Comfy beds
Absolutely love the main man at the front desk Sion. He is very intelligent and friendly. There beds are amazing. Very comfy and soft sheets. The bathrubs are very slippery and i wish they had some traction strips on them.

Stayed here a few times and no major complaints. This most recent visit I had gotten to the motel somewhat early and had to wait about 5-10 minutes before I could access my room. The toilet also seemed to be constantly running water but couldn't hear it with the door closed. Also could not connect to the Internet with my PS5 but that has been hit or miss.

Decent for the price
For the money it was a decent place, but you get what you pay for. It’s a little dingy and rundown but again for the price it wasn’t bad.

Good last-minute stay with 2 dogs
This was a last-minute booking, and I was glad to find a place for my dogs and me to stay. Past reviews were accurate: it’s in a quiet, corporate-canyon area. As a solo female traveler I felt safe.

It's good enough
It is adequate and rooms have been updated. The pool is closed and there is no snack bar. There is complimentary coffee. The lication is close to the nterstate, Jordan Creek Mall, and several food options.

Not the best
Fridge stopped working and freezer defrosted, leaking water on floor. Ice maker was out of service. Concierge was mediocre.

Nice Motel 6
The room was clean and comfortable. There was also a fridge with a small freezer in the room, which was an unexpected bonus for my road trip.

walking up to front entry is not good as it needs a good cleaning and pool cover is dirty and needs repair.for the price we paid there should have been breakfast included but all there is is vending machines.

The Room Does The Job
The location is really good. The room was updated and clean. The check in was fast and friendly.
The bad
The bed and pillows were not so good.
However, for the price and the necessity of quick place to sleep at an affordable price, this stay checked those boxes

The rooms were refurbished on the inside which was nice, and the hotel was in a quiet area. However, there was a noisy dog in one room, people watching their tv loudly, and smokers outside, so would suggest other places if you are staying for more than a couple nights

Clean quiet place. No frills but we were just needing a place to sleep. I would say good if on a quick business stop over but not for a family trip.
