What guests think

Motel 6-Janesville, WI draws mixed feedback: many guests appreciate friendly front-desk staff, low prices, pet-friendly policies, and a convenient location near highway and shops, while others report serious cleanliness problems, strong odors, pests, and noise from other guests.

Rooms are basic, with frequent comments about flat pillows, uncomfortable mattresses, dated finishes, and occasional issues like malfunctioning TVs, plumbing, or smoke drifting in from outside. Facilities are limited (lobby coffee and basic parking), and some guests faced early housekeeping knocks, key or booking mix-ups, or difficulties getting refunds. Overall, expect a no-frills budget stay where low rates compete with inconsistent upkeep and environment.

Parking was pretty full. So challenging to find a place to park. Other than that a great experience.

Staff is friendly. Very clean. Pups loved it. Side we were on had an empty field I could take them potty. They ask everyday if you need anything. Depending on what side your on 2 days a week the bedding is changed if you need it.

The front office was personable and check in was quick. There is coffee available in the lobby from 6 to 10 am. Also ice machine. The room had microwave and fridge. That was nice. Water in shower was nice and hot. No amenities but soap. Very close to Walmart and Sam’s and food choices. The room was adjoining to another room with inside door between the rooms. People next door had dogs that barked a lot and they smoked right outside the door and we had a smoky smell in our room. Bath towels need to be replaced. Very brown and dingy. Had several flies in our room. The bed was okay but mattress really needs to be replaced. You sunk into the bed. Parking was limited at the door so had places behind you parked along curb. It would be easy for someone to back into you if not paying attention. The nightly rate is very reasonable and one night would maybe be okay but we were in town for a 4 night event. We wouldn’t stay here again. Really needs some updating.

I'm not picky. It's a place to lay my head. It's clean and safe. It could be so much worse but for the price it's fair. Nothing fancy but I'm okay and my favorite part is pets stay free.

The bedding was disgusting!! The sheets and pillow cases were discolored and yellow ish not white and stained very badly! Housekeeping came before my check out time and opened my room door while I was out eating without permission. Horrible motel! I explained the issue through email and they denied a refund. Don’t recommend staying here.

Hotel was not full, but we were put in a corner room that faced the main roadway and the highway was directly on the side of our room. Very noisy with traffic. We had to beg for an additional pillow. Bed was extremely hard. Housekeeping bright new towels but didn't make the bed. Only 1 outlet in the room, asks it was full with the tv, microwave and frig.

This property was as expected: a bed, a bathroom and nothing else. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked. The linens and towels were budget and the building shows its age. If that doesn’t phase you, can’t beat it for $100.

When I booked the reservation online, I requested special accommodations such as a shower with a bathtub and do not disturb. None of my requests were granted and despite having the do not disturb sign on the door, housekeeping still harassed me and even opened the door while I was still in the room. There definitely needs to be better communication between housekeeping and the front desk to let them know whether or not a guest is checked out. I was very displeased with my stay. I was uncomfortable and felt unsafe. I specifically asked for a do not disturb sign. Housekeeping totally dismissed the sign on the door twice, disturbing my rest and privacy. I was very tired and I needed ALL of my time before checkout.

Got there and found out someone canceled my stay leaving me without a place to stay for that weekend. Either Expedia or motel 6’s fault. There was no text, email, anything to tell me it was canceled. I was still charged the day of (and then thankfully refunded). I was offered a room for one night for 3x the price I originally paid. At receptionist was nice and patient with me.

I made the reservation 2 weeks ago. When we got there Saturday night there was a big concert in the area. They were canceling peoples reservations right and left. So no room and their comment was good luck finding a room. So my son in law found us a room 150 miles away. We had driven 12 hours to Janesville from Manchester TN. We are both in our 70’s so we were beat and needed that room. My opinion is that they bumped all the low paying people and reserved rooms for those who would pay a higher price. Not good business at all.

Had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were the most efficient, friendly, professional ones I have met at a hotel. I didn't want to leave. Very quiet, safe environment. Didn't have to wear my earplugs! The only drawback was being woke up every morning by housekeeping 2 hours b4 check out. I had extended my stay too. I had just checked in and they knocked on door an hour later. I had a emergency medical issue arise otherwise I would've stayed longer.

As soon as we got there and saw the room, I called the front desk & asked for a refund but I booked it online & was refused. Bring your own PILLOWS!! The whote limp lumps were flat and pathetic. No coffee pot and coffee at the office isn’t available until 6 AM! FLIES in the bathroom. Very Very hard to get to. We missed our turn & had to go to Edgerton before we could turn around!!! Approx. 7 miles there and back. The road is very confusing and we had Google Maps!! The window wand pull kept flapping every time the heater came on and I kept thinking someone was breaking in!! Finally figured it out. Would not recommend it or ever stay there again. This is my 1st Bad review but I wish I knew these things before booking it.

I don't like the fact that this motel is very judgemental especially towards pets that includes puppies personally all my puppy did was chew one cord and a remote both which were paid for in full by me but upon my return I was appalled at the judgement upon me and when speaking to staff they didn't understand plain English I had to repeat myself multiple times the super 8 motel was way way better and offered breakfast for the same price of a room at this motel I will not likely recommend a future stay here especially if you have pets as the staff are very judgemental yet say they r pet friendly this is definitely not the case all I did was come in at a certain to sleep because I work 12 hours a day this business is appalling at how it treats customers
