Cedar City's BEST Kept Secret: Motel 6 Review (You WON'T Believe This!)

Cedar City's BEST Kept Secret: Motel 6 Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - Seriously, It's Good?! 🤯

Okay, so I'm going to admit something. When I saw "Cedar City's BEST Kept Secret: Motel 6" flashing on my itinerary, I cringed. Motel 6? In Cedar City? My expectations were lower than the desert floor. But guess what? I’m here, I’ve survived – and… I’m actually kind of impressed. Let's dive headfirst into this unexpected oasis, shall we? And yes, I did take photos – but brace yourself, my photography skills are as budget as the room rate.

Accessibility & Comfort - Surprisingly Good!

Okay, first things first: Accessibility. I didn't specifically need it, but I checked. And guess what? They actually seem to get it. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, and elevator access? Yep. Considering this is Motel 6, that's a serious perk. If you're needing wheelchair access, definitely call and check specific room details, but the bones seem to be there.

Check-in/out [express] – check-in was fine.

Cleanliness and Safety – My Inner Germaphobe is (Mostly) Happy!

This is where I had MAJOR concerns. I’m not a clean freak, but I'm also not about to cuddle with a colony of dust bunnies. The good news is, they seem to be taking things seriously. Daily disinfection in common areas is a HUGE plus. I actually SAW staff wiping down railings and surfaces – a real win! Hand sanitizer stations were plentiful, and hey, they have CCTV in common areas and outside property – which made me feel a little safer walking around at night. There was even a fire extinguisher – a good sign that people cared enough to make it better.

Room Sanitization Opt-Out Available – I didn't get the chance to opt out but a good thing that they let you!

Room Sanitization Opt-Out Available – Didn't opt out, but good to know!

Rooms sanitized between stays – Yes

(SEO: Clean Hotels, Safe Hotels, Sanitized Rooms, Motel 6 Safety, Cedar City Hotels Hygiene)

The Room: A surprisingly pleasant surprise. No, really!

Okay, so I'm not expecting a marble jacuzzi tub. But I was pleasantly surprised. Air conditioning, check. Air Conditioning in Public Area check. Desk, check. Blackout curtains, HUGE check (hello, sleep!). Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, YES! (more on this later). Bathroom phone (I mean, why? But, hey, it's there.) And the bed? Surprisingly comfortable. It wasn’t a five-star cloud, but I slept well (which is really the point after a long drive). Extra long bed, I'm a tall guy and I fit! I was happy.

Ok, slight imperfections: the carpet wasn't the newest, but at least they didn't smell bad. The mirror was fine. Minor.

Internet Access, Ah, the Wi-Fi Saga…

This is where things get a little… interesting. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Amazing, right? Well… it’s free. And it works… mostly. I got my work done, no problem, but it’s not like streaming HD movies. Still, better than many pricier joints. Internet access – wireless is a win, and again, gets the job done.

Internet [LAN] – Didn't try this, so I'm not too sure.

(SEO: Free Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Review, Motel 6 Wi-Fi, Internet Access Cedar City)

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Don’t Expect Gourmet, But… Okay, let’s be real. It’s Motel 6. You’re not getting a Michelin-starred chef. There's no Asian cuisine in restaurant, no vegetarian restaurant, no poolside bar. No massage (which would have been nice!), no spa/sauna.

Breakfast [buffet] – sadly, because of Covid, it was a grab-and-go situation.

Breakfast takeaway service was a godsend.

Snack Bar No but a convenience store at the front desk made up for it.

(SEO: Motel 6 Food, Breakfast, Snack Bar)

Services and Conveniences – More Than You Think!

I was actually surprised at how much they offered. Daily housekeeping? Yes, even though the room wasn't exactly a disaster area. Cash withdrawal (at the front desk)? Check. Elevator (mentioned earlier). A convenience store for snacks and essentials. Laundry service (didn't use it, but good to know). This ain't a luxury resort, but they cover the basics and then some.

Staff trained in safety protocol – I can confirm from the interaction I had.

