No problems checking my friend in last night. The room was tidy and clean. The only thing we didn’t like was that the law pulled behind our car and ran the tags after we had only been there a few minutes. Must be a really sketchy area
Bare bones hotel room but it was clean and very quiet. My only "complaint",if it can even be seen as a negative for a room at such a low price, was that the towels were a bit rough and all different sizes. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We only needed a place to sleep after an event and left early the following morning so it was great for our needs.
It’s a Motel 6…but super clean, friendly staff, right by all wanted restaurants and businesses and Notre Dame. I’d recommend.
I'm only giving 2 for the service because of a pending situation. Room were clean, the sheet was kinda smudge but I figured that's from putting it on the bed, maybe rubbed against the board.. Seeing that from my skills of doing this service 20 years ago as a Supervisor. But still shud have been recheck by an room inspector after full cleanup.
The only issue was the water took a long time to get warm to take a shower and they were out of shampoo/conditioner and soap but I imagine that was only temporary. However, the rooms were super clean and modern and the staff was excellent. A slight detour to get there but worth it.
The rooms were definitely smaller then a traditional place but the service was good and the staff was good to me.
Traveling cross country needed a place to spend the night. Driving around I noticed there was a security vehicle in the parking lot. I decided to stay there the room was clean and comfy, after a hot shower I got on my way. I did get the $60 security deposit refunded in a few days. Thank you!
This is a fairly new Motel 6 and is one of the nicest Motel 6 I've ever been in. It's spotlessly clean and the rooms are right in line with some 3 or 4 star hotels. The person who checked us in was friendly and professional, our room was spacious, was very nicely decorated plus included a wide screen TV and refrigerator (which comes in very handy since we booked for 2 weeks). The staff is really nice, and I would like to mention Carla specifically. She's the housekeeper and does an amazing job. Whenever I run into her (usually while I'm getting coffee) she always smiles and says "Good morning". They have fresh coffee every morning, it tastes great, and the staff won't look at you weird if you want a second cup. The hotel comes at a very low price, and is within walking distance to stores and just about anything you could want to eat. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.
