Checked in; non-smoking room smelled of smoke; got relocated in the motel----guess what? (First 99 answers all the same as this one). Room smelled of smoke ! Had to stay as it was a football weekend and everything was booked. Later, contacted Motel 6 National H.Q. and was denied a refund. I should sue them for fraud as the room(s)... More

I needed to stay in Bloomington for 2 days and this was one of the only hotels that had a room...and I can see why. The room had a very musty smell and had a damp feeling. While it was clean there were no towels, washcloths or even soap to wash your hands. So if you are going to stay... More

First of all, I'm career military and I've slept in some really, really funky places. I don't need much -- quiet room, clean bed, place to wash up. After an 11-hour drive from Tulsa to Bloomington for a funeral, I desperately needed rest and had stayed at this Motel 6 in July 2009 without incident, so did not expect any... More

Was visiting family member in IU Med Center and needed just a clean place to sleep overnight. Went online at hospital to Motel 6 website and booked online rate. Got to motel and they put us all the way in last building (5) where people were living. But it would have been OK except for the very strong odor of... More

We stayed here one night for an IU Football game. The room smelled like smoke even though the property is non-smoking. The blankets had burn holes, the bedspreads were dirty and stained. Mattress was filthy, mattress pad did not cover the mattress. The towels were small, thin and stained. Bathtub had burn marks, shower head was falling out. TV remote... More

Stayed there 09/13/12 one night for visit to IU. Very convient location for IU. No frills, but more than served the purpose for us to just use the property to basically just put our head down at the end of the day. friendly service, clean room, clean bathroom, bedding was ok. One small thing, the towels were a little threadbare,... More

I paid a bargain basement price to stay at this Motel 6, and I got my money's worth... barely. First, they gave me a room that had so much mold in it, I could hardly breathe. No doubt I would have gotten sick had I attempted to sleep in this room. Thankfully, they agreed to switch me into another room... More

This is the worst motel I've ever had the privilege of seeing. I say seeing because as soon as we check in and saw the rooms, we checked out asked and received a full refund. We were traveling to Bloomington for a wedding and were looking for an inexpensive alternative to the the other hotels in the area, as we... More

So I needed a room for the night during the week as I was going to be traveling to a conference at a State Park and they didn't have any rooms for the night I needed it, so I began my search for a room. So I did a little research online and found out that they had NEW ROOMS,... More

Well after reading the other reviews, there must be "good" rooms and "bad" rooms in this motel. The renovation that is shown in the photos did occur, but in this particular unit the floorboards were buckled from water damage. Immediately upon getting into the room, I noticed a strong urine smell. It subsided a little when the HVAC was turned... More
