Motel 6-Lodi, CA

I’ve stayed here a several times now. Don’t usually stay at hotels in the Motel 6 group. This place was a pleasant surprise so I stay here now when visiting family down in the valley. I like that it is set back from the main road and staff is super friendly and helpful. Also I have stayed here twice with my daughter who is in a wheelchair. Their rooms with the roll in shower are great for her.

The room was clean and large. I liked having a refrigerator and microwave for my meals. Also, the person who checked me in could see that I was traveling alone. I explained that I needed a downstairs room because my dog has joint issues. She put me in a room right behind the office where I felt secure rather than in the back by the freeway.

Comfortable bed, good shower, clean room, good air conditioner, and fridge, all shelves instead of drawers made it easier to pack and not leave anything behind. Plus, we used the workout room once and it worked well even though there's just a treadmill and an elliptical machine.

Motel 6 has a simple formula: location, availability, good price, nice people. The room was clean and the vinyl, hardwood-patterned flooring promotes cleanliness. The beds were comfortable. The shower clean with good pressure and hot water. I appreciated the microwave oven and refrigerator. I talked to others at our event who stayed at budget motels. They complained that their rooms were twice the price, dingy and sketchy. Motel 6 knew how to make us comfortable in their simplicity.

The location was off the street so that there was no traffic noise. The rooms were sparse but clean and sufficient for basically sleeping and showering. The staff were very accommodating.