Contactless check in/out – Yes

(SEO: Motel 6 Services, Hotel Convenience, Cedar City Hotel Amenities)

Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Within the Motel 6 Realm)

Okay, so you're not exactly finding a spa or a sauna here. The swimming pool [outdoor] was open, but I didn’t hop in. If you're looking to chill at the hotel, it's a bit limited beyond the basics.

(SEO: Cedar City Activities, Hotel Relaxation, Budget Hotel Relaxation)

For the Kids (and the Kid in You)

Didn't see any of the kids facilities, but hey, it is family/child friendly.

(SEO: Family Hotels, Kid-Friendly Hotels, Cedar City with Kids)

The Quirks, The Imperfections, The… Charm?

Alright, let's be honest. Motel 6 is not a Four Seasons. The decor is… dated. The exterior corridors add a certain, shall we say, character. But that's part of the charm, right? You're not paying for fluff; you're paying for a clean, comfortable, and surprisingly functional place to lay your head after a day of exploring Cedar City.

The Unexpected Win – Value for Money!

Here's the bottom line: for the price, Motel 6 in Cedar City is a fantastic value. It's clean, the staff is friendly, and it offers more than you'd expect for the price point.

(SEO: Motel 6 Value, Budget Hotels, Affordable Cedar City Hotel)

My Final Verdict: Go For It!

If you're looking for an affordable, clean, and functional place to stay in Cedar City, seriously, give Motel 6 a shot. I came in with low expectations and left pleasantly surprised. It might not be a luxury experience, but it's a solid option that gets the job done. And hey, that free Wi-Fi is always a plus.

Now, the OFFER you've been waiting for…

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This is my potential Cedar City, UT, odyssey. Motel 6, you've been warned. And so have you, my dear reader. This is going to be less "polished itinerary" and more "disorganized journal entry."

Cedar City, UT: A Quest for the Crimson Cliffs (and Maybe Some Decent Coffee)

Day 1: Arrival (and Existential Dread at the Motel 6 Front Desk)

• 1:00 PM: ARRIVE. Finally. After that interminable drive across… well, a lot of nothing. The Utah desert, while undeniably scenic, is also a masterclass in monotony. I’m already questioning my life choices. First impressions of Motel 6… well, it's a Motel 6. The air conditioning is either full blast, or utterly, devastatingly off.
• 1:30 PM: Check-in. The guy behind the counter looked like he’d seen a ghost. Probably the ghost of every weary traveler who’s ever graced his counter. "Room 217," he mumbled, the number sounding both ominous and strangely comforting. Shivers. Does every Motel 6 have a Room 217? Is there a curse?
• 2:00 PM: Room tour. Alright, let's get this show on the road. The bed looks…functional. I'll be honest, I've slept in worse. Although, the last time I said that, I was backpacking in Nepal, and I think a goat slept next to me. This is an improvement. Carpet - questionably stained. Bathroom - well-lit. Keycard reader… seems to work! Score! (These victories are important, people.)
• 2:30 PM: Mission: Replenish. I need caffeine. DESPERATELY. Google Maps tells me there’s a Starbucks nearby. Hope. Faith. (And a very strong latte.)
• 3:00 PM: Starbucks Reconnaissance. The latte was lukewarm. The barista seemed more interested in their phone than my existential crisis. "Can I get a name for that order?" "Just put…Desperate," I said, wincing. "Okay… Desperate."
• 3:30 PM: Unpack. I'm a pack-light kind of traveler. My strategy? Overpack and pretend I didn't.
• 4:00 PM: Decide: Do I leave the room yet? The siren call of the bed is strong, but the promise of adventure (and, let's face it, a semi-decent dinner) compels me.
• 6:00 PM: Dinner. Research reveals Centro Woodfired Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen. Reviews are okay. Risk it for a biscuit, right? (Or, you know, pizza.)
• 7:30 PM: Pizza Feedback: The pizza was decent, but the conversation with the waitress about the weather was… the stuff of nightmares. Turns out, Cedar City's weather is always interesting. I now know more about precipitation patterns than I ever wanted to know.
• 8:30 PM: Mandatory Evening Walk. Stare at the sky. Try not to hyperventilate about the vastness of space. (Spoiler alert: I hyperventilated.)
• 9:30 PM: Back to the room. Channel-surf. Netflix. Try to sleep. Probably fail. Pray the ghost of… whatever haunts these Motel 6 rooms doesn't visit this weary, caffeine-deprived traveler.

