Super 6 Inn & Suites

Super 6 Inn & Suites is at 7226 Plantation Road, in the middle of the row of budget motels between University Town Plaza and Interstate 10. Despite the similar name, it is not part of the Super 8 chain. University Town Plaza is about an eight minute walk away, which puts groceries, restaurants and a movie within easy reach.

The two-story motel has 80 rooms and no elevator. Rooms have 32 inch flat-screen TVs with premium cable, a microwave and a refrigerator. There is a guest laundry and an ATM on site, and WiFi is free in public areas. The property does not have a pool or breakfast, and it relies on nearby restaurants, including delivery, for meals.

Parking is free. Small dogs are allowed, up to two per room, for a per-pet fee.

Expedia lists Historic Pensacola Village about eight miles away, the University of West Florida about five miles away and Naval Air Station Pensacola about 13 miles away, and the airport is about a 15 minute drive. North Davis Highway, one block east, is lined with chain restaurants and shops, and the interstate on-ramp is a minute away.

This is a no-frills option for travelers whose main goal is the lowest possible rate, such as work crews, students between housing and road trippers who only need a place to sleep. Guest reviews point to uneven maintenance, so it suits short stays, and travelers should read recent comments before booking. For a pool or breakfast at a modest rate, the Rest and Relax Inn and the SureStay Studio are a few doors away on the same street. The motel’s central location makes the drive to downtown, Cordova Mall or the University of West Florida quick, which is often the main reason travelers pick it. The front desk can point guests to nearby delivery options.
