I traveled from IL, through the high western states of South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, so 3,000 miles staying at Motel 6 franchises before finding this one. EUREKA! I found THE BEST Motel 6 location in EUREKA, CA! It may sound like a corny pun, but before getting here, I stayed in VERY BAD rooms with towel rods broken and laying on the floor, the inside panel peeled off the bathroom door AND no ice machine, no WiFi working even though advertised. And all of these problems were at just one location! I found the standard is VERY LOW at most Motel 6 franchises. How refreshing to walk in the room here, in EUREKA! It is very clean, AND very updated! I mean to say the room is an upgrade from the surfaces and fixtures I have at home. Bedside tables have multiple ports built in for electric outlets and USB ports, two of each (four) on ever table. The desk area accommodates computer cords with cord accommodating inserts. Mirrors are well framed and are beveled, nice updated flooring, even the walls have a nice fresh pebbled surface with contemporary paint scheme. And the bathroom, WOW! A very upscale full-sized bathtub with shower and upscale shower head.) All furniture is a nice dark finish and open concept so you can easily see where things are and access them. When you stay multiple nights, housekeeping stops in, to empty garbage, reset towels and refresh toiletries. That attention to detail I NEVER experienced at any location! Maybe I saved the best for last, there is a tall mini fridge AND a microwave in the room!! The microwave holds the correct time, a REAL help when you've traveled through multiple time zones. I immediately went back to the office to express how WONDERFUL the room was! They mentioned that the owners are local. I think the improvements will continue because there looked to be extensive remodeling of more rooms going on. It appeared that they are significantly increasing handicapped rooms. In all honesty, the outside of the building and parking lot could use updating, but this location is definitely focusing on the elements travelers would appreciate most! If bookings increase, they can likely update the exterior. In all fairness, I did not stay in another motel in Eureka for comparison. Other motels may be this attentive to travelers, but honestly, if you know how good the accommodations are here, why even stop at other places in the area? One last point I just recalled, at first check in, people were fighting in the room next to me, loud voices, vulgar language. I mentioned this to the lobby attendant when I complemented the room, and he immediately called the occupants. By the time I went back to the room, all was quiet!
