I don't know where to begin... It was a long night. First off...before going to bed, I noticed several stains on the sheets that weren't mine (seriously!) and before turning out my light...saw a foreboding lump under the adjacent bed...upon investigation...this "lump" turned out to be a REAL DOG TURD. I assume the dog ate several rotten baked and loaded... More

I have to be honest, my expectations were pretty low for a Motel 6 that only cost me $37.99/night. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my accommodations. My room was immaculate... Period. There was no dirt or dust anywhere. I even looked under the beds and found nothing. I've heard horror stories about people getting bitten by... More

This was the first time we stayed in a hotel room that had laminate hardwood floors. It was a pleasent surprise. We had traveled with our dog and cat, moving accross the country. The motel was perfect for our stay. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly. The rate was so inexpensive! We only needed it for... More

Other than a really bad vaccuum job throughout this hotel (the area right under the comforter on the bed, hallways, etc.) there was really not a lot to make me say that the place was bad. The strangest thing, though, was the not-so-eye-pleasing hallways throughout the place. There are narrow hallways painted a strange blue - no artwork - looked... More

Had trash from fast food joint lying in the middle of the hall.Got there late (11 pm),left early (6 am).Slept with my clothes on,didn't want to take any chances with the bedding.Spend more for a decent room somewhere else!

I took the leap and stayed here despite mostly bad reviews, what I found was it was an average hotel that is good for a cheap price. You get a bed, a bathroom, and a tv...thats about it, no coffee pot, no clock in the room, etc. If you are looking for the cheapest place in the Chicago area, this... More

The shower was falling apart, the AC unit wasn't working, the in-room phone didn't work and no one seemed to care!! What's worse, is when I called Motel 6 and told them about it, the person who took my call more or less said, "oh well... too bad"! To add insult to injury, I received a "generic" letter of apology.... More

After driving to the point of exhaustion, I stopped in the Merrillville,. Indiana Motel 6. The slim black woman that was behind the counter acted like she was mad I showed up. She asked me If I had a reservation. I said no. She shook her head and said fill out the form, someone else will take over. The way... More

This is like the slum lord of motels. This is absolutely the worst motel EVER!!! Tried to check in at 7:30 p.m. and rooms were not clean even though we had reservations. When we finally got a room all they had were hand towels and wash cloths. When we called 3 times to get bath towels they finally said that... More