Day 2: Canyon Fever and the Theatrical Arts (Maybe)

• 7:00 AM: Wake up. The sun tried to kill me (it was too bright). Coffee is a must. Immediately. If only it wasn't the coffee from Motel 6's vending machine. Prepare for disappointment.
• 8:00 AM: Zion National Park. The reason I'm here! Drive is about an hour. Prepare for the crowds. Prepare for awe. Prepare for mild panic from heights.
• 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Zion: I'm going to throw myself into this. Angels Landing? Maybe not. That looks like… death. The Emerald Pools Trail, though? Sounds lovely. And maybe, just maybe, I'll attempt The Narrows… if I can stop thinking about the river snakes. The sheer scale of Zion is breathtaking, overwhelming, humbling… and also the kind of place that makes you question everything you know about the universe. And, of course, the sheer number of Instagrammers… good lord. I’m going to attempt to take photos without blocking the trail. Wish me luck.
• 4:30 PM: Back to the room. Collapse.
• 6:00 PM: Dinner. Considering a grocery store run. Microwave dinner and a can of something… probably beans. My culinary standards are apparently as low as my energy levels.
• 7:30 PM: THEATER! Cedar City is known for the Utah Shakespeare Festival. I'm not a huge Shakespeare buff, but it's supposed to be good. I have tickets to a play. God, please let the actors have talent. And PLEASE, do not let the people next to me chew gum obnoxiously.
• 10:00 PM: Reflect on theatrical experiences. (Depends on the play. I'm hoping for a good one.) Re-evaluate the state of my existence in the quiet of the night.

Day 3: Bryce Canyon (and a Descent into Madness?)

• 7:00 AM: Coffee. Vending machine coffee, which is just… why?
• 8:00 AM: DRIVE. Bryce Canyon National Park is a bit further. Another scenic drive. Another opportunity to contemplate my mortality.
• 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Bryce Canyon. The hoodoos! The views! The… altitude sickness? Okay, I'll take it slow. Hiking, photo opportunities, maybe some quiet contemplation. Will find a spot.
• 4:30 PM: Another return to Motel 6. (Notice a pattern?)
• 6:00 PM: Dinner. Leftovers. Or something even cheaper. I might crack.
• 7:00 PM: Packing. I might leave. Or I might stay forever.
• 8:00 PM: Depart.

Final Thoughts:

This is not a perfect plan. It's a plan based on potential excitement, questionable decisions, and the desperate need for decent coffee. It's a plan that will probably change. I'll probably get lost. I'll definitely overthink things. I'll likely end up talking to the squirrels. But hey, that's the adventure, right? Wish me luck. I'm going to need it. And maybe a stiff drink. And definitely better coffee.

Cedar City's BEST Kept Secret: Motel 6 Review - You WON'T Believe This! (Seriously, Though... Buckle Up.)

Okay, spill it! What's the "secret"? Is it REALLY Motel 6? Like... *the* Motel 6?!

Alright, alright, settle down, people! Yes. YES. It's Motel 6. I KNOW. I felt the same way. "Cedar City's *best* kept secret? At *Motel 6*?" But hold on to your hats, because this isn't your average, run-of-the-mill, slightly sad-smelling Motel 6 experience. I was skeptical. *Deeply* skeptical. But... hear me out. It's… different. It’s got vibes. Seriously. I’m not sure *what* vibes, but they're… present. Perhaps it’s the location. Perhaps it's the sheer audacity of it. Perhaps it's the fact that I found a surprisingly clean-ish room for under $50. Whatever it is, it's a must-see.

