Motel 6

On a motorcycle journey around the states, I was hitting the twilight hour while travelling through Benson, and saw the Motel 6 sign from the freeway. Pulled in, inquired about a room, and checked in.
So first things first — you’re in Arizona. In the desert. So it’s HOT outside. And dusty. That said, this is a pretty clean property, tucked behind a Love’s truck stop. As such, it has a huge truck parking lot behind it. You’d think that would mean noise, but inside, it’s actually quiet.
As I said, it’s tucked behind a Love’s…which means it’s VERY convenient for picking up dinner. There’s a McD’s across the street, but it has a one star rating on Unilocal.Turns out there’s a reason for that… it kinda sucks (see my review for details). Stick with Love’s.
The rooms are clean, with a wide screen TV, typical Motel 6 bathroom setup, but… the room includes a fridge… NICE. And WiFi is also included (side note: this whole Motel 6 migration to charging for WiFi is just dumb. Truly).
So IF you’re in Benson, this is a good deal — worth the price.

After reading the reviews I am surprised by the negative reviews.
I have stayed at this hotel a number of times for what I call «extended» stay 3 – 7 days.
The staff has always been extremely good. Our reservations are always correct and room ready.
Motel 6 is not presented as a luxury hotel nor is it priced that way.
We bring our own toiletries and wipe our own asses.
The rooms are updated and clean everytime. The coffee in the morning is very good. For breakfast we have found a number of local resturants who serve a great breakfast.
The manager Johnny has been here for a number of years and seems to take pride in giving the best product he can.
This is my first choice when I am in the area.
If you expect the Waldorf … stay there… if a clean room at a fair price with good customer service is your want… Give this place the chance to show you what they got.

Having worked for a larger hotel chain for a better part of my adult life (15) years and staying in said hotel chain. I was pleasantly surprised how clean and comfortable this motel was. The room rate was great.

Very clean, friendly staff. Everyone is courteous and pretty quiet. Comfortable room, air conditioner works great, big bathroom with a large shower and tub, spacious counter. Beds are very comfortable. We were surprised how clean and kept up it was for the price. Definitely recommend!

Been in *far* worse for way more money.
Clean, quiet room, hot water, comfy beds. And our dog was no problem and no charge! They even put us in a handicap room (we were stiff and sore from long driving) near the outside stair exit to walk the dog if needed without the hassle of going thru the lobby. Friendly helpful staff got us parked with our trailer no problem.
Bathroom floor was a little dirty, but, we had a dog.
We really put them thru hoops, and they took it in stride, all smiles. We’ll stay there again, and again.

Excellent bargain for forty something bucks. No frills, no toiletetries but much nicer than Motel Six is normally. I did not expect any extras with that price anyway. They have free coffee in the lobby in the morning which is nice and you can walk to a few restaurants in the parking lot. The only negative is they need to clean the rooms and bathroom a bit better. Just because it is cheap does not mean it should be dirty.

This is by far is the best Motel 6 in several states. My rode trip took me from Georgia to California. I wanted to stay in Motel 6 because they do not charge for pets. After staying in very disappointing ones along the way, I was not expecting much when I checked in here. To my surprise this was the cleanest, well kept Motel 6. The rooms were larger and I felt safe here. The little old lady behind the counter was so sweet and friendly. I highly recommend this Motel 6, if you are in the area.

Inexpensive with semi parking BUT nothing other than mini soap bars. Asked front desk for complimentary travel toiletries (shampoo & deodorant) but they don’t do that there. Asked for tooth brush and toothpaste and the guy behind counter sold me some for $ 3. Asked for extra mini soaps and he charged me $ 1 for two more. Only coffee in morning no breakfast served. So its a room with tv and wifi but don’t expect anything more.

After a long drive I was ready to call it a night and I really had to go pee. I walked into the lobby and said, «I have a reservation but can I use your bathroom?»
The front desk guy said they didn’t have a restroom in the lobby. (Oh man, I don’t if I can hold it)
I made a reservation here ahead of time so my name was in the system. He gave me a key and said, «You’re in room ###. Go use the bathroom, then come back and we’ll get you checked in.»
I know that may not seem like a lot but, believe me, when you have to pee, it means the world.
Oh yeah, the rooms were nice too. There was a fridge!

Stayed here a few weeks ago during a leg of a long road trip. The room was clean and decent. It smelled weirdly of maple syrup, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The front desk staff were really friendly and helpful. They were very welcoming and accommodating. Definitely recommend if you’re just passing through and need a place to stay for a night or two.

I would consider this an average motel, nothing special about it. I could find something better for $ 41. They only had soap in the bathroom, no shampoo or conditioner. Immediately upon entering my room, I notice 3 dead bugs. I understand it’s summer in Arizona, but I stayed at another motel in Benson (which was only $ 25/​night) for 14 nights and only discovered 1 bug. I’m not going to say any names, but there is a better motel to stay at in Benson.

When I first came in, the lobby had an internet workstation, microwave, and seating area. Very nice for a Motel 6. The desk clerk Mark was super nice, and gave me a discount and didn’t charge the pet fee (and my German Shepherd is well behaved anyways).
The room is rather spartan, but I’m only here to sleep before I continue on my drive to San Antonio. If you’re looking for a good place to sleep, this is it, but if you’re looking for a spacious room, this one feels cramped, like a prison cell in a movie. But like the previous posters, it’s definitely clean.
Total cost came out to around $ 45 with taxes.

This has to be one of the cleanest, best Motel 6’s in the entire country!
After checking in to a seedy-​looking mom-​and-​pop motel in downtown Benson and finding bugs in my room, I immediately got a refund and drove back out of Benson to the Motel 6, and I was thrilled that I did!
Sometimes Motel 6’s are not the most upscale establishments, but this place speaks highly for the chain. The sheets, bedspreads, pillows, shower — everything in my room seemed brand new! The room also had a fridge and microwave, which is certainly not standard at many Motel 6’s.
Best part: the Motel 6 was a few dollars cheaper than the seedy-​looking mom-​and-​pop motel in Benson.

On a recent trip from Austin to San Francisco, I stopped at the Motel 6 in Benson one night.
The room was clean and comfortable. The price was right as it was inexpensive for just a place to sleep for 8 hours until I had to get up and start driving again.
The staff was friendly and quick and helpful.
The only think I’d say about this is that after I left and continued west down I-​10, the next city I ran into had a room for $ 29.99. You may want to check that out if you’re driving down the interstate.
