Easy check in. Nice friendly service, room is clean, hot water, towels and a nice bed. All for a reasonable price. For a night stay it fits all the check points.

I've stayed here several times. This is definitely a budget motel but the employees are friendly, the rooms are clean, and the a/c is cold. No issues whatsoever. There's also a pretty decent Mexican restaurant in the adjacent parking lot that has 3 dollar beers. What more could you possibly ask for?

My husband and I stayed here because we were moving from Georgia to Michigan. We were completely exhausted from the drive and other circumstances. We had 4 cats with us, our whole life in a Uhaul, and I had been through a rollover accident that totaled our car hours before. This is important because the staff had no idea of what we had gone through before we got there. They were very nice, understood that we just needed some rest. The front desk person was kind and helpful and made an exception for our cats even though we were 2 over the limit. We got the rest we needed to finish the drive. I'm giving this review because we were at a really low point, and the staff was compassionate and helpful. The room itself was clean and pretty nice. Our cats were able to get out of their carriers and eat. The people here care, and that's worth 5 stars.

Overall the stay was a good experience. The room smelled a little "smoky" when we first entered I let the office know as to not be charged for smoking in the room. We don't smoke so it was blah. Also the bathroom ceiling had mold on it which I let them know the next morning. Otherwise everything else was good.

A nice enough motel. The front desk clerk was very helpful. Close to attractions and restaurants. We stayed there when we went to Renfro Valley for a show.

I was very pleasantly surprised! Very clean, modern room, well maintained, comfortable. Has microwave and fridge. Stopped here randomly just for one night during a road trip. I had never stayed at motel 6 before. Wish I could've stayed longer.

I stayed in a single King smoking room from Friday night until Sunday & had reserved the room online. The check-in process was easy & the front desk worker was helpful & friendly. The room was not the cleanest I had stayed in. Normally, the rooms are here. Despite me cleaning the bathroom myself, the room was comfortable & there is cable & wifi. The front desk worker was helpful when my key card quit working & when I discovered my remotes batteries were missing. Friday night, there were guests being super loud until 2 a.m., but it was quiet Saturday. Sunday at 9 am, the housekeeper just walked right in without knocking or anything, which I wasn't pleased with. After this incident, I felt she was rushing me to leave, although checkout is 11. Normally, I have zero complaints staying here. I don't know if it was just an off weekend or if they have new workers, but it was the one time I was not happy with my stay 100%.
