The room was very nice for the price. It came equipped with a two queen size beds that were very comfortable along with a nice view of the balloon parade.
If you need a pet friendly(no charge), no frills, inexpensive place to stay, this is it. Clean enough, bed comfy, nice bathroom.
Super friendly and helpful front desk gal.
Check in was quick, easy, hassle free. Staff was kind, friendly.

friendly staff, location EZ to find from hwy. nice mtn view, ample pkg, quaint room & microwave would improve stay vs having to use only microwave located across from front desk in lobby. low expedia rate & considering how good the motel is... gr8 deal!
The room and hotel were clean. The surrounding area felt safe and so did the hotel. It does have a lingering smell as if smoking used to be allowed there years ago. Lots of restaurants and fast food places less than 5 minutes away!
The location was perfect the balloon fiesta and all the restaurants and shopping were very close. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well maintained. The pool was open but we didn’t use it, it also looked great from our window. If I had to pick we missed the in room microwave and mini fridge. We loved our stay.
Thank you for maintaining the rooms daily, for bringing in clean and dry towels, for making sure everything was in place when I came back every night, and for keeping it simple!
We choose the Motel 6 for the pet policy , which is great, Staff were amazing , friendly and very helpful . The hotel is in major need of repairs and serious cleaning. Our room smelt disgusting , although the bed was very comfortable , very little else would make me stay there again. It aslo appeared that the motel may house transient people or act as a shelter . I cannot confirm that this is true , but the clientelle was very quiestionable .
Place was close to balloon festival. Room was clean however the appearance was dingy and appeared not well cared for. Did find a dead cockroach in our room. The staff did accommodate us with a early check in. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. Woke up at least twice each night with aching hips and back. I usually do not have this problem.
Stayed here for one night while on a road trip. I was pleasantly surprised, and was glad that I decided to check it out as I don't typically stay at Motel 6 properties. This one has interior corridors/entrances, reminiscent of late 2000s style roadside hotels (you know the kind). The gentleman at the front desk was efficient and courteous, and I had no issues to report during my stay. The room was clean, beds were comfy, and the air conditioning was cold. Pets are welcome at this property, and there is no additional fee for them to stay. The area is a bit on the rough side, though I didn't experience any problems. Conveniently located off the interstate with a few food options nearby.

This motel was pretty good for a basic motel on the freeway. The pool area was nice. The AC got the room very cool. Overall a good stay.
For what we paid per night during balloon fiesta our room wasn't great. Didn't even ask to switch room because they were completely booked according to the sign at front desk. Our room had history of major water issues and maybe current too because we had a constant dripping sink that had no water pressure and the toilet needed the handle giggled Everytime or it would constantly make a filling noise but the shower was fine. The floors in bathroom and bedroom were warped and chipped from water damage. The staff was very friendly and otherwise an ok place to stay if on a budget.

This is an older motel. It could use some remodeling and some renovations. The doors to the rooms are tight and extremely hard to open. It was a clean property for its age. The staff was friendly.
Check-in was smooth and quick, and the staff was kind and friendly. You get a great room for a low cost, and pets stay free! The room smelled clean, was very comfortable, and I got a full night's rest. Check-out was easy too. Highly recommend!
One thing I really like about Motel 6 is the fact that there are only 2 pillows in the queen-size beds. Having more seems so wasteful. One thing I didn’t care for is that housekeeping seems to come around knocking on doors before the 11 o’ clock checkout. I’d rather they wait until the room is emptied
Great location for balloon fiesta Park. Room was clean and staff was friendly. Nothing amazing, but great place to stay for the weekend.

The room was clean and the staff were great, but they might have washed the carpets in the hall recently, because that smell was awful when we first got there. I should have paid attention to the bed size. It was a full size. But it was the lack in basics that had me scrambling. There was no hair dryer or iron. Travelers need those. There were no dressers to put your clothes in either, but there was a little closet area. It’s the little things that make a stay comfortable.
The front desk ladies were rude and even after I've stayed here several times the last 2 months with my same 3 dogs and the lady who checked me in both times saw I had my fur babies with me which are not destructive or disruptive were all the sudden a issue and they advised me that I had to rid one of the property or I would be kicked out and not refunded.. I've always preferred this property and location because I felt safe here however the ladies made the stay so uncomfortable for me I didn't even feel comfortable even leaving my room
