My husband, two kids (ages 4 and 5), and I needed a place to stop overnight on a road trip from Austin to San Diego. It's a Motel 6 in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't expecting much and this place met my expectations. The beds weren't comfy, the shower didn't drain, the hot water and cold water were opposite positions, and the room was very small, dated and well used. That said, it was inexpensive, smelled of cleaning products (which is good), the staff was nice, and there was the added bonus of it having a refrigerator and microwave.

We needed a quick overnight stop on a driving trip across the Southwest & picked Motel 6. It's about what you would expect from a Motel 6--no amenities; property was a little tired & in need of refurbishment. But the front desk staff was very friendly & helpful when we checked in. The real reward came the next morning. Several hours after we left, my husband realized that his phone had fallen out of his pocket when he was loading the car. We called, expecting nothing. But wonder of wonders, the phone had been found & turned in. They mailed it back to us & it arrived a few days later. Excellent work, Debbie of Motel 6!

Ok, ....so you need to bring your own hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner. I normally bring these itmes anyway. For the price, I think $43 tax included this place is very worth it. All the other places were $79 to $120 and there were some dumps at higher prices. Motel 6 was clean, refurbished, new beds, shower only, hardwood floors, new bedspreads......The pictures when i looked up on*line are old pictures. We bought our breakfest down the street at sonic one day and subway the next. So we spent approx $50 a day for hotel and breakfest. The other hotels that offer breakfest ar $89 and up. Save yourself some money and stay at the Motel 6 while the furnishings are still new!

I stayed one night in Van Horn's Motel 6. It's right by train tracks: I'm a sound sleeper, but the train woke me up twice during the night. Blanket on bed was scimpy; there was no fitted sheet on the bed: the bottom sheet was a torn flat sheet. Smell in room (cleaning solution? mold?) was very strong. Cable TV connection was so bad that I couldn't see the weather map on The Weather Channel. I stay at Motel 6's because I travel with a small pet and with Motel 6 I avoid hassles, but I would avoid this Motel 6 in the future. One good thing: front desk clerk was very friendly.
