Look people - it's a Motel Freakin' 6, what do you expect? We were in town for the UFL graduation weekend. We basically needed a place to sleep, clean up and that's about it - we weren't expecting anything fancy, and it suited us just fine for that purpose. As a frequent business traveler myself, I have stayed in plenty... More

I can honestly say that this is the worst hotel that I've ever stayed at in my entire life. It's so bad, that I'm leaving this review before I even leave this dump. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Our room was never cleaned and we never received fresh towels. We had roaches in our bathroom and other... More

I have traveled to Gainesville three times in the last five months and have stayed in four different hotels. This is by far the worst I have ever been in. From the outside it looks okay, when you walk in the room it is not outstanding but the spreads were new. However, when I went into the bathroom there was... More

This motel had been renovated, but it was just OK. The room was clean, but the cable tv had very few channels and unsavory guests hung around the parking lot. The wifi they advertise had a $2.99 per day fee not mentioned when making reservations. You find out about the fee when you call the office because you can't get... More

I guess I didnt expect much but I was dissappointed. Room was small but ok. Freshly painted. Tub wouldn't drain. Light above sink was blown (Guess they left it on for me too long). Found 2 live roaches in the bathroom. Asked for extra pillows and a hair dryer and they said they didnt have either. Non smoking room but... More

We were supposed to have am ground floor room as one of us is handicapped...and it was a second floor room. It wasn't clean, there were clumps of curly black hair on the floor in front of the sink. Towels were thin and dingy, and there was almost enough toilet paper on the roll to cover the brown paper, requiring... More

I wouldn't stay at this hotel again. When we came back to our room at night we found a long brown bug by the sink - a few minutes later we found another by the toilet. About 15 minutes later we found another one. After that I was afraid to look around anymore and we would've considered going elsewhere but... More

Good price, clean room, clean sheets, good location. Helpful desk staff. Management should consider placing all smoking rooms in a wing away from the non-smoking rooms so that smoke does not drift into non-smoking rooms. Sheets were clean but blanket and comforter need to be laundered or replaced.

Clean rooms, although small, have everything you need. Everything was standard, but was there. The grounds were kept, the pool was nice, and it was close to a gas station and a Shoney's! And I75. I was pleasantly surprised.

Stayed at the Motel 6 on November 13, 2004 during the busy Homecoming weekend. Rooms were scarce or very overpriced. Was able to find a Non-Smoking room that was affordable. Right off of I-75 and Archer Rd. walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. You get what you pay for, but the bathroom/shower was very clean and bed was comfortable.... More
