The motel is very quiet and our room was spacious and clean. It’s also close to many businesses, restaurants, grocery stores and the Oaks Mall. I was actually very impressed because the motel 6s in Grand Rapids, MI, where I am from, are complete dumps. This one is not which very much surprised me. They even have a CLEAN pool. They are right next to the Marriott so that might raise their bar lol, but I was impressed with it for such an inexpensive stay. Ty! Kendra Shuck

Basic room. Refrigerator, no microwave or coffee pot. Tub was in rough shape, but shower worked. Pool area was nice, but was too cold to use. Large area to walk pets. Lots of rooms, but took 3 tries to find a room that my key would work on. Was a little frustrating after a long day of driving to have to return to the front desk 2 times and then be placed in a room that made me walk a distance multiple times to bring in my belongings. 😬

Everything was very clean & the staff is very friendly & helpful . The only thing I couldn't understand is why they didn't have any shampoo , they only give you a couple bars of soap. I think they should have 4 pillows instead of 2 , but I'm probably sounding like a spoiled brat ! They should have microwaves in the rooms . The coffee in the main office is very delicious . I definitely would come back

Honestly, it’s a Motel 6. The stay is not expensive and the accomodations reflect that. It’s a short ten minute drive to the events I go to, it’s quiet, and feels safe. If this sounds negative, it shouldn’t; I’ve been staying at this place for the past five(?) years and definitely plan on doing so again in the coming year. There’s AC, security locks, a pool, and complimentary coffee. And the front desk staff is great.
