I gave the Motel 6 a 5-star rating because this was a surprisingly great value and it far exceeded my expectations for a budget motel.
Out of the two budget motels in this area, this is, by FAR the nicest. I wish I had discovered the Motel 6 first and booked it before booking the other place down the street the night before--HUGE difference! The first thing I noticed when I checked-in was the scent of the lobby. Crazy, I know, but it smelled so nice and inviting. The young woman at the desk was professional and very pleasant (not gushy and cheesy, but just very welcoming). The hallways were clean and my room was spotless. The accommodations were simple, with bare faux wood flooring, but the room felt updated and in excellent condition. My sheets and bedding smelled very fresh and the bed itself was quite comfortable. The bathroom was just the right size and didn't feel cramped.
I was very surprised at the cleanliness, comfort, and overall value of this budget hotel. I had very low expectations and left quite happy with my overnight stay.
