Motel 6 Wichita, KS — Hotel in Wichita

Janky. ||||That explains the entire experience here. ||||I came here on a long road trip. I originally went to the Kellogg East location, but they were full, and recommended I go here. ||||Firstly, driving from Kellogg East to here was odd. The exit (none of this is Motel 6's fault) drives you past the Motel, and then you have to loop around the highway. It is just odd. ||||The location is in a desolate, strip-mally area (as is common for airports--again, none of this is dinging the Motel), which could or could not be safe.||||Upon entering and checking in, I was greeted by a man behind bulletproof glass. He was on the phone for a good 10 minutes, so I waited and perused the 'exciting things to do in Witchita' pamphlets. (side-note: I have found that people in not-exciting places sure have a lot of these things) There were a lot of weird signs about deposits and extra charges and holds on cards (many employing the look-out-here-comes-an-S apostrophe, my pet peeve). ||||Eventually, I book my room. Communication was difficult through BULLETPROOF GLASS and only a little scoop for transference of cards or money. When I gave him my chip-enabled credit card, he had to unlock the door so I could punch in my PIN. ||||At this point, he made a crack about my appearance (O...K...) and it took another 10 minutes for him to make photo copies of my licence and a bunch of other really confusing stuff that I haven't had happen before at a Motel 6.||||I've been to sketchier Motel 6s (I'm looking at you Medford, OR), so didn't really understand why these 'security measures' were at DEFCON 5. I'm now chalking it up to sheer paranoia. ||||We looped around back to our room. Parked between a couple of dumpsters (they were doing construction of other rooms--work that started at 8am (mind you, we got there at 11:30pm). We were FORTUNATE enough that this didn't impact our stay. ||||But the janky signs in the yard (No Poo & pe), the construction debris in front of the garbage bins, random (poop-strewn?) doors near the stairwell contributed to a skeeziness that we felt. (by the way, that sign didn't work: there was a turd right off the path in the grass that I narrowly avoided: also, where the hell else are dogs supposed to go to: there is no other patch of grass in this concrete jungle? (we pick up our dog's poop with a poop bag like civilised dog owners))||||Again, janky.||||The room was typical of a Motel 6. Queen Bed. Orange wall. Weird rolled-towel holder thing made of particle board. In the bathroom, there was a metal towel holder--it had rust stains on the wall. There were some (blood?) stains on the bathroom wall. Otherwise, the room was fairly clean--no mites or bedbugs...no dust in the corners. ||||But I have to say, this was the least comfortable bed I had slept on. It was creaky, sagging in the middle, and a VERY poor quality sleep. ||||My partner was so skeezed out by the stay that I had to up my game the next time and move beyond Motel 6. Apparently, Days Inn has our loyalty at this point. ||||Sorry guys, you wrecked it for the whole chain. I probably won't be going back.Been a customer for 35 years, but... it's just too risky now. ||||And if I see a response that 'this isn't typical for Motel 6 standards' or whatever, I will laugh. Yeah. We know. That's why we're complaining. This is an ownership/management problem, not a...

I recently stayed at the Motel 6 on West Kellogg in Wichita, KS, and I have to say, I was genuinely impressed. I don’t usually leave reviews, but the experience I had here was definitely worth sharing. From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly, and the staff made sure I felt welcome and comfortable the entire time.

First off, the front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. They greeted me with a smile, answered all my questions, and made the check-in process quick and easy. You can tell they care about their guests and take pride in what they do. That personal touch really makes a difference when you’re traveling, especially if you’ve been on the road for a while.

The room itself was clean, quiet, and surprisingly spacious. The bed was comfortable, the linens were fresh, and the air conditioning worked like a charm—something I absolutely appreciated in Kansas weather. I also liked that the floors were laminate instead of carpet, which made the room feel cleaner and more modern. Everything I needed was there: a mini fridge, microwave, a decent-sized TV, and fast Wi-Fi. It’s the kind of simple, no-frills setup that just works—affordable without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.

One of the best parts about this location is the convenience. It’s right off the highway, so getting in and out of town is a breeze. There are a bunch of restaurants and stores nearby, which makes grabbing food or necessities super easy. Despite being close to all that, the area felt safe and quiet at night. I slept really well without any noise issues.

What stood out the most, though, was how well-maintained everything was. You can tell that the management here takes the time to keep the property in good shape. The grounds were clean, parking was easy, and I saw staff actively working to keep everything tidy.

Overall, this Motel 6 exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a solid, affordable place to stay in Wichita, this location on West Kellogg is a great choice. I’d definitely stay here again the next time I’m in town. Thanks to the whole team for making my visit...
