Motel 6 Merrillville, IN

Repeat Stayer

Positiv: Not my first stay here. I didn't roam about the hotel, only went from room to car, so that's why I don't feel I experienced enough to give an excellent rating, but I will rate it next to excellent. The facility and rooms are clean, nice bright colorful & white bedding too, clean laminate floors, no dirty sticky carpet. Housekeeping lady cheerfully thanked me for staying as I departed. I stayed across the street once at some extremely cheap budget hotel or whatever and it was the nastiest - Anyway - long as this Motel 6 continues to provide quality accommodations I WILL ALWAYS STAY HERE WHEN I VISIT THE STATE.

Negativ: Only thing I will give a thumbs down on is that I had to walk my dirty towels to the front desk to exchange for clean towels. No EXTRA towels would be given. Lol.

Much cleaner than your typical Motel 6

Positiv: The room was likely completely renovated. The walls freshly painted, linoleum instead of carpeting (and thus, no lingering smells), new furniture, all new bathroom fixtures. All still in-line with what you would expect in Motel 6 (i.e. utilitarian), but all in working condition and clean. Water pressure in the shower was adequate (in contrast with some other reviews), and the tub drained quickly. The front-desk staff was great - efficient and inviting.

Negativ: I asked for a quiet room because I was going to bed early. I do think they gave me a room that had away from other rooms. I didn't hear much chatter outside my room. That being said, somewhere within hearing distance, one of the self closing doors was in use all night long. I heard that door banging and one person walking up and down the stairs until about 3 am.
