This motel is a refurbished Motel 6. The insides of the room are recently renovated, but they were, unfortunately, dirty. There were fingernail cuttings on my bed (not mine), and the floors were really dirty. My sheets had a burn hole in them. The shower was fantastic and clearly brand new. The elevator was really gross and felt scary. There were fingerprints on the outside of the windows, so I was cautious I was being spied on. The women at the front desk were kind and lovely, and I worry for them working there. The vibe was tired and resigned. Basically, they put lipstick on the pig here. I'd stay many other places before I stay here again.

Okay motel, has serious issue with bugs

Staff was nice, when it came to the room we stayed in at first glance was ok until the room seemed unswept and not clean, and there was a problem with bugs, literal roaches in our room. It was tolerable until we would find them on the beds.

Room was small, but new shower was very nice. Area around the motel was crummy, but location near OSU is good. Only a McDonald's to walk to for breakfast, but OK. We didn't have a microwave or refrigerator because my husband is allergic to pets, so we chose the third floor where pet owners don't stay.

We were given a room and the key pad battery died. We tried three different sets of keys before a new room was given. We were then put in a room that had toenails sitting by the bed side, dried noodles on the bathroom floor. One bath towel and no extra toilet paper in the room. Between the hours of midnight and 2am there was a crowd of people loud and obnoxious outside of our room. The bed felt like it was going to break. Overall it was terrible. The front counter lady was very nice.

Very nice stay. Had exactly everything we needed. Location was so nice because you are close but on the outskirts of all the hustle bustle of the university district. It was nice having a couple fast food locations next door for a quick bite to eat. Definitely keeping this place in mind should we come to the area again!!!
