Motel 6-Minonk, IL

Hotel

A clean room, hot shower, comfortable bed very reasonable.

Only review so far is left by the owner. There is no bar as he claims, not romantic in any way and very run down looking. There is no hot water in the first floor washrooms and when I asked why they said corporate made them shut it off. I have never been to a motel with bullet proof glass at check in window.

Great Motel for Family and construction people, great weekly rate.

Ice Machine was broken. No Ice anywhere. Said repair was forthcoming. Uh huh. While traveling on a hot summer day, one wants some ice to put in their glass. Owner seemed quite non-committal about getting it fixed and didn't seem to really care. Still charged me full price for a room. Didn't even offer to give me a bag of ice. It's not like the hotel was full, there were I think 2 cars in the parking lot. Would it have been too difficult to give me a bag of ice? Really? Had to buy my own across the street. Have stayed at this hotel a few times prior, but things have really declined in the last few years. The restaurant across the way had good food and friendly people. Even then, I won't stay here again.

Friendly Staff and they support Military and Veterans. I wish I had a safe in my room. They do allow pets. Overall; I believe that you will get the best bang for your buck, if you're on a budget.

Beware of bedbugs… this motel 6 is terrible. Would give it five Negative stars if I could. The room and the hotel were filthy. Entered first room to find: Unmade beds, towels on floor, water standing in shower, A/C not working (83-degrees in room and hallways). Entire hotel was filthy: hallways smelled of dirty diapers and looked like they had not been vacuumed in a month. Elevator was not working, and the fire doors were propped open in the stairwells. I was only in that first room for the 2 minutes it took to determine it was unacceptable. I returned immediately to the front desk agent (an obese, unhelpful woman) who offered an alternate room which I grudgingly went to see. It was nearly as bad, and had visible BED BUGS in the window casement. I returned and informed the front desk woman that neither room was acceptable and I would not be staying there, and asked her to refund my credit card, which I had just given her 5 minutes ago upon check-in to pay for the first room and get the keys. She said that she was not allowed to; because once she took any form of payment she was not allowed to refund it. I left the hotel and immediately called the Motel 6 corporate reservation line from the parking lot, since I had made my reservation directly through them, and asked for a refund. "Brittany" in Ohio said they could not refund my payment since this was a FRANCHISE property (which they didn't mention when I made the reservation! ).

Reservation was made on internet, called ahead then arrived at 10:30pm. Offered confirmation # said he didn't need it, printed invoice and overcharged us by $15. Showed him the confirmation and he reworked the entire reservation. Took over 30 minutes to check in.

Our first night here was great. But a couple days later we were checked in by the owner. Not only did she overcharge us once she found out we were backpackers, but she intentionally gave us a busted room where no matter what we set the thermostat to, it never went below 80° and there was almost no water pressure in the shower. We were refused a different room, and she kept calling every hour starting at 7 am to remind us checkout is at 11. We hike several miles a day, and staying indoors is a rare occasion we get to enjoy once every few weeks. This motel provided no rest or comfort whatsoever.

I stay at this motel on a regular basis. I am a truck driver whose route puts me very close at the end of that particular run, so it is nice to spend the night in a comfortable, air conditioned room as to spending the night in a hot truck. The desk lady is always exceptionally friendly and very helpful.

If I could give no stars I would! DO NOT STAY HERE! Me and my girlfriends stayed here just for one night due to a snow storm (in March) and we experienced BED BUGS in our beds! After the front desk promised that they weren’t BED BUGS, they offered to change the sheets (which they did) while we went to the restaurant across the street and THE BED BUGS WERE STILL IN BOTH BEDS WHEN WE CAME BACK! Immediately we decided to leave and just get on the road we additionally demanded a refund which they declined. The staff and owner have poor customer service skills & they are VERY unprofessional and rude!

The front clerk originally had the wrong room for me, a 1 bed, although my online reservation was for 2 full beds. However, she charged me an additional 10$ for the person staying with me saying my reservation was for 1 person. How could she get my room wrong but know it was for 1 person? Why was I being charged extra for another person staying with me in a 2 bed motel room? Is there a limit to people per room? 2 people in a 2 bed seems pretty standard and no need for an extra charge.

Upon opening the entrance door, the stench of curry nearly stopped my breathing. Our room was dirty and stained from old food. No outlets in the bathroom. Hair on the sheets. Screens were ripped. Bedding was cheap. Refrigerator was so loud we unplugged it.

Heat did not work properly. Had it set on 78 and the room was still very cold. Bed was uncomfortable. Microwave and fridge were filthy. Small stained towels. Side entrance door wouldn't work with a key. Parking sucked. Next time I come through this area, I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

Very basic accomodations, but clean and comfortable. Very nice family runs the motel.

