8/10 Very good

Very very positive.

Pleasantly surprised. Clean, fresh, new. Only one complaint- the pillows were hard and flat. Bring your own. Owner/manager very nice, building well maintained. Good 4 day visit. Would definitely recommend.

It was ok. After all it’s a motel. Can definitely say the price is what you get. Just needed somewhere to stay the night and it fulfilled its purpose.

Loved the property overall. It would be nice to have a table and 2 chairs in the room (we love to play cards). Staff was great and location was fantastic.

6/10 Good

Okay

Well, it was nice and prepared when i arrived, but house keeping didn't clean my room the 4 days i was there 😥😥😥. I asked twice for them to do so but they didn’t, and as a result, i had to ask for necessities like towels, toilet paper among other things. I hope that they fix that so next time, i come back to a clean room while on a multiple day visit.

Motel 6 is just the best place to stay when you have dogs. This was a nice clean motel 6.

Stay somewhere else.

There is a person on a computer screen who checks you in, even though there is a live human being sitting behind a desk. It is ridiculous and the practice is revolting. The room was overpriced and dirty. Do not recommend unless you have no other option, I should have just slept in the car.

Family reunion trip

Get ready for remote access. No human face to face contact. Had issue with the bathroom and they were able to give me a different room. Beds were comfortable.Had to stay an extra night and they gave us our extension with no problems.

Less than 5 minutes from CPH

Exactly what I paid for, a nice bed to sleep on and a hot shower at the end of the day. I came to help my daughter move out of her dorm and it was a perfect stay. Thanks M6!

Worst check-in process I've ever experienced.

It's a motel 6. Rooms are small, beds aren't super comfy, shower situation in this one was weird. Mostly I'm just avoiding this one because of the awkward experience of checking in on a zoom call with someone in another country while the person working there just stands and watches me. Totally unnecessary and weird process and feels super gross. We can't even talk to real people at a motel any more? No issue on the guy sitting on a zoom screen for his entire shift (also just terrible) but again, it's awkward as hell and completely unnecessary. Also toilet seat in room was broken but that wasn't really anyone's fault except housekeeping for not fixing it. Also also, not excited about some machine scanning my ID front and back and sending it across the Atlantic. AAVGO is the company. The beginning of the end.

Quick overnight.

Just needed the room for a night. We checked in right before bedtime. The room was clean, comfortable. Got up showered and left. It's just what we needed. The pool was covered and seemingly not available for guest use. Didn't matter to us. But if anyone's thinking about going there and using the pool I would call ahead first.

Decent stay, but Definitely Not Worth the price

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The automatic kiosk check-in was pretty cool and convenient, which made the arrival process smooth. The room itself was small but clean, so no complaints there. However, the bath towels were ridiculously tiny—you couldn’t even properly dry off, let alone wrap one around yourself. On top of that, the sink’s water pressure was way too strong, causing water to splash everywhere every time I used it. Another downside was the presence of homeless people around the hotel, which made the area feel less safe and welcoming. Overall, the stay was okay, but definitely not worth $100 per night.
Sumedh, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.
Mary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nicely updated. Great staff. But heater didnt work. And only sheet and super thin cover which typically goes on top of comforter was on both beds. Staff would have probablybrong some but we were beat tired to even call in the middle of the night after long day of hiking.
Vilma, 1-night trip

No employees it the front desk. Keos with call center personnel who doesn't speak clear English is impersonal, inconvenient. This will be our last stay at this location. .
Monte, 2-night trip

Check in was easy. Could use a coffe pot in the room. Comforter has a cigarette burn on it and this is a non smoking room. Everything else was pretty good.
Daniel, 1-night trip

“Nicely remodeled rooms and a great value—definitely one of the best deals in town! The virtual check-in process was fast and convenient, with room keys dispensed automatically. However, it was a bit confusing since there was also someone behind the front desk, yet no human interaction took place
