Motel 6 Omaha, NE - IAT West

We stayed here formone night for an early start onwards into Nebraska, booking the place for the location and the price (arriving late eveing and starting early the next day it seemed pointless spending very much at all). First impressions.... not great. I suppose you cant hold a hotel accountable for its guests, and one shouldnt judge books by covers, and if people look incredibly shady that doesnt mean they are shady (to cut a long story short the upper crust of society don't seem to be regular clients - quite the opposite). Lots of people carrying their own duvets around for some reason. The night manager (or whatever the term may be) didn't seem to be completley at the races either... hardly welcoming or reassuring. The upstairs corridor had an odd smell.... kind of a chemical smell trying very hard to mask an even worse smell of unknown origin.... so far so bad.... Got into the room quickly and locked ourselves in. The surprising thing was the room was OK. It was clean, hardly luxurious but not a fleapit either.... functional. Wifi worked really well, hot water was fine and the bed relativeley comfortable. Once in the room the hotel was absolutley fine ! Slept perfectly well. Morning we up and left - didnt bother with breakfast as much as the room was fine some of the weirder occupiers were ensconsed in the breakfast room. In daylight the area looked far less "dodgy" than at night. So a tough one to call - in retrospect it was ok.... I guess if you pay bottom dollar you cant expect the earth and we slept fine.

This review is based on other Motel 6 locations and not a review against other motels. This is an economy motel so the review is based on that. Clean updated room. Under $60 and our pup stayed free. No coffee in room but in lobby at 6 as promised. Plenty of parking for our trailer and we’ll lite, but…. Bad location, located in an area with commercial businesses all around. Right on the interstate but you had to drive 1/2 mile down a frontage road to reach it. Outside property was also pretty bad. Back side literally looked like a dump! Lower floor was closed for renovations so looks like they’re trying! Again, based on other Motel 6 locations this one gets a 3.
