Not good. Able to sleep. However there was some kind of sticky substance on the wall which we found in am before we left. We wiped it down. There was also some sticky substance in shower we wiped down before showering in am. 2 towels 1 wash cloth for 2 people.

Just the basics, no frills, didn't even have soap in the room.

Was a basic one night motel feeling. Nothing to brag about. Very small room but a good tx. Needs new mattresses
- 4/5
Pretty clean pretty nice, could keep an eye on my vehicle 2 people to a room did not have enough pillows , or towels. Asked a couple of times , no extra towels or pillows were ever brought up , finally they just told me they didn't have any more pillows
- 2/5
The place was in shabby condition. And beds were terrible. I would not stay again.
- 2/5
The staff was excellent but the rest of the stay was a definite dud. Way better hotels in the same area
- 2/5
Cobwebs in the corners. Dust everywhere. The whole place smelled like someone was getting high at a crawfish boil. The elevator acts like the cables are about to snap and plummet you to your death. One tiny, flat pillow per person with no extras available. One towel per person no extras available. Mattress looked like a horse gave birth on it.
- 2/5
Don’t have enough towels for us. For 3 people we got one towel and an “oh well, housekeeping was supposed to take care of that”. The hallway smelled like garbage. The staircases smelled like dog crap and old food.
- 3.5/5
The elevator was way scary. They had to reset it.
- 4/5
Easy access, had what we needed for sleeping which is all we wanted. Bed was a little soft. Seemed old.

Manager tried to change me $30 for a 1 hour early check in. I waited till 3 to check in. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

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.

The staff were absolutely 10/10, the fridge had something growing in it and the sheets we’re supposed to be white I think. It was a safe location for a cheap nightly fare!

Location No closet space. No microwave/refrigerator in the room.

Room was quiet. Bed was lacking in support, pillows lumpy...
- 4/5
Not the best motel in Joliet, but not the worst either. This isn't even the worst Motel 6 in Joliet, so there's that.
- 3/5
The front girls were the best. First floor pets, third smokers so if you are on second you are sandwiched between the two. Isn’t a good hotel for me.
- 2/5
The staff was very nice. The hotel itself is very run down. Needs new carpet (it's disgusting), the elevator smells strongly of urine, the bed was extremely broken down and lumpy. There were multiple burn holes in the blanket.

At least the sheets were clean It looks like when I first walked in it looked like an institution lady was behind a glass wall get to my room the bathroom is dirty the room smells like armpit you could hear the dogs barking that from the people across the hall all night sound like there was a cat going up and down the halls in the middle of the night scratching at the doors and meowing people were in and out of their rooms continuously all night long talking really loud I was right beside the elevator so every time someone would come in I don't feel like it wasn't a normal hotel like people were in and out of it all night long non-stop really loud you could hear through the walls I barely slept all night terrible experience definitely not worth a dime been better off sleeping in my car

I was very surprised we needed good value for our buck and found it here. It’s actually the best Motel 6 I’ve ever been to I asked if there was a pool when I got there. It was clean the staff was on point and it was really quite no loitering or riff raff. When I’m in the area this will be my go to everytime.

The AC did not work as well as the set temperature
- 4/5
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.
- 1/5
Definitely not worth the $ even "just" to sleep.

Was alright for the price

The property, rooms, cleanliness were fine. The staff was great. I only have one complaint - the smell of pot/weed in the entrance, halls, and in my room. If smoking cigarettes is not allowed... why not manage this also?

One my bed had hair and crumbs in it. I was on the 3rd floor and the window opened a little with no screen or bars. My air conditioner was set at 50 degrees and my room stayed at 80 degrees. The halls smelt like cigarettes and rotten ass. The trash in the stairs way was over filled and trash sitting on the floors. Said there was a microwave and fridge only had a fridge. And the elevator was terrifying to go on and smelt horrible. Rather of slept in my car.

It was decent... Good area

The elevator still smells like urine, probably from one of the many e centric travelers that accommodate the hotel. They don’t serve breakfast either and ice machine is only in the lobby.
- 2/5
Sticky floor. Bathroom wasnt cleaned and bed looked as if someone slept in it and they just rented it out afterwards
- 3/5
Don’t expect anything extra like breakfast, a pool or anything like that. They need to clean their elevator asap.
- 5/5
Night check in person not as personable as the morning person but still professional. Bed a little stiff and bottom sheet not fitted so it rolled up under me during the night but I slept very well. And only 2 pillows on each double bed, would have like another one. Definitely recommend staying here.

