NOT a motel 6 anymore, now owned by con man
Pros:

Stay away. This is not a motel 6 anymore, it's privately owned. The bad experience started when I arrived late at night to have the owner charge me 20 more per night than the rate he had cited over the phone. I called and booked before leaving on my trip to Montana and made sure the room had air conditioning and wi-fi. Both were problematic. The air conditioner, ,even on max setting, did not keep the room cool. we slept with no covers. The wi-fi, which I needed for work, kept cutting out so I resorted to using my phone's wifi hotspot feature.
NO coffee maker? what a cheap _______!!!
FREE BUGS though. had the lovely experience of a bug flying up my nose twice. They were swarming around the light outside the door and around all the lights inside. I looked inside the lamp shade to see what looked like food dried on the inside of the lamp shade.
Tub was dirty.
glad I brought my own toilet paper.
AND, not nearly enough parking. someone took the spot in front of my room, LUCKILY for us, my wife's handicap placard got us a parking spot at the end of the row, otherwise I don't know where we would have parked.
TO summarize, do not give this con man your money. There are other motels in Hamilton, stay there. I wish I had.

Pros:

This place is gross. AC hardly worked and the AC unit was very crudely placed in the wall with foam insulation. The smoke detector was hanging from the ceiling. Apparently the place is under new management and very understaffed, but still would not recommend staying here - especially with how much they are charging a night. We booked 2 nights and only stayed one, we found a different hotel for the second night in Hamilton.

Pros:

This place was the worst we have been in and a total rip off at $175 for one night. Conditions were dirty and extremly run down. No coffee maker. Mattresses shot. Should be delisted by all booking sites.

Pros:

Despite the dated facade/exterior, which needs some work, the rooms had been completely remodeled. Furniture, carpet, TV, fridge, amenities were all brand new. AC worked great. Mike, who runs the front desk was extremely helpful. For the budget-minded, I’d recommend it.

Pros:

Property was in transition between owners. Could have been "quaint" if attention to details was demonstrated. Rate was perhaps lowest in town, but it showed, as it was my wife felt uncomfortable. Items of concern in a first-floor room: secondary locking system missing (chain & slider), door jamb appeared to be repaired with wood putty, window air conditioner functioning, but noisy, rug was stained, empty soda bottle found under the bed, cable controller did not operate TV, no suitcase stand, no cleaning service provided but towels changed when requested.

Pros:

I rented 2 rooms for 2 nights. The first morning neither room had hot water. I informed the the front desk and they told me maintenance would fix that day. Woke up the next morning and did not have hot water for shower again. Neither room.
The first day both rooms only had 1/4 roll of toilet tissue and one room did have Kleenex in the dispenser. I had to go find the cleaning crew to ask for some.
Out the side door of the complex there was old couches and shelving units and stacks of garbage all over. The garbage cans in the complex were over full and spilling onto the ground. Filthy.
I can not believe Travelocity books rooms at this motel

Pros:

Tried to call all evening to tell we would be there at 7pm...no answer. got there at 7pm room was still dirty, no one at the desk had to go find her, she said she had no help and had lots of health problems, which I felt bad for her but she should not be working at a business like this...we looked in open door to rooms they looked dirty and hot....
