Now I realize that motel 6 even though is not franchising so much as other motel chains its very unpredictable. Some motel 6's are good but some not. About this one basically I agree with the previous reviews. First, the hotel as a previous reviewer mentioned is not located in a bad part of the town but attracts people that you definitely don't want to invite in your home. I guess that's why they have this "late night check-in" where you basically cannot access the lobby. Note that I went for a coffe at 8 am and still the lobby door was locked!
Motel is difficult to find. Even though visible from the highway, once you take the exit there is nowhere a sign to guide you. The area looks ok. Appears to be commercial. Many hotels around and across motel a gas station and convenient store. But be aware to see many weird guys shopping there.
Big advantage of the motel is that it is at walking distance from the light rail station (about a mile). I walked this even after dark and felt safe. With the light rail you access downtown in 10 min and pay just $1.50.
I stayed two night and the first night was terrible. People at the next room very noisy. I could also hear footsteps from the room above. I slept only two hours. For the next night I requested a new room at the second floor. This was excellent and quite. Lesson to be learned: Request a room on the second floor and pray that the people next to you sleep quietly. Unfortunatelly, it turns out most rooms areconnected by a door. This not only contributes to the noise but also adds a somewhow "unsafe feeling".
In summary, to be honest if I had the choice again I would pay the "extra $10.00" and would select the super 8 across the street. This motel 6 is designed for this "bad people" that also the previous reviewer indicated. It's not made for you, so why risking?
