Motel 6 Effingham, IL

Ty

Odeur de fumée de cigarette dans la chambre même si la réservation était pour une chambre non-fumeur.

There was no outlet to plug in my phone charger by my bed.

So the place is pet friendly which is good for people like me that like to travel with my dogs. But honestly it was barely clean enough for my dogs. The beds were clean. The sheets were clean. The towels were cleaned but the floor was horrible. Didn't even want to take my shoes off hated using the sink because it was gross and so was the tub. And the people that were staying there were like homeless people just didn't feel safe and didn't sleep well. Wondering if the room was that dirty? Am I going to have bed bugs? But there were no bed bugs and check in was weird. They used a kiosk which didn't work. So I normally don't give reviews like this, but I was pretty shocked because I've stayed in motel 6's and never had this situation, especially in a small town like Effingham Illinois. I was there for a funeral which was stressing enough and then to feel like I couldn't even relax because of the people smoking pot being drunk coming and going and the filth I guess you would say it was not very accommodating.

This location was fine for a 1-night stay, passing through on our trip from Florida back to Wisconsin. We had our golden retriever with us, and I like this chain for the fact that their rooms are not carpeted, especially if they accept all pets. The flooring was in rough condition, along with the fixtures in the room. There was a family with children next to us who were quite loud, but they quieted at a reasonable hour, and the area was then quite peaceful through the night, despite being surrounded by other hotels and restaurants. There was a heavy "smoke" odor coming through the bathroom fan/vent in the evening, which had dissipated by morning. There was also a large, overflowing garbage can almost right outside our room. It is an easy off/on from the highway, and we highly reccomend the Pizza Man just a few blocks away. Check-in & check-out were quick - we booked through Hotels.com. This is more or less a "you get what you pay for" situation, but, overall, it served our purposes.
