When sitting on the bed, table between beds had a sticky substance that had dried on table and floor. Behind the door in the bathroom had not been cleaned, dirty towel still hanging from previous guest and used bar of soap in shower.

It was decent this time. Small roaches kept me on my toes all night. Other than the unexpected company, it was alright.

Better than sleeping in the car
The good part was it was 1/2 the price of neighboring hotels on an Ohio State home football weekend, where all hotels were price-gouging. Otherwise, it was a place to get a few hours of sleep and take a shower.

They require a $50 deposit. For some reason my card wouldn’t go through, and they made me find an ATM at 11pm to get $50 cash. The beds were comfortable, But you can tell they don’t move the mattress and clean the bed base. The shower had long black hairs all over the walls and in the drain. The shower curtain was so moldy, that I took a shower with it open. I did feel safe staying there. It’s not a bad Motel specially for the price I paid…they just need to do better at cleaning!

I’ve stayed at over 20 hotels in the past few months and this place was absolutely disgusting. From the dirty linen to the hair in the shower and the mold on the walls. The smoke alarm started beeping in the middle of the night and I tried to fix it myself to no avail. I will never stay at a motel 6 again. I’ve never requested a refund and probably never will but this was just deplorable.
