Motel 6 Joplin, MO

"I’ve read the reviews and was holding off on staying there while stranded with a blown transmission. The customer service was very helpful in letting me park in a position as I had no reverse. I was traveling back from NH and only had gift certificates with minimal cash. I was allowed to pay cash with no deposit which was perfect for my situation. Upon hitting the interstate my transmission blew out completely but I knew where to go until my problem was resolved. All the hotel motels in the area advertised one price but after calling to reserve I found the prices were not as posted and I was rerouted to a third party which was out of state. Let’s be realistic, 45$ flat for a single queen bed is not going to be the Ritz so one cannot expect the rooms to be wonderfully accommodating. Just for others knowledge my room came with FREE internet, a mini fridge and microwave while other local establishments charged extra for each. For the up and on the road traveler it’s conveniently not far off the interstate and a place to sleep away the miles. I stayed 3 nights and paid 50$ for the weekend rates without hesitation. My room was clean and the maid service was helpful for the stay over needs. Out of everything the only one complaint I would have would be the lights over the bedding which rattle when an adjacent room slams the door. I used an easy remedy and banged on the wall and heard no more for the remainder of my stay."

"We booked this room for two nights for a wedding that we were attending. We also booked an additional room for my daughter and her friends for one night. The outward appearance is a slight bit scary(run down, kind of looks like you could pay by the hour), but the non smoking room we had was immaculate and nicely updated. The shower was hot, fridge clean and working, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, for the price, it was a good choice. The pool looked clean and if we had more time, we would have definitely used it. The motel is nicely located between a bunch of restaurants, and we walked to the sonic one night for dinner and also hit the ice cream place across the street."
