I had a great stay. Room was clean, elevator works. The room smelled a bit like smoke, but that was probably the earlier guests. The check out process was a bit confusing, just a box at the front desk for you to put your card keys into. Otherwise, loved it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Surprise at a Budget Price After a long day on the road through endless highway construction, checking into this Motel 6 in Walton, KY was a welcome relief. Forrest at the front desk was friendly, helpful, and made the check-in process fast and easy — something that truly matters when you’re road-weary. The room itself was a pleasant surprise: spacious, spotless, and well-appointed, including a refrigerator — all at an incredibly low price point. Tomorrow I’ll be staying in Cincinnati for triple the cost, and I doubt it’ll compare. The only downside was being jolted awake at 5am by another guest’s alarm that sounded like a fire siren — not the motel’s fault, but worth noting for light sleepers. Overall, this place punches well above its weight. Hats off to the staff for delivering real value. Would absolutely stay here again.

I would like to say this is the second time I’ve stayed in a motel 6 once in Ohio and now in Walton. They are clean rooms, very spacious, the bed was a king size, very firm, pillows were great and comfortable. I love no carpets too! Clean floors!!!! We took a shower my only issue here is invest in bigger towels they are rather small the body towels are too tiny. Along with shampoo and conditioner, usually this is an essential. I do not carry with me because it’s offered at every hotel. We cancelled our hotel last night in Nashville after our World cup Soccer game and drove straight to Cincinnati to catch our game here. The reason of staying here at Motel 6 which is right off the highway so for sleeping we slept well out like a light. Two gas stations near by one across from each other so if you forget something head there both walking distance if you do not want to drive. Staff person at night very friendly employee along with the morning crew. The price point $50 is great as well.

We've stayed here several times and it's always super clean and fairly quiet. The king sized rooms are massive and the beds are super comfortable. Friendly staff. Prices are usually lower than most.

Motel 6 was great for us. The right location for what we planned to visit while on vacation. We stayed 5 nights and everyday we got to visit all the attractions.it seemed we were right in the center of everything..

Back in December 2023, we stayed here when our moving truck broke down and was being repaired. The staff were surprisingly helpful. The laundry machines were coin-operated, so I asked the front desk to exchange for quarters. They were extremely helpful. The lobby was nice and clean and relaxing to wait for my clothes to wash. There was even a burger king, which meant meals were easy to get. The room is very nice and clean. The beds were a bit on the firm side, but there were no bed bugs. The toilet, however, was broken but easily fixed. The shower and sink had good water pressure. The air conditioner worked wonders and made sleep very easy. Overall, this place was a very nice stay. I recommend a stop here for the night if you are on a budget. Despite the bad rap that motel 6 has, this place is totally worth it.

I'll stay here again. Convenient location just south of Cincinnati. Typical motel 6 room. Clean. Affordable. Minor issues in the room from wear and tear. ONE BIG ISSUE: the deadbolt and security locks on our door did not work properly. Obvious signs of abuse on the door jam that prevented the deadbolt from engaging without a lot of effort. The latch on the security lock (think chain) was broken and did not work at all. Making guests feel safe is critical. These door locks didn't cut it. We stayed in what was obviously a pet room. We have a dog. The arms on the chair had damage. We didn't care. We don't use the chair. We slept well. Had Dominos pizza for dinner. It's in the parking lot so it's hot and convenient. A few issues, but we will stay here again after checking the locks before we bring our stuff in. AC was cold. Mini fridge worked. Affordable lodging on a two day trip.
