I have relatives in the area and have stayed at this motel several times. The location is great, but a little tricky getting to (you have to go through the truck stop parking lot to get to the motel's office and parking lot). Except for the no free Wi-Fi, I have found the staff friendly, the place clean and affordable.... More

I am usually not a fan of this chain, but we were traveling and had been on the road (after working a full day) and this property was next to I-80, easy to get to, and didn't look bad. (the only other Motel 6 I would every recommend is by the airport in Lincoln, NE. My husband got the room... More

Really nicely updated Motel6. Room was very clean, clearly updated with the bamboo floors. Right near Adventureland if that's where you're headed. Restaurants nearby. Staff very accommodating, allowing me a late checkout. Smoking only permitted in Building B. One disadvantage is it is near the highway so there is some highway noise. The Flying J next door has excellent pizza!

I stopped here Oct. 2012 as I was driving down to Missouri. I was looking for an inexpensive, but comfy place to rest my head for a few hours before I hit the road again. This was my first stay at a Motel 6, and I was not impressed. The room was uninviting, and felt like I was sleeping in... More

Let me start by saying that this is a Motel 6...so you shouldn't expect the amenities of the Hilton (or the price). That being said, this is the nicest Motel 6 I've ever stayed in, likely because of the clearly recent room upgrades/remodeling. Everything in the room appears newish and it is coordinated to give off a modern vibe (see... More

I found the corporate owned Motel 6 a nice value and is newly renovated. Great on the run location, but not a long term stay establishment. My stay was the Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. The pool is clean and very nice, although I did not enter the "bathing" pool...

We stopped at 11pm at this Motel 6 without any expectations, and we paid their regular rates. When we walked into the room, we saw clean remodeled rooms, which made the night/ stay great. The only issue is that in some parts of the motel there is cigarette smell, but not in the room.

Cold tile floors in rooms. No lobby bathroom for kids. Small lightweight towels, no towels in pool area, no free breakfast, lots of rednecks as clients. Oh Boy! Breakfast next door way below average waitress no teeth. Yummy

Upon arrival we had a very friendly desk clerk. She was very fast and efficient. We were on the second floor which is ok for me, but they do not have an elevator. When we got in our room they had painted put in new fixtures, sink and towel holders. The mattresses seemed to be changed from the last time... More
