Mark

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The door lock wouldn't open, the property owner manually opened it and when asked how i could leave and return was told to prop the door open or come get the attendant again. The room was clean but the celing was peeling, especially in the bathroom. The whole toilet was loose and i had one towel and nothing else. There was a burn hole in the incredibly thin comforter. There were dead roaches on the floor, as in 3. I grabbed my bags and moved to the days inn right down the street, i didn't want to have the hassle of dealing with the less than cordial attendant so i just left without a refund. The motel is a budget option but for 54 dollars i expected a clean and safe room

Good location but that's where the good ends!

Motel had recently changed hands and went from a Motel6 to a Rodeway Inn. Was informed that a remodel was in place by another hotel and that they were under the impression that the room I was placed in had been closed until remodel was complete. Carpet was stained and had cigarette burns all over it. Turn on the heat and it stunk up the room in less then 5 minutes where you couldn't breathe. No Wi-Fi as listed but upon check out they had a sign at the front desk apologizing for the inconvenience. Will not return, nor will I recommend it to anyone else even with such an affordable rate.

Decent Place for a Short Stay

It was a decent stay for the low price. I did have a dead roach on my bed, but it was dead so I figured it means they are keeping it under control. The hotel is really old. The tv was a box tv, but I was ok with it. I don't really care about tv though. I didn't have shampoo in the room. Just a couple of bars of soap. There was no hair dryer in the room, but I expected that for the price. I wouldn't stay there more than a couple of days, but for just a place to lay your head for the night it was fine. It didn't have a funny smell or anything either.

Camping is only marginally less comfortable

I chose the hotel for the rate. I have to make frequent trips to Ft. Smith due to my parents health and I can't afford higher hotel cost at the frequency that I am there. Motel 6 is a very inexpensive, no frills hotel. The clerk was very friendly but I don't feel the housekeeping does a thorough job in the rooms or sidewalks. Some small pieces of trash I spotted under the bed and behind the nightstand were still in the exact room I stayed in the week before. I am concerned that the same care of the bedding could be also subpar. The room I stayed in was non-smoking but there were cigarette butts on the ground up against the wall right outside of the door. The room did smell of stale smoke and it was very musty. The shower looked clean as well as the sink and toilet. There were clean towels and wash cloths. The bed is comfortable enough or I was very tired but anyhow I slept okay. I camp a lot so I can manage in conditions others might not find acceptable.

Bed bug motel 6

Ok so on one side you had lots of men drinking beer sitting on their trucks or with a chair outsude their room and hitting on us. The receptionist on the first day was very nice n accomodating. We woke up with bed bug bites all over our bodies. Red marks all over. Before we left i wanted to go swim but the lady wouldnt open the pool til close to 10 n we had to check out at 11 so no time of course n we checked in at 8 n pool closed at 9. We chose to ho to supper. Online it said online treadmill and breakfaat all they offer is coffee. When we left or arrived men whistled n stared us down in exaggeration. It was a horrible stay except for the first desk clerk we had she was awesome. Bed bugs are a serious issue we took pics of our bites and are thinking of calling the health dept.

A Descent Night Stay

The motel was near the highway and close to a few restaurants. The guy at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. The room was large and satisfactory but the shower was a surprise. It was like a transporter from Star Trek - beam me up Scottie. Overall a descent night stay.

Not great.

Front desk was very friendly. Door was broke and I couldn't get in my room, so carried all my bags back to office and was given another room (on 2nd floor again), so had to drag everything back (quite a distance from the office). Had to pay $5 extra for wifi, which was advertised in lobby for unlimited devices. After continually being disconnected, I called & was informed it was only for one device. I needed this to upload video for work---had the video uploading all night and what should have taken about 1 hour, was still not done in the morning. Had to go across the street to McDonalds wifi to finish (which was possibly in range from the hotel). TV was ancient, tiny, box set. No fridge or microwave.
