Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was in a seedy part of town. There were homeless people milling all about the hotel and parking area. The room was extremely dirty. There were stains on the bed covering, dirt on the floor, not our hair in tub and on floor, and the smell was horrific. My son and I didn’t feel comfortable or safe. We stayed 5 minutes and left. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.

Clean and basic … just what was needed (a place to sleep and shower). Right now the main office/breakfast area is being renovated (pool also closed) so there is no breakfast (which is perhaps why the price was so affordable). Also, this place is literally walkable from the airport!

When we booked, Motel 6 not only said "Pet Friendly," but it advertised "Pets Stay Free!" When you chat with M6 on Twitter, their tag line at the top still advertises that. But, unfortunately, it isn't true. We had an emergency booking due to a funeral. We had to bring our four cats. We chose this hotel because "Pets Stay Free." When we arrived late at night, we were told that there is a $100 deposit for pets (which we paid and which was returned, fine). BUT, it's also only TWO pets that stay free. We were charged $80 non-refundable for two cats for two nights (20/pet/night). This is explained nowhere on Expedia and, again, it said "Pets Stay Free" in multiple places. When we tried discussing it with the staff, twice, we were told that their policy is their policy. But it's misleading when you advertise "pets stay free," is it not? They didn't care. "Well, if not, someone could bring 20 dogs," they said. And that's true... BUT... then you shouldn't be advertising that "Pets Stay Free," because they don't. It's false advertising. I'm not saying their policy is a bad one; I'm saying it's NOT the policy that's stated online and therefore, false advertising. They refused a refund of the $80, as did Motel 6 corporate. This was very disappointing and very dishonest. What does it do? It teaches you that you need to lie about pet numbers with Motel 6. That's what it teaches, sadly, because they're falsely advertising the policy, yet you're the one that will pay.

Have stayed here several times when visiting Snake Road in the Shawnee. It's always clean, and we've never had any problems. The microwave and refrigerator are a plus. Parking is easy, and check-in and check-out are easy.
