Exceptional

Liked: This is a far better Motel6 than a previous experience I've had with this chain. The location is great, directly behind a Casey's and not too far from the University. It was fairly quiet for a uni town.The beds are very comfortable and the telly works. They also provided clean towels, soap, and free coffee in the lobby. Door keys worked and I didn't have to ask for them to be reprogrammed as I did at another Motel6.My room also had a small table and chairs which is nice for mealtime. And I very much so appreciated the drawing curtains for the windows to shield outside bright lights from said Casey's which is in the adjacent parking lot, a very convenient fact if you want snacks, sweets or soda.The staff were friendly to me as well, which is a bonus.All in all I rate this the best motel I've been in yet, and I would definitely stay here again if given occasion.
Disliked: Just a little bit dirty, but nothing too alarming. A few small bugs near the washroom, but normal given the area and manageable with a few more regular maintenance checks.
