The room was a mess. Every single unit reeked of cigarettes, even though they were all non-smoking. Other tenants were loud all night. The room was unclean, bathroom drains were clogged, towels stained.

Do not recommend - room was not ready until 3 hours after check-in. I asked for a non smoking room, but it reaked of smoke. The sheets also had stains on them. When trying to call the front desk, the phone was broken and disconnected. In the morning, nobody was at the front desk to help check out. Jusf seems like a Mickey Mouse operation, even for a Motel 6

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.
