Served our purpose. Bare bones motel & very dated. There were cigarette holes in the bedspread & the sheets were too small for the bed. Asked for a new set & they handed them off. The new sheets barely fit the bed. Pillows were awful. The minifrig had not been defrosted in quite some time, so it couldn’t be used; ice buildup was ridiculous. No lid on toilet seat which completely grossed me out. Toilets are dirty & carry germs! Very few electrical outlets, so bring a strip if you are staying there to charge your devices. No blow dryer in the room.
Staff: the female staff was pleasant. The male staff, not so much. Me & my friend were flying in from 2 different parts of the country w/ horrendous weather in Chicago causing several flight delays for me & cancellations for my friend. Called motel to let them know we would be arriving in the early am hours. The “gentleman” I spoke with said if I wasn’t there by 3am, he would cancel the room! I explained our situation AGAIN (with some heat behind it), and only then did he assure me he would not cancel the reservation.
You could smell weed 24x7, despite signs everywhere that stated NO SMOKING. The staff lives at the motel and they have the 1st 3 rooms on the 1st floor. We were in 105 and the staff was noisy & kept us up all night. So inconsiderat
Plenty of marking, a/c worked fine, and there are plenty of good restaurants in the area. They had a bare bones coffee station in lobby with no tea options. WOULD NOT STAY HERE AGAIN!

There is a lot of long-term residents in this motel and many of them have dogs. If you're wanting to
go there just for sleep, beware that they have dogs and that they bark very late into the night. I called to the front desk to complain and I was told that quiet time doesn't start till ten pm... Again for the value and if you have your ear plugs and can handle noise, it is a good location to pick for a couple of nights.

The most bare bones, nothing special hotel I have ever stayed at. I stayed at several Motel 6 hotels before but this was the worst. The room had absolutely nothing in it. No tissues, no alarm clock, nothing at all. To top that off when I returned at the end of my day at around 6:00 PM, nobody had entered my room to clean. Bed not made, no fresh towels, all my used towels still on the floor. I was staying with an associate who had a different room. His room was the same. I went to the front desk to ask about it and they offered to bring me fresh towels. That they did but never offered to clean the room, make the bed, or remove my old towels. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Also, the hotel was pet friendly. There were many times when I was in my room and could hear multiple dogs barking and at time sounded like ripping someone apart.
Spend your hard earned money somewhere else! I won't be back.

We chose this hotel because we just needed a room for the night. We were attending a wedding near by and did not want to drive over an hour back home after the wedding. As we drove in the property looked clean well taken care of. The parking lot was clean no garbage. We walk in there are signs of no smoking near the property all over the doors, yet the moment we open the first lobby door the strong oder of smoke and mold hit you immediately. Check in was simple staff was professional. Our room was on the 3rd floor. The elevator was dark lit and smelled of pure mold. We got off the elevator the hallway was clean but again smelled strongly of mold and cigarettes and the carpets looked as if they had not been washed at all ever. We get to our room. 1 pillow per full size bed. And the air was on but again the room smelled of cigarettes, weed and mold and mixed in.
Given that we had our daughter with us. We left to the wedding and decided not to stay the night. We picked up our bags and chose to drive an hour 1/2 home back than stay. We will not be returning

The first room we were given had bugs crawling all over the floor and on the bathroom wall. The 2nd room only had one pillow and an extra pillowcase on the corner of the bed. When we went and asked for another pillow, we were told they didn’t have a pillow to give us because they were completely booked. The motel is very outdated, the hallway carpet was filthy.

Wasn’t the worst but wasn’t the best. Pillows are flat, may as well just go without one. You could hear people arguing with each other through the thin walls. The elevator needs servicing, you should never be shaking when riding an elevator. Amenities… zero. Price point should have been way lower for this type of slumming. Pictures on Expedia must have been taken day 1 of opening because they do NOT look this nice. Please lift up the mattress covers… gross

The room was fairly clean. A couple of cobwebs on the ceiling and the refrigerator freezer was full of frozen ice with something spilt all over. The microwave certainly needed a good cleaning also. The bed was comfortable, but there was a lot of noise throughout the night from doors closing. Staff was friendly. The only thing offered in the morning is coffee, which was pretty watered down.