So, what's *actually* good about it? Be honest. I need real talk.

Okay, okay. Honesty time. Look, this isn’t the Four Seasons. Don’t go in expecting fluffy robes and turn-down service. But here's the deal: * **The Price is Right:** Seriously, it's CHEAP. Like, "I can afford to spend the extra cash on a decent breakfast" cheap. That's HUGE when you're road-tripping and your travel budget is looking a little… thin. * **Location, Location, Location:** It's surprisingly convenient. Close to the (surprisingly good) restaurants, a quick hop to the Shakespeare Festival (which, FYI, is incredible), and easy access to the highway. So...winning. * **The Unexpected Charm:** This is the hardest part to explain. It has this… *je ne sais quoi*. Maybe it’s the slightly faded orange exterior. Maybe it’s the friendly (and surprisingly efficient) staff. Maybe it’s the fact that your expectations are rock-bottom, so *anything* that slightly exceeds them feels amazing. Who knows! * **The "Not Fancy, But Functioning Cleanliness":** The room was… clean-ish. Look, there are areas where you can see some wear and tear, but overall, I've seen FAR worse. And for the price, I was pleasantly surprised. It was a low-key, "hey, good for a quick overnight" situation. But... * **The Coffee Situation:** It. Is. Questionable. Bring your own instant. Trust me on this. The provided coffee is… an experience. Let's just say it fuels you. In a survival kind of a way.

What about the *bad* parts? Don't sugarcoat it!

Okay, alright. Reality check time. * **Thin Walls:** You WILL hear everything. The neighbor's TV, the kids running down the hallway, the guy who apparently snores like a walrus. Bring earplugs. Or, you know, embrace the communal experience. * **The Bathroom:** It's Motel 6. It's… basic. Don't expect luxury. Don't be surprised by the slight-but-unexplained lingering scent of… something. I won't speculate! * **The Decor:** Think "minimalist 1980s roadside motel". The decor is… functional. Not necessarily stylish. Let's just leave it at that. * **The Bed:** It's… a bed. Could be comfy, could be a plank of wood. Hope for the best, and pack a pillow that will elevate your experience. * **The One Time I Saw a Spider:** Okay, I'm exaggerating. But it was there at one point. Just a little guy. But, yeah. Spider. So... consider this your warning, if you're the type who has to have EVERYTHING to get to sleep.

So, that "Best Kept Secret" thing? Is that just hyperbole?

Look, 'best kept secret' is *definitely* a stretch. But the point is, you go in with *zero* expectations, and you’re pleasantly surprised. It's a reliable, cost-friendly stop in a pinch. Honestly, I'm leaning towards a 'yes', in some weird way. It's *reliable* cheap! You, probably, won't have a bad time. Just… manage your expectations. And bring your own coffee. *The True Secret of Motel 6*: It's a great story to tell later. I already can’t stop telling people about it, and I'm not even sure if I liked it. It’s that memorable.

I heard something about a Parking Lot Experience. Is that a thing?

Oh, the Parking Lot Experience. Let me tell you about the Parking Lot Experience. It can happen. It *maybe* happened to me once. Picture this: It's late. You've driven for hours. You're tired, you just got in, you're unpacking, and it's dark. You're in the parking lot, unloading the car, when… (Insert random, potentially bizarre parking lot event here – I won't get into specifics because, well, it's a *Motel 6* parking lot, and some things are best left unsaid). **The moral of the story?** Don't linger in the parking lot. Get in, park, get out. And always, *always* lock your car. Okay, the parking lot isn't always wild and crazy. I'm not sure why it was *that* night. But Cedar City's Motel 6 parking lot has the potential to be… interesting. Keep to yourself. Get in, get out, and move on, and you’ll be fine.

Would you stay there again? Be honest!

You know what? Despite everything, yeah. I probably would. Because it's functional. Because it's cheap. Because it's… an experience. And honestly, if you're looking for a no-frills place to crash for a night, this is a solid contender. But pack the earplugs. And, for the love of all that is holy, BRING YOUR OWN COFFEE.