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.
- 3/5
Well, it's a Motel 6. I was surprised that I actually slept well there. Of course, it was bare bones. I don't even think there was shampoo. I was a little nervous that the clientele might not be the best( it wasn't)., but I did get a good night's sleep and nobody bothered me. The staff is nice.
- 3/5
My only complaint is the price. It's very basic, but it's fine. It was all I could get at the last minute. For $110, I recommend you shop around, you might find something nicer. If you reserve in a timely manner.
- 4/5
The costumer service especially at check out were great. The room was nice and seemed very clean. The only real negative is that the hallways smelt in my opinion very gross. And the secured side door that you needed a key card to access the building did not lock so anyone could access the building that didn’t belong and the staff wouldn’t know at least right away
- 3/5
The room was nice, but the mattress could have been more firm, since it felt like I was sinking in. On top of that, for a room that is non smoking, it sure did smell like a big huff of cigarettes.

The whole room was smelly. Bathroom floors had hair from the mop in the corners. The air vents were filthy. Overall would not recommend you stay here unless you like a smelly dirty room.
- 5/5
Adequate for my needs.
- 2/5
This place might be beyond redeemable. There are no pictures to capture the smell. Poignant, pungent and putrid. Extremely unkept. DO NOT STAY HERE! Motel 6 "may leave the light on for you", but somebody should be unscrewing the bulb at this location.

The lobby area had a terrible smell. There was a person in the stairwell doing drugs. The walls were paper thin and the people next door were very loud. We did not check in until almost 2am.

Cheap room for the night, has everything you need.
- 3/5
definitely a last resort place. Missing even simple essentials: no coffee maker in room, no shampoo in room, only two sad lumpy pillows. The bed creaked. The elevator has a weird smell everything is clearly very old and poorly cared for. If I'd had any other option I would've taken it.

There was no remote for the TV and the phone didn't work. Daughter and had to get down on our hands and knees to clean the floor. We had children with us 1 disabled so cleaning the room thuraly was a must. We shouldnt have had to do that. Kids had to use a tablet to watch tv on.
- 4/5
Besides that issue there was no remote for the TV I requested one twice but did not receive one. Its a good thing I had my tablet for my 3 year old disabled grandson to watch disney. Lastly the phone in the room did not work. This is a safty hazard if somthing was wrong and the occupant didnt have a cell phone.

Motel is in excellent location, near multiple restaurants. No towels when checked in, had to request them. Top of shelf (at my eye level) was dirty and covered with debris. Towel bar fell off wall when I put towel on it. No sound proofing, hear noise and music from adjacent rooms.

When we arrived to this "No Smoking" motel, it was curious that we were smelling cigarette smoke. When we entered our "Non Smoking" room, it was curious that we still smelled cigarette smoke. We then found a full cigarette and some ashes on our windowsill, hidden only by a closed curtain. Which leads to my next complaint about the lack of care, or perhaps the complete lack of cleaning. There were specks of dirt on the floor, a spider had made its home on the ceiling, the toilet seat looked unclean, and the paint job was abysmal with many paint blotches along the floor. Some other things include hair in the sink that was NOT ours, and a childs dinosaur toy in the bathroom. Overall, greatly dissappointed. I would not recommended staying here if you care about having a clean space.

- 1/5
My room reeked of cigarette smoke, which badly irritated my lungs and caused me breathing difficulty throughout my stay. Other guests were also super rude, carrying on speaking loudly at 11 pm and allowing babies to scream bloody murder at 2 am, causing me to have a terrible sleep quality. Very disappointed this stay compated to the last.

It was lacking any amenities…very basic rooms, no hair dryer, no alarm clock, no refrigerator. The floors in the room were very dirty & our feet were dirty after walking on them. The towels had hair stuck on them. I didnt feel safe being a women with daughters staying there. The area was very nice but the motel didn’t feel safe. They had human trafficking signs on the wall & the checkin counter closed and then the person was behind a bulletproof window at night. This will be my 1 and only time staying at a Motel 6
