Motel 6-Merrillville IN

Pleasant

Liked: The price is really about it. I was in search of the cheapest price and Motel 6 was it.
Disliked: The thing that got me was weird, and there are two stories to share. When I got there, I was told I had to pay a $50 deposit and it had to be cash only. I told the guy been the counter that I don't have cash and he said I can use the ATM machine and I told I don't do ATMs because I won't pay an ATM service fee. I need to save as much money as I possible can and anything unnecessary won't be considered. He ended up giving me the room without having to pay the deposit which I appreciate. Then, a friend of mine was also staying at the same hotel because we were doing an event. He ended up with the same situation I did and he said that he didn't have fifty dollars either so the guy behind the counter asked "How much you got?" When he replied he had forty dollars then the guy said he would take that. I don't know, it just seemed kind of shady all around.

Exceptional

Bugs

Liked: The staff was ok I mean some of them had attitudes but trust me I get so not too mad in that
Disliked: Roaches. I stayed in room 208 and there were roaches and I have an 11 month old and I was scared she was gonna have one crawling on her. I had one crawl across the bed and up my back while I was trying to sleep. It looked like they were coming out of the walls in the bathroom cause we saw like 5-6 during the stay. And they didn't have the pool open

Very good

Nah

Disliked: Do i need to explain

Very good

Enjoyed the stay ,pillows could...

Liked: Close to alot of stores
Disliked: Pillows were very hard Felt like sacks of potatoes

Cheap for a reason

Liked: The tv, microwave and refrigerator were nice.
Disliked: The bathroom and bathtub are not at all like the pictures. The tub is flaking and felt like you were standing on flimsy plastic. And there was hardly enough water pressure to even shower. There was still food in the microwave from the people before me and the mini coffee maker lid almost melted because the boiling water wouldn’t flow to brew the coffee. The floors were nasty, the towels still felt dirty and the bed was hard and lumpy. Doors were slamming all night and the key cards barely worked. Also one of the shelves on the wall was ready to fall because it looked like the screws were just pushed into the drywall.

Good
