Motel 6 Kokomo, IN

Husband and wife getaway night

I was on a solo road trip in March 2023 from my home in Michigan to Alabama and decided to spend a night at this Motel 6. When I was searching places in Kokomo to stay at, I decided to go with this Motel 6 because all I was doing, essentially, was sleeping and showering. I didn't need anything fancy and didn't need to spend a lot on the room. I arrived around 10 p.m. on a Tuesday night. My check-in process was okay, but I had to check in using the window in the vestibule rather than the full lobby (even though I thought I had arrived before the lobby was locked for the night). The woman checking me in was friendly, but she admitted that she was a newer employee and was not fully confident in all the check-in procedures. After a few minutes, though, she got me checked in okay. I was pleasantly surprised that this Motel 6 had interior hallways, but the property just had a creepy vibe to it. The interior hallway had an unpleasant smell and the place just seemed run-down in general. (They say you get what you pay for, and that was definitely the case here.) The room was clean enough but not great, but the one thing I was pleased with was how large the room was. I didn't feel claustrophobic like I've felt in Motel 6 rooms in the past... so that was good. Also, I slept okay for the night... so I can't complain about that. In the morning after I showered, I just wanted to leave... so I checked out and was gone by 6:30 a.m.
