A recent renovation has given this Motel 6 the updated look. Gone are the small TVs and standard bathrooms, and they have been replaced by 32-inch TVs with AV connections for games and bathrooms with granite countertops. All new Motel 6 properties have this look, and others like this one have had renovations since 2009. There is also an adjoining restaurant, something not found in traditional Motel 6 units. The hotel is nine miles from the Caldwell Carnegie Library and 19 miles from the Chisholm Trail Museum.
