It's easy to make assumptions about Motel 6 locations but this particular example is being run by a family that is committed to customer service and a positive experience for their guests. This is my second time staying here, primarily because they did such a good job addressing a room problem I had on the first visit.

First time to book and stay at a Motel 6. Chose because wanted this area/location. This motel definitely needs improvement. If they are all like this one, no thank you. Will not be booking a stay at Motel 6 again in the near future.

Sits on a main road. The over all area, Venice is nice. The property was pretty bad. The room was tiny, dirty, stained sheets and smelled like urine. This place is gross!

For a spot to hang your hat for a few days, this Motel 6 is great, mostly for single travelers. Fine for two ppl, but it'll feel tight, as the rooms are NOT spacious. The staff was competent and professional, though not especially friendly.

This is a far cry from the old seedy hotels of yesteryear; I'd even have the flooring in my house! It was also very clean and odor-free. The location is good, too, sort of in the middle of the stretch between Tampa & Naples, with plenty of nearby shopping & restaurants.

There is a major car wash right next door that gets quite loud, but they don't open too early (9 am, I think) or close too late (around 5 pm or so). The motel is right on US 41, but you don't really hear traffic while in your room.

The negatives are relatively minor. The shower, which has amazing pressure, is small and has a weird setup. It's in a corner with a rounded front, and the showerhead is in the front, aimed at the corner. You will be bumping things with your elbows! My bathroom was very clean and the towels a bit better than usual.

The worst thing was the a/c. It worked well, even in 90° heat, but it's loud and always seemed to be too warm or too cold. Also, I had to divert the airflow at night (chair & luggage).

Wait; the worst part was no coffe maker in the room. Fortunately, I'd brought my own!

I would not hesitate to recommend this Motel 6 to anyone or book it myself, should the need arise.

The room was clean and had everything we needed. My husband said his side of the bed sagged toward the side and was not comfortable, but my side was fine. There were only 2 pillows on the bed, and we were glad we had one of our own from the car to use. The pool was very nice and the staff was great. The dog area was pretty small, but the rest of the grounds were nice.

Room was very clean, there was a hot water problem, however, the staff was kind and responsive. A brand new coffee-maker didn't work but they rushed another one to us. The accommodation for canines is very good! You have to learn to read their outdoor dog regulations signs in the dark however.(LOL). Will come again, soon.

I am an elderly person and was given a second floor room with a tiny shower in which I could not bend down. I should have been given a room on the first floor with a regular size shower and tub combo. I have stayed at this motel numerous times. I should have had consideration for my age and physical ability to walk up a flight of stairs.

After reading the positive reviews I was expecting a decent (not great) stay. Unfortunately that was not the case at least not in our room 209. The room appeared clean visually, however the room had a thick smell of (for lack of better words stale, dirty, as well as lingering old cigarette smoke). Our clothes reeked after. We requested extra pillows for the room and the person at the front desk gave us pillows that were significantly stained and said they did not have any pillow cases. There were no clean towels brought during our stay.

The hotel is ran down, rooms had stained sheets and was not clean, especially the shower. You can hear everything going on outside, the gap between the front door and outside doesn’t help. The window did not lock so it didn’t feel. The prices are good but next time will pay a little more for clean and safe feeling.

The place was clean and staff was friendly - but the picture on my Expedia 'traveler's details' email was NOT the place we stayed! Please see your email w/ motel 6 picture that was sent to me!!!

This place was exceedingly low-end, noisy, & room was exceptionally tiny. Note: Had to turn a/c off as it got incredibly loud in the middle of the night.

Have no clue how anyone could rate this an 8.2 - which is what I went by when booking

A/C functioned properly and the remodeled room was a nice up grade. Hard tile floor and base boards with new Vanity, Shower and Toilet in the bath was nice. Plank flooring, new lighted headbord, platform bed with semifirm mattress slept well. Key card access made me feel secure. For the price point this Motel 6 was worth the stop.

The bed was pretty comfortable, a little softer than I would expect to find in a budget hotel, and the room smelled nice and was clean.
The new modular shower felt a little cramped and it was difficult to keep water from splashing on the floor.

After checking in, I was given a room with a very dirty or stained blanket. I took photos and brought them to the office. The staff did not apologize, but did assign me a different room. The blanket in the second room was marginally better, so I stayed. The room had a strong chemical smell, but other than the blanket was clean, and the area was very quiet at night. I slept well.
