Room was clean. It said free coffee in lobby from 6am - 10am there was no coffee.two small pillows on the beds nothing in the rooms to tell what channels were for the TV and nothing in the rooms at all for places to go things to do or places to eat..no shampoo in the bathrooms will not go back there again
Room wasnt bad for a weekend stay. Only 2 pillows and the ice machine wasnt sticked. No shampoo in the room and the wifi was spotty and the tv froze sometimes. And it took a while for the front desk to get there to check us in, and noone was there to check out close to check out time. Housekeeping was nice and front desk was nice too.
Staff were great and the place was clean, but that’s where the positive review ends. It’s clear no maintenance had been done in decades. There were holes in the wall, the tub was torn up, the HVAC unit was broken, there were multiple unidentified stains, etc. I don’t expect much out a $55 room, but I definitely expect more than this.

Good value stay
The room was pretty clean, microwave and fridge were kind of not clean. Was overall a good experience for value. Friendly staff. Pet friendly hotel, we stayed with our pet. Quiet guests.
Easy check in. I was never bothered. It was actually clean, kind of a rarity now. I would definitely stay here again!

Not bad for short stay and price
Customer service was great. Front desk person greeted me and got me checked in ASAP.
Only downside of the stay was the following,
Outlet in bathroom did not work so I couldn’t plug in my curling iron to do my hair. I had to take it to the nearest area with a working outlet and use my reflection on the microwave as a mirror
I frequently choose Motel 6 when traveling with my pet: they are generally a good value for just a quick overnight stay. The Motel 6 in Marshalltown was the first Motel 6 I’ve patronized to require a cash fee for my pet beyond a deposit. No one was at the front desk when I arrived or dropped by to check out—just a number to call. After a wait of not a few minutes, a young lady arrived to check us in. She was nice and tried to be helpful, but someone had to walk her through the check-in process over the phone. If I’m going to pay extra for my pet, I will choose another hotel that provides amenities and front desk service next time I visit Marshalltown. The room itself was fine, though the beds were less comfortable than most.
All hotels in town were booked, this one was the ONLY hotel available. Staff was nice, friendly, and check in was smooth. There were multiple ruffians about, so we brought everything of value inside. Opened the door to the room and my 6 year old remarks, "it smells." It did. Stains on the bed spread, AC was LOUD, only 1 full size towel, the rest of used literal hand towels. It was only $80 a night. Im sure it was a nice facility at some point, and underwent some updates a few years ago. But hasnt been well maintained since. Had it for two nights, but checked out early and stayed with my aunt since she had room. Expedia tried to get me a refund, but couldnt get a hold of the property manager so I couldnt get my money back.
The room is very clean and comfortable. I liked having two chairs at the table. The price was what attracted my attention. The AC was not as cold as i wanted. The shower worked good with hot water for me, but then in the morning it didn't work. The hotel is walking distance to Perkins restaurant.
Only positive thing I have to say is the a/c worked well. Beds were very thin and hard. You have to call the staff from an off-site location if you need to check-in or get extra towels. TV audio didn’t work. Rooms didn’t seem very clean. Stayed somewhere else our second night.
Unfortunately, this hotel was very unkept I saw several cockroaches during my three day day. I’d originally booked seven but only could handle three. The room smelled heavily of smoke and the floors were so dirty that every time I walked my shoes stuck to the floor. There was a thick grime residual by the refrigerator that was coated in hair. The only reason why I am giving it. A two star is because that there were very friendly and nice, but overall the hotel itself was not.
