Motel 6-South Haven, KS

Wellington

This motel is in a very convenient place for us, the midpoint of our trip from home to or from Denver, and we stay here somewhat regularly.

It's a Motel 6, which usually means fairly basic accomodations, but it's always very clean, everything works, and the owner and staff, which I believe is mostly family, are invariably friendly and helpful. 

If there's a negative for me, it's that the beds are quite firm. I know some prefer that, but a bit softer mattress would suit me better. Beyond that, there are no restaurants or other services besides a fuel station at this exit, and Motel 6 locations do not usually offer breakfast, so be aware of that.

A clean, pleasant, and dependable overnight stop.

Clean room, super friendly staff, priced right, what more can you ask for? 

I actually created an account just to leave this review. I don't normally bother. But I feel some of the other reviews are misleading and that isn't fair to this place. If I'm being honest, I wish MORE hotels were like this one. I'm old enough to remember when finding places like this wasn't that rare.

I think alot of other folks are expecting something that this hotel isn't. This isn't a resort, with a pool & weightroom, restaurant, etc. It's not fancy. It is in the middle of nowhere. What it is, however is clean, affordable and staffed by people who actually care about their customers.

Great little travel hotel

It was like a scene from the commercial..."Help!  I Have a flat tiiiiirrrrre!"  For 30 miles we hobbled along just trying to make it to the 24 hour shop arriving at 1 AM only to be told that the tire was not repairable and a tow wasn't available until morning.  Our ONLY option, Motel 6.   Check in was fast and easy...and only $60 for the three of us...our expectations we incredibly low, apprehension was incredibly high at this price point.  When we arrived at our room, Room 111, it was white glove clean.  Not a spec on the floor, beds made with clean sheets and bedding, and the surfaces of the room must have been freshly dusted.  Nope, we did not sleep on Temperpedic ultra loft adjustable bed, but it was sufficient for a one night stay.  And yes, there were the usual 240 grit towels that you'd expect, but they were bright white and clean.  You will need to bring your own shampoo and there is no hair dryer, unless you turn up the window heating unit and bend over (yes, I did that!), but for the price, in the middle of no where, with few other options available, you really can't go wrong.  On a side note, there is nothing to eat anywhere near this location other than a quickie mart/gas station, so come on a full belly or be prepared to eat craptastic, pre-packaged offerings from the gas station.

Motel 6---Surprisingly better than expected

Mattresses weren’t comfortable, & room was in need of repair, cracked walls, tub surround patched. Room surfaces appeared to be cleaned though,  linoleum floors which in my opinion are easier to clean.  For $60 I guess you can’t expect much but..never again

Not a good value

Nothing fancy but entirely adequate.  For literally the middle of nowhere, it was better than expected.  I had even debated driving back to Arkansas City but opted to stay after checking things out. Dean at the front desk was cheerful, helpful & welcoming and seemed genuinely appreciative of our business.  Room #103 was a single w/fridge & flat screen TV.  Lots of channels to choose from and, more importantly to me, enough wifi to check weather & routing for the rest of my trip.  It wasn't "white glove" clean but my bedding was OK (I always pull the bedspreads off) and the towels were typical M6 (ie thin & rather of the exfoliant variety) but again, clean and bright white.  Microwave down the hall in the lobby area. Both exterior and interior doors made it easy to load luggage from the truck and convenient to trot down the hall to use the microwave. The price was right and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again but ask to see your room first if you have any doubts.

Pleasantly Surprized :-)

I was hopeful when I read that the Motel 6 at the South Haven exit had been re-modeled, but I was disappointed with service.  Shortly after checking in, I noticed a black bug on the bed.  After pulling the bedspread back, I notice some weird stains on the sheets and a hair.  I asked the front desk to change the sheets and mentioned the bug on the bed.  When I returned back to the room, after several hours, the bed had been  re-made, but I noticed that it had the same sheet, and it had been turned around.  I guess they were hoping that I hadn't noticed.  There was also a large hole in the shower that I had plugged with a wash cloth and when I returned, the ceiling tile in the bathroom had been moved.  It appeared that someone may have been trying to peep into shower.

In addition, the sink didn't drain and there was no way to lift the stopper.  The management had to use a screwdriver. 

Yes, the room was cheap, but obviously, there was a reason for that.  Don't stay here, especially if you have women with you.  There's something weird going on here.

Bugs, stained sheets, and Peeping Tom

We found the hotel & decided to stop since we have been driving from Texas. We arrived @ 0230 am & it was very nice good price good room very nice people. The bed was we great great shower & water pressure. Will be staying again

Clean and friendly hotel.  it's an older hotel that has been redone.  Everything was great.  The internet was good!  The nice lady who was on the desk helped me with a small issue and everything good.  

The location of this hotel is not great.  The only food close by is a Mini mart accross the parking lot.  IF you have to go anywhere, the closest food is 15 to 20 miles away.  Be for warned.  I'm a camper.  I know how to deal with situations like this and keep a "Kit" in my car.  

I liked the hotel.  I liked where it was.  I liked the internet.  3 out of 4 ain't bad!

I recommend the place.  But bring your food!  PS, Microwave and fridge provided in the room.

I would stay here again.

No Frills - Clean - But no restaurants near by..  And it's under 50 dollars!

Stopped here on our way to Minneapolis, Minnesota from Houston, TX.  It was clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly.  They had free coffee in the morning, no breakfast...
 I would stay here again..
