The two-pearl Motel 6 Redmond offers 100 clean rooms at a budget-friendly price in southern Redmond, an eight-minute drive from the airport. Despite the no-frills approach of the brand, there are a few nice features like a hot tub, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. Pets are welcome without a fee, as well. Simple rooms have flat-screen TVs with expanded cable channels, mini-fridges, and microwaves, but the open hanging spaces and lack of artwork creates a spartan feel. Those looking for a bit more in terms of style and amenities should check out Sleep Inn & Suites Redmond. The decor there is contemporary and features include a pool, gym, and free breakfast.
Scene
Unfussy hotel with bare necessities and clean, utilitarian surroundings
Motel 6 Redmond is set back from the busy road, surrounded by a parking lot and next to an open dirt lot. Guest rooms are accessible from interior hallways with entry points around the building. The lobby is utilitarian, with a couple of couches, potted plants, a rack of brochures, a desk with a computer, and free coffee on offer. Kids stay for free, making this a popular choice with families. Guests come here for a clean, budget-friendly place to stay rather than for a long list of amenities and extras.
Location
Just off a main road through Redmond, near shopping and fast food
This hotel is close to US-97, the main road headed south out of Redmond, Oregon. The road is a long strip of chain stores, fast food joints, and shopping centers. Within a five-minute walk, there are a few restaurants, car repair shops, a check cashing store, and antique and furniture stores. A grocery store is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and it's a four-minute walk to the nearest public bus stop. The county fairground is a five-minute drive from the hotel, and there’s a golf course just beyond that. The local airport -- Bend-Raymond Airport -- is an eight-minute drive from the hotel. Bend, Oregon is about 25 minutes away by car. Portland International Airport is nearly a three-hour drive away.
Rooms
Bare-bones rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves, but little else
Rooms here are basic and decor is both dated and minimal, but bright red and orange accents on walls and linens add a little cheer. Room options include one or two queen-size beds, or a single king-size, but there are no other upgrade options. Each room has some open shelving, a rack for hanging clothes, and a work desk with two chairs. Also standard are a mini-fridge, microwave, flat-screen TV, and phone. Rooms do not have a clock or hairdryer, so be prepared to bring them. Bathrooms are similarly spartan, offering a curtained shower/tub combo and free bars of soap.
Features
Indoor hot tub, morning coffee, and free Wi-Fi; pets are welcome without a fee
As is typical for the chain, this hotel is light on features. An indoor hot tub is a nice extra, located in a small, nondescript room with a window. There’s no restaurant, but free coffee is available mornings in the lobby. Wi-Fi and parking in a well-lit lot are both free, plus pets can stay for free.
