Yesterrnight we stayed Motel 6, and I felt compelled to write a review. Here’s a copy for your entertainment…
Motel 6 has that reputation of being just one step above rent-by-the-hour places. If there are accommodations on the road to Hell, Motel 666 is the last stop before you reach the sign that says “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” As a matter of policy, we never stay at Motel 6—but we had to make an exception because our cat is along on this trip, and they allow pets for free. We figured one night of misery was worth it. We were blown away by the quality of the accommodations. The building was brand new, with just a hint of flair in the decor. The bathroom even had a designer sink! More importantly, everything was clean, comfortable and quiet. The floor in our room was linoleum, which was perfect for a pet. We expected to lock the cat in the bathroom all night, but instead we gave him full run of the room.
I would give this three stars, on a scale where five means the toilets are made of gold and flushed with wine. The only drawback was that the one staff person we met at the checkin desk was just the tiniest bit sour, and she failed to suggest the door that was actually most convenient for accessing our room. But hey, they don’t pay staff to be nice (or intelligent) until you get to at least four stars.
Motel 6 has redeemed itself in our eyes, and upgraded to Motel 7. Sure, this was a fluke, but it is a sign that not all Motel 6s are created equal. This one was way more equal than most.