Decent place. Clean, friendly staff. Pillows and bed leave a bit to be desired though.

Clean and comfortable beds. Direct tv.

Is about what you expect for Motel 6. We just needed a room for the night. Was on business so wasn't a weekend getaway. It was bug-free. And staff was semi-helpful. Rooms very small. Sheets had a couple of tears on the top sheet. Wasn't bad enough for me to say anything. Was only there to sleep. Was also very inexpensive so can't complain much. So enter at your own risk. The building — both inside and out needs remodeling. Building just very tired.

I did not stay and glad that I didn't. Smelled weird very dirty and no one there. The night auditor wouldn't even take my corporate card so I drove another hour and found a really nice hotel at the same price. Don't bother stopping here and in my opinion this Motel 6 should be closed down.

When I stay here I always take my own tissue and hair dryer since they aren't furnished. This time they gave me a room with a sit down shower. Very nice!

I wish I would have found somewhere else. It looked pretty nice from the interstate. The sink was broken, the towels hurt my body to dry off, the fake bamboo flooring was squishy probably because they laid it over old carpet. There was supposed to be coffee at 7am, and the front desk wasn't even open at 7:15.

This hotel was so dirty. They must never wash the Duvets/ comforters on the bed. The 1st room I went into had more srains on the bed than I could count, urine on the toilet seat actually food and crumbs on the desk. The bed was made but it looked as if someone had just walked out of the room. The second room was not as filthy however the shower had hair all over the walls and the non smoking room had cigarette burns in the bed covers. There was puke on the floor in the stairwell. And the front desk closes at night. It's neXt to a Road Ranger truck stop for truck drivers there's plenty of parking. There are a few places to get food. But this hotel is Pretty much a stop only if you can't make it any farther.

Brought a group for an overnight stay on the way to Wisconsin. Rate was good, rooms were recently remodeled, house keeping left a little to be desired. For the price, it really was a fine deal.

One if the best motel 6 I have stayed at. Owner and staff are friendly and efficient. Room was very clean. Rates reasonable.

While we were there there was a storm and the water was rushing in the window so I got some sheets and towels to stop it up. No one showed up the next day to straighten up. I took all the wet linens down to the desk so we could have clean towels. I accidentally spilled instant coffee crystals by the microwave and I'm sorry about that. You have wonderful managers.

The room smelled weird and wasn't very clean. I mean I was expecting anything great, because it's a Motel 6 but still. I will say the person working the front desk was really nice though. Every time I walked past, she said hi and just seemed sincerely.

Surprise surprise, the place didn't take any discounts. Clerk did not even know what Wyndham means! Room was simple but nice, the bathroom was awful with small rough towels. There wasn't fresh water or coffee in the room and the staff wasnt very friendly, but in general my stay served it's purpose.

Cleaner than you would think… Was happy there was no carpet. Just fake wood floors. TV microwave and mini fridge. Actually very clean. Good food next door. Free Wi-Fi. Motel 6 must be upping their game.

Right next to the truck stop. Rooms were nice and remodeled. The rooms are laminate flooring and bathrooms were clean and socked well. People were nice.

The rooms where clean. The bed was a little low to the ground but it was alright. The shower SUCKED. Took a long time for hot water then the pressure was real low. But for the big picture worth the money. My stay was like 55 bucks.

Clean room. Cable TV. Good restaurant, woodys across the street. Even frig and microwave. What more could you ask at this price.

This was by far one of the dirtiest and WORST hotels that I have EVER been to… With dead flies on the window sill to rude staff I suggest that you go elsewhere. This place is nasty. When I stayed the power and heat went out TWICE — THEY DON'T HAVE A POWER GENERATOR FOR EMERGENCIES! I stayed in the winter when the power went out. This isn't worth your money. Please don't stay here.

This Motel 6 was as good as some 4-Star motels I've stayed in, especially for the price. The staff we're very friendly, professional and helpful in every way. The room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. I especially want to thank Jaya for a pleasurable stay. Steve Carlson.

Cheap and clean. We needed a very clean room as inexpensively as we could find it, and this motel delivered! The accommodations were Spartan, but that's okay when we rolled in after 9 p. M. And rolled out after taking showers in the morning. I would give it 5 stars if they served bear claws or some complimentary breakfast fare, but for the price, that was perhaps too much to ask.

We needed a pet friendly hotel and had a good experience at this motel. The staff was friendly and gave great service. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoor pool but it sure looked inviting. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Next door is a gas station, church, across the street is a subway open 24 hours. I felt safe taking the dogs out late at night. Free coffee in the morning.

Would definitely stay here again. Clean, quiet, basic room. Safe location; easy to get in and out.

The room was small but clean. The staff was nice and helpful. Facilities were very basic but sufficient. This hotel isn't fancy but for a quick stay I would recommend it.
