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.

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

2/10 Poor

This place is so disgusting. The smell is a mix of dog, mildew and urine. The dogs next door barked ALL NIGHT. Not even exaggerating. This place is not clean. If I could give it less than 1 star I would.

Room didn’t look like photos. Floors were dusty and the room could use some upgrades. Bed was pretty comfy, pillows were as flat as a pancake.

Pretty central to everything but... very thin walls, could hear the people next door getting it on, fresh cigarette smell in my room on the second night somehow (even though no smoking allowed), paint chipping from walls, one tiny bar of soap, greasy wet floors leaving feet dirty, key cards were faulty (had to go to front desk twice to get new ones, after long days out), next door people yelling early in the morning. won't be staying here again unfortunately.

The service was decent. Hotel room was not the cleanest. Towels are fine example of not crispy white. Bed covers had some stains, floor was slippery. Overall you get what you paid for.
