There's a snack bar/deli on site. Public spaces have free WiFi. Motel 6 Merrillville, IN also features a vending machine and laundry facilities. Free self parking is available. A complete renovation of Motel 6 Merrillville, IN was completed in February 2022.
Being surprised by a 50.00 CASH deposit on check in when nothing was posted on the website was disturbing. I don't usually carry cash anymore and it was most inconvenient!
The room was ok, but the hallway was filthy and smelled of marijuana! Likewise the parking lot.
I will avoid it in the future.
The room was good size with king size bed, refrigerator and microwave. However we didn't take advantage of those because we arrived late and left early.
I feel the place could have been cleaner, smelled better, pillows weren't all lumpy, be nice to have an elevator to get to your room rather than having to do all that walking.
Upon check-in, the man at the front desk said I must pay a $50 desposit in cash only. I never have heard of that before and I rarely have cash on me. Then when I finally get to the room there was no remote at all for the tv. I asked for a remote only to find out the remote doesn't work at all for the tv. He did not know what else to do to help me or make it right. Then later noticed ants around the bed frame and a few other random bugs on the carpet. Absolute disappointing experience, even for the price.
After 2 room changes, both unsatisfactory. First room had water in fridge that may have been due to freezer defrosting and water on floor. The 2nd room had missing shelf sitting on top of fridge and could not close or lock door unless you played with it. Once we got the door to lock we couldn't get back into our room. Had to get manager again. They offered us a third room and we decided to go to another hotel. Manager was trying to be accommodating, but didn't feel safe there. This place needs a lot of TLC.
The bed was terrible like a board with two pillows on king mattress, The air didn't work, Had to keep getting keys scanned to work, our door did not lock properly, Absolutely no Internet at all it was too weak to even try and connect, TV didn't work, Had to complain about our keys and finally switched to a new room late during the night on our second day and gave us keys again that didnt work so we made 5 trips to office to get our keys scanned, office man did not care at all like we bothered his night with a hot room and no tv..
Was not very clean. The floor looked like it wasn't swept. There looked to be blood on the wall. Also our last night there we found a roach climbing on the door. The ceiling in the bathroom had mold all over.
