Motel 6

Our room being on the 2^nd floor we have to walk up the only stairway on the front of the building. Our room is all the way at the end which means we get the luxury of seeing the extremely rusty stairs paired well the the untouchable rusty handrail. As we walk the long walk to our room I notice a very dry and winding stain that appears to have come from a leaky trash bag. No telling how long it’s been there. Finally we get to our room.
Open the door and the stench of stale cigarettes mixed with old AC unit and cleaning chemicals hits you. It’s a non-​smoking room but obviously that means nothing which is apparent by the random cigarette burns we found throughout the room.
The hard wood-​looking laminate floor seems to be there for the appearance of higher quality or maybe just to make the room look bigger. All it really does is make me not want to walk barefoot in the room because of the apparent dirt and dust bunnies that seem to be made of lost pubes.
The bed is average size but when laid on each and every spring creaks and moans making it difficult to sleep soundly. It’s also lumpy due to some of those springs protruding up into the mattress. Pull down the blanket to reveal a softer blanket which is nice. Pull that down to reveal a burlap, or possibly 20 thread count sheet. There’s no way I’m laying under that one so I decide to lay on the sheet under the one high point of the experience so far; the soft blanket. Did I mention the cigarette burns on the headboard and dinged up nightstand?
The bathroom is small and the toilet is so low to the ground that it seems to be for a child. Looking left I see the tub/​shower which while upon first inspection looks clean but later reveals some of those cigarette burns and mold. It’s only so long before I need to use the toilet, unfortunately a necessary evil. The seat has chipped paint that makes it look dirty and when I lift the seat to urinate I find dried urine from another guest. Blech. The flush is very slow and deliberate and makes me think it’s going to overflow but luckily everything goes down as hoped.
The shower in the morning is another adventure. The curved shower rod, installed to create the appearance of more space, is bent downward making the curtain slide inward from both sides. It’s been like this for quite some time which is apparent by the water stains on the walls in certain places. The shower head is placed in just the right spot so a person 5’6″ has to duck slightly. Someone taller will definitely enjoy that. The floor is uneven and seems to be a cover. Not only is it uneven but dipped and creaks quite loudly just like the bed. My wife is showering right now and I can tell when she moves because a loud groan escapes the bathroom every minute or so. Please note my wife is 5’10″ and about 130 lbs so just about anyone will experience the groan. Now to the drain which has to have years of surprises down there because the water just does not want to drain out of the tub.
We are leaving as soon as possible since this has been by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. You truly do get what you pay for and at $ 69 something with tax, you just don’t get much. Tom Bodat… no need to leave the light on for me any more.

Stayed over night one night last month while visiting Cleveland Clinic. Found a bed bug early the next morning. Caught the bug and took it to the office 2 different girls working there agreed they had bug problems and I infact had a bedbug. Waited over an hour for the Manager (Steve) denied it was a bedbug. We went next door to Days Inn. Watched him rent out the room we stayed in the same night we left. Beware room 147.

If I could give no stars, I would. I was traveling through the area mainly to visit family for a less than pleasant reason, a funeral. I had driven from Arizona to Ohio and had rough hotel visits across the country. A lot of noisy nights, a scary midnight intruder and unable to do any work due to spotty Wi-​Fi. As a result, I had a few requirements for the kind of room I wanted. I called this hotel and spoke with Nicole, who happened to be the manager of this location. She was very nice and answered all my questions and was able to reserve me a specific kind of room that fit my needs after such a bad travel experience. She was kind and understanding especially when I related how bad my travels had been. She was so patient, I complimented her. I told her she did an amazing job. She told me everything was going to be great once i arrived and I literally used the phrase «Thank you for doing your job flawlessly.» Thinking of that now, it is salt in an open wound. I arrived at this location 8 hours later, after a long day on the interstate. I wanted to get to a room where I felt safe, had working Internet and could relax. What happened: Nicole was gone for the day, the kind of room I wanted was no longer available and they had no record of my reservation. Awesome, thank you Nicole for flawlessly not making a reservation. You must have been too busy basking in the glow of my compliment to do the work that the compliment was for. So don’t bother making a reservation, they literally are just so awesome, they have a line out the door so they don’t need your business and can easily dispose of someone who was guaranteeing a four night visit with a possible extension.
Luckily, the Days Inn across the street is basically EXACTLY like the Motel 6 next to it. The people there are nice and when I forgot something after my seven night stay there, I asked them to send it to me. Guess what, they actually did it!
Shout out to Nicole’s supervisor, Mark, who I spoke with about Nicole’s inability to make a reservation. I told him I would be at the Days Inn through the weekend. He told me Nicole would deliver a written apology to the front desk. It never appeared. I called to let him know it never appeared and that I would be writing a review unless he wanted to further discuss it. No call, so here’s my review. He doesn’t care if this Motel 6 goes under, so go to the Days Inn across the parking lot. It’s much nicer, cleaner and the people there want to work and understand what they are selling is a service. Motel 6 is your basic crappy people working a crappy job so they take no pride and you, the customer, pay for it.

It looks like the renovations have been completed at this Motel 6. We stayed there for several nights due to a convention in town. Nicer hotel rooms don’t mean a thing if you ask to have your room made up (when it wasn’t done) & was promised it would be (but, it never was). Plus, because it is wintertime, our hardwood floor had salt & stuff all over them due to our boots. So, it was even more dirty looking.
We stayed in room 120, no roaches. But, I did hear a dog bark a few doors down from us in the middle of the night.
Maybe the next time we attend a convention in the area, we’ll try one of the hotels around there instead. The room thing has happened to us before at this hotel…

STAY AWAY!
The worst hotel chain ever. The rooms are dirty, shabby, out of date. There is no staff. Forget about any kind of service. Housekeeping is a joke and they do not care. The room had fleas. I had to checkout. WI FI you have to pay for.

One word NASTY! There’s always police getting calls here and rooms are gross half the time air conditions don’t work and there are women that like to come up and offer stuff. Good thing it’s not so pricey but also not the cleanest motel. I wouldn’t allow my dog to sleep here.

BEWARE OF COCKROACHES… I was sent to room 121 of this motel and upon walking in, saw 2 cockroaches on the wall. Need I say more?

I know it’s cheap, and it’s a motel, but I still have expectations of no previous user’s hair all over the pillow cases. Pretty gross.

The good: This motel is just about $ 40 so it’s easy on the wallet; it’s close to the freeway, and there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance.
The bad: Don’t expect much for your $ 40. The front desk staff is average to poor, the ice machine doesn’t work, there were long hairs on the sheets and towels, there was a large area of the carpet by the sink that was soaked & squishy, you’ve got to pay for Internet access, there were stains on the headboard; the credit card system was down so we had to find a nearby ATM in order to pay cash since they wanted all of our stay paid in advance when we checked in.
Suggestion: This place is not for those who want a cheap AND clean place. You get one or the other. LOL If you want to spend a bit more money, there are at least 4 other motels next door or across the street from here.
