Little things that make all the difference: good water pressure; handheld shower nozzle; abundant towels/pillows/blankets/etc. Things to know before your visit: there is no traditional table (just a narrow bar with three barstools) and there are no light-blocking window coverings (some windows have linen-type shades...

"While the room was clean, the two mattresses were appalling, seriously worn, slanted, and very squeaky. The shade was broken and water oozed up from the bathroom floor. The bed was pushed up against the heater and the curtains came down just above… total fire hazard. Even the microwave carousel was broken.

Motel 6 Eureka, CA – Redwood Coast

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in an excellent location, and its rates are very competitive compared to other hotels in the area. It is right behind Costco, and a Walmart shopping center is just a three-minute drive away. Although the room isn't large, it is quite clean; overall, I’d give it three stars."
