Motel 6 Huntington

About The Hotel

The Motel 6 Huntington is a 2-star Motel 6 budget property (rebranded from the older ‘Huntington Inn’ brand) at 4644 US Route 60 on the east side of Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia, in the WV-KY-OH Tri-State region. Rated 2.7 across only 19 reviews - LOW OVERALL RATING and LOW REVIEW COUNT with weak subratings: location 2.6 (top), service 2.6, sleep quality 2.2, cleanliness 2.1, rooms 2.0, value 2.0. Priced $85-$86 per night. Amenities include free parking, WiFi, HOT TUB on-site (per property amenity list) and pet-friendly rooms. NOTABLE: In-room JACUZZI ROOM confirmed by a 2019 5-star reviewer: ‘Great stay after renovations! Stayed in a Jacuzzi room for two nights super clean great environment will definitely come back and stay again had a great time great service friendly service from friendly people if you’re coming to Huntington you shoul’ stay here. Another 5-star: ‘Nice people, nice place. Clean, friendly, serviced my room everyday, a ten plus. I left the red roof inn to stay here. In town for work 2 weeks now. Should have come here first.’ This is unusual for a stripped-down Motel 6 rebrand and one of the few confirmed in-room jacuzzi options among West Virginia budget hotels. But significant 2023-onward candid warnings apply. A 1-star: ‘Terrible experience finding crystal meth. Found crystal meth velcroed under a chair. Called police. Hotel wouldn’t give me a refund. This place needs shut down.’ Another 1-star: ‘Horrible!! Front desk guy was creepy and rude. Charged $20 cash deposit. Said rooms were non smoking but all 3 rooms reeked of smoke. Pillows were flat. 2 of the rooms heater didn’t work.’ Book with clear-eyed expectations of both the confirmed jacuzzi rooms and the candid flags. Huntington sits on the Ohio River at the WV-KY-OH Tri-State intersection - about 10 minutes east of Marshall University, Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington Museum of Art, Ritter Park and downtown Pullman Square; 15 minutes northwest to HTS Airport; 15 minutes west to Camden Park amusement park; 15 minutes south to Beech Fork State Park; 30 minutes east to Hurricane (Hampton Inn much better mid-scale alternative); 30 minutes west across the Ohio River to Ashland KY; 60 minutes east to Charleston. Best for last-resort budget Marshall University football overflow booking, budget travelers specifically wanting a confirmed in-room jacuzzi option, or November 14 We Are Marshall anniversary alumni booking with realistic expectations. Consider Hurricane’s Hampton Inn (4.1/426, 30 min east on I-64) as a much better mid-scale alternative for Marshall football weekends.
