I recently stayed at the Motel 6 in Norway, MI and would call it “just okay.” The biggest plus was that they don’t charge an extra fee for dogs, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the designated dog room I was given needed a lot more attention. The bed skirting had visible pet stains, and the floor still had that telltale “pre-vacuum dust.” The overall scent of the room — combined with lingering pet odors — made my nose so stuffed up I could hardly breathe.
When I mentioned it at the desk, the attendant was polite and apologetic, but instead of moving me to another room, she simply suggested I use the bed that “didn’t have pee on it.” My request for a different room was kindly refused, which was disappointing since I had just checked in.
The pool and hot tub were technically open and “clean-ish,” but the water in the hot tub looked cloudy enough that I decided to skip it.
Overall, you get what you pay for here. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. With a little more effort in cleaning and upkeep, this Motel 6 could be much better. As it stands, I’d stay again only if there were no other budget-friendly options in the area. Otherwise, it might be worth checking Escanaba or nearby alternatives.
