Motel 6 Missoula - University offers a basic, budget-friendly room for the night with an excellent location near the University of Montana and easy walk into town. The experience is described as normal for the chain, with a good clean room and friendly, helpful staff, including kind front desk associates. Many note the cheap price and great value, with clean and well-stocked rooms featuring comfy beds. However, some issues are reported. A significant problem for some is a strong cigarette smoke smell in certain rooms, affecting bedding and air conditioning. Other occasional drawbacks include a bit of street noise or freight train sounds at night, a bathroom door that was dirty and wouldn't close, and a tub that holds water. Guests should also note that amenities like soap and toothpaste are not provided. For travelers seeking a bargain-priced room in a very well-connected location with great service, it is a solid choice, though the potential for smoke smell is a noted risk.
Brian was nice and easy to work with, the owner not so much. She yelled at Brian for something about the guests ahead of us.

The curtains didn’t cover the window all the way and while reading other reviews i see it’s a problem not being addressed. a huge wad of hair came out of the drain when i ran the water to shower. it was completely disgusting. the front desk people are really nice.

If you plan to sleep you should look for a different place. The train is whistling the whole night. Also the room is lacking any atmosphere. The second bed had been removed and leaves an empty space. Good enough for one night.
