Cons:

It is the loudest motel I have ever stayed at. As a woman traveling alone, I don't feel safe there, but have little choice as it often the only place open in Kewanee.

Great motel. I will recommend to anyone driving to Chicago but will caution them to pay directly
Pros:

Everything was great. The managers have been extremely helpful in working with me to correct Corporate's unexplained double billing (see below)

Cons:

I was billed a 2nd time for the room over a month later without any explanation or contact with me. This was not the fault of Kewanee's Motel 6 and was a surprise to me. Ive spent *literally* over 3 1/2 *years* in Motel 6s but this incident is making me cautious of staying there again. No reflection on Kewanee! The fault is Corporate's which is currently being investigated by my bank.

It was good and I will stay again.
Pros:

Didn't have a Breakfast

Cons:

I booked the room through Booking.com. When I arrived the person at the desk told me they cancelled my reservation two days prior even though I got a email confirmation about my reservation.
