rates. I have stayed at other hotels in the area and have found the staff to be just as professional and friendly as hotels with $100.00 a night rates. The cleanliness of the rooms at Motel 6 was just as good or in some cases better.

My daughter and her 1 year old were unexpectedly stuck in Manhattan, Ks tonight. They were suppossed to stay with friends but because they had bad communication, they needed a place to stay for the night. I didn't want my daughter to spend her cash just in case she needed it to get home the next day so offered to pay for her room with a credit card. I don't have a fax machine at my home so I went to my place of business to make copies of my credit card and drivers license and to also fax a credit card authorization form back to them. Our copy machine was very low on ink so the first copy was not very clear and the desk clerk wouldn't accept it. Meanwhile, my daughter asked where the rest room was and the girl at the front dest(Rosemary) told her she couldn't use their restroom!!!! I finally managed to get a good copy to re-fax but by that time, my daughter had had enough of her rude treatment. She went to Super 8 and was treated as a guest should be treated plus they had no problem reading my fax. They actually told me all I need to do is fax the authorization form to them tonight and tomorrow , when I had a better copy of my drivers license and credit card , fax everything else. As a business owner myself, the customer experience should exceed their expectations. This treatment by Hotel 6 was a far cry from that. Thank you for reading this and I hope this helps steer potental customers of Hotel 6 to a much better customer friendly Hotel.

The rooms have been recently renovated. New bathrooms, fixtures, linens, and hardwood floors. Daily maid service. Free coffee. Across from mall and shopping. Great customer service.
