Motel 6 Merrillville is considered a fine place for a quick layover, though it can get noisy due to its location. The staff has been described as helpful, wonderful, and amazing. Some rooms have been updated with nice flooring instead of carpet and feature firm spring mattresses, though pillows are very small. Issues noted include rooms sometimes having a bad smell or an odor of old smoke, and a rare sighting of a roach. A complaint was made about a cleaning person taking a guest's personal items. The inability to open windows on some floors was also mentioned. Despite some problems, many guests would stay here again and find it highly recommended.
