I stayed here because we had 2 dogs with us and that pretty much limits your lodging choices. I have learned by traveling with my dog that Motel 6's are "hit and miss", some decent, some disgusting. For example, the ones in Weed, CA and Marysville, CA are actually nice, but this one is definitely a "MISS". I don't expect much from Motel 6's, just a clean place to sleep and shower. This place failed the "clean" requirement in spades. Our non-smoking room smelled like a seedy dive bar. I had to take the pillow case off of my pillow (thank God I always bring my own) and cover my face with it to block out the smell. Even saturating the room with Febreze did nothing to help. There was a spider above the shower, and later I spotted one crawling down the wall towards my pillow. There was also a long black hair stuck to the ceiling above the shower. The tub drained SUPER slowly, leaving you to stand in your own filth up to your ankles (actually, it wasn't the thought of "my own" filth that bothered me). You had to hold the toilet handle down for a good 30 seconds to get the toilet to flush. The bathroom fan didn't work. The batteries kept falling out of the tv remote. They need to tear out the carpeting and burn it. The door chain fell off. No one cleans up after their pets, and the residents there (yes, there are TONS of people that actually LIVE there) apparently think they are exempt from the leash requirement for their dogs. They are also very trashy and confrontational, particularly the "ladies" who live in room 123 who like to sit right outside their room and smoke and drink beer with their tattooed shirtless skinhead boyfriends from about 2pm to 2am. I felt very unsafe -- my stay here had me deeply regretting I hadn't brought my .45 with me on this trip.

This Motel 6 was not by a freeway. It has an outdoor pool and does not provide breakfast. The motel does not supply shampoo or conditioner. It is close to shopping and there is no cost for pets. The room was large with two king beds and a flat panel tv. There was no microwave or fridge.The room was clean.

This obvious Motel 6 makeover of a once-upscale motel was even a cut below the usual Motel 6 standards. The furniture was spartan, mattress lumpy and cleanliness only so-so, no coffemaker. Next to a big FlyingJ truck stop. The only nearby restaurant is the Denny's at the truck stop. Acceptable for a short budget overnight stay.

This review is being written at 4:45am. The noise from the adjacent freeway is so loud it has kept me awake most of the night. One of the problems with reviewing more affordable hotels is that the lack of features make it difficult to compare. So what can you say about a motel that has next to nothing to distinguish it from any other cheap motel. The key thing going for this place is it's location. It is right next to the freeway and just down the street from a bunch of restaurants and a small shopping centre.

I liked that:
- check in was pleasant and quick. Staff were nice.
- the room was clean and the daily cleaning was good.
- large beds and reasonably sized room.
- the room has a big heater (important in ogden)

I note that:
- the room has no safe.
- the towels are really stingy.
- the room is quite dated.
- the room is really NOISY. Freeway traffic! I have not heard a thing from the occupants either side.
- they still use those old style bars of soap. You know the little bars wrapped in paper. These things are next to useless if you ask me.
- the lighting in the room is poor.