We stayed 2 nights at the start of the hot rod power tour. Both nights were sold out do the hotel was very busy. Stairwells filled with trash are not air conditioned and stink of spoiled food and used baby diapers. Only one ice machine on the first floor. Elevator scary with significant drops When leaving each floor. Our room did not have bedbugs, but the floors were sticky and needed to be moped. Our double room came either two bath towels and two wash clothes only. No soap no shampoo, nothing. No fridge, no microwave in the room. Mattress and sheets stained with rust maybe? They did have coffee in the lobby each morning. The location was within walking distance of a large mall, restaurants, and a movie theater. The parking lot is in need of asphalt patches and litter pick up. An old laundry cart was upside down outside in the grass. The shower was dirty and o cleaned it and the rest of the bathroom myself. The AC worked and we slept well. But there was paint all over things that should not have paint on them like light switches, towel bars, and the sink. Needs a deep clean, maintenance, and an owner to show some pride in ownership of the property. The Hampton next door looked much nicer. If price is your main thing, it ok.

Well, being that there were definitely some shady (though polite) characters outside, the elevator smelled strongly of cigarettes, the room smelled of stale cigarette smoke masked by seeming gallons of pine sol freshly drizzled, the foam pillows were as brittle as if purchased from Kmart in 1996, and there appeared to be some sort of dried splatter (not unlike blood but not certainly the contents of a sauce packet) on one of the wall lampshades, I wasn't expecting to get much sleep.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Though the walls were thin and the mattress wasn't the most supportive- I was not tremendously disturbed by outside noise and the linens were indeed squeaky clean. It was a fine place to lay my head, and much finer than listening to my mother's snoring where the rest of my family stayed.

The hallway had feathers abd was vacuumed shortly after we checked in. The floors in our room were dirty-needed to be swept. Bed tilted to the head and only 2 flat pillows. At 1am people were fighting, slamming doors, yelling, and harming a dog. I've never called law enforcement while traveling. I called the sheriff's department to find out if they had been dispatched yet-only it was automated. I then called the front desk to ask what we were doing about it-we were on the first floor not far from the desk. The poor girl sounded terrified and told me police were on site...unfortunately it didn't get any quieter until 3am. We got in late from a concert and had to be up at 645, so we barely slept. I've had better night's sleep in my car-too bad we had my fiancee's truck or i would've.
Definitely not worth the $ even \"just\" to sleep.

This review is in relation to budget hotels, if you’re looking at this review, then I’m assuming you are already OK with budget hotels.

The room itself was fine. Recently renovated, clean, not a lot of amenities, but it’s as fine a place to lay your head down for a night as any. If you’re a solo male traveler, you will likely be fine with this hotel.

The area around the hotel is just ok. It’s not unsafe per se, but it is Joliet, which in and of itself is not a great area.

This is by no means the fault of the hotel, but on the night I was there, the hallways reeked of the smell of marijuana smoke. This hotel strikes me as a place that experiences this every weekend; but again, you’re in Joliet and this is unfortunately par for the course.

The staff is by no means friendly, but that comes with the area/clientele.

I would stay here again if it proves the most cost effective option for my trip, but I will also explore other options in the future.

Was in a connecting room and could hear whiney crying kids through the door of the next room pretty well, they eventually went to sleep long before we did though. Had to crank down thermostat to low 60s just to get something in the low 70s. Room was acceptablely clean but about what youd expect for a motel 6. Water pressure and shower were top notch. Had soap but no shampoo. Slow draining bathroom sink, gross. Fella at the service desk was friendly and quick. Cost was one of the most i've ever spent at a Motel 6 but we were in the chicagoland area and was one of the cheapest in its area compareably.
