Although I had booked and paid the room online, the receptionist required a $50 deposit, which would be refunded after I checked out (I was told this was their “policy” and refund wouldn’t be given until the room had been checked by motel staff after I left). There was a shortage of electrical outlets in the room, so I had to unplug the microwave to get an outlet for my laptop. 6 hours after leaving the motel, they have still haven’t refunded the deposit. I called 5 hours ago (well after they check the rooms people have checked out of) to inquire about my deposit since I hadn’t received any word on it and left my email for them to send the refund receipt. I still haven’t received any feedback/email from them.

I stay at Motel 6when I travel across the country because pets stay free. But this has to be one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed and will return . You won’t be disappointed.

First time I’ve ever had to pay a $50 deposit at a motel 6 and I use motel 6’s two to three times a month. Would be nice if they tell you about the deposit prior to the stay.

I have stayed at Motel 6 in several states over the years. They have been clean, in good condition and a good choice for the price. With that being my expectation in Elizabethtown KY, I was extremely disappointed. The room was shoddy to say the least. The beds were clean so we stayed the night. The stairs leading to the second floor were missing large pieces of concrete. The staff who checked us in was less than professional. They had a conversation in front of me on whether to charge me a room deposit. They decided that a 66 year old woman appeared to be a threat to the condition of the motel and held a $50. room deposit on a room that costs less than $100. to stay in. This motel brings down the positive opinion of the Motel 6 chain.

The room is really clean, small, and basic. The shower is the size of a mini closet. I could barely fit in the shower. This hotel is next to a SUPER busy intersection (Beware of the noise). This is a average hotel for an average price.

The floor was wet. At least that meant it had been mopped but because the AC was not on, it was not dry. Shower was small and awkward. Very basic room, nothing special. But the lady at the front desk was very nice.

Bed was clean, room was as clean as could be, however not nice. Seal on door was missing allowing noise, so room was very noisy. Flooring was popped up and noisy as if the room flooded. Shower top wasn't completed, and looked like room was under construction. Would not stay again.

The bed was very uncomfortable. Each side sloped down and you felt like you were going to roll off the bed. It was a nonsmoking room but the sheets and blanket had burn wholes in them. Shower base was cracked all the way around and stained really bad. Last time I stayed in a motel 6 was thirty years ago and it was a bad experience so after 30 years I thought I would give it another try and now another bad experience.

Rooms look nothing like the photos… They messed up our room order… We had to change rooms, sleep separate from my husband, because only a double bed was available. We were told it was a queen. Then, they told us it was two doubles. Then, I went at 10:50 at night we went down to say it was only one double, they said it was miss labeled. I’m exhausted and this was the last thing we need it today.

Hotel is located conveniently by the highway. There are numerous dining choices from fast food to sit down. Checkin was very smooth and quick. It has a nice pool and wading pool for children. Attractive roses on property are well maintained. Room was small and clean. I would call this a typical Motel 6 accommodation. Very reasonable in price.
