Motel 6-Columbus, OH - OSU

Parking is not adequate. Many things in disrepair. Plugs that don’t work.

This was a pleasant stay. Nice and clean and exactly what you need. A clean comfortable room and bed with lot of cameras around the property to ensure you feel safe. Staff is friendly and courteous. I would definitely stay again for a quick stay like this. There’s a 50 dollar deposit which is very reasonable and plenty of towels in the room. Walkable to about 10 different restaurants (maybe more). Shopping at Kohl’s only a walk away. I didn’t have a bad experience.

Needs mowed grass is long and needs trash picked up and trimmed I would call it shabby looking or unkept.

Courteous staff, but no elevator, no shampoo, and TV did not work

Room was not very clean. Vending machines and ice machines did not work.

The price was higher when I checked in, there was no kind of coffee or water , nothing. I had to mop the floor of my room the night I got in late from travel. They were sticky and black. I used their towels and bought my towels with me. The smoke Alarms were going off on 2nd night from 2 am till 8ish next morning. On and off . . I called front desk from cell phone because no working phone in room. I even put rolls of poop bags in 2 of the reciprocals... There were none

Always trash laying around building. Empty food wrappers, boxes, condoms and other garbage

This place is absolutely filthy. There were dead bugsn the floor. The comforter had gross stains & burn marks. The pool Is closed. As for the bathrooms, put it this way we didn’t use the bathtubs because there were burn marks all over the bathtub with soap scum and footprints. The drug activity here is astounding. Beware!

After a long drive and needing to use the bathroom, both lobby restrooms were out of order. After checking in and going to my room the main light did not work, the fridge door did not close all the way and was warm and the shelf where you can hang stuff was coming out of the wall and the room reeked of smoke. Requested new room and the clerk took me to another room but advised the shower was "difficult" to work. He messed with it for a few minutes and we then decided to move the fridge from that room to my original room where i would put up with the smell and non working light. When I went to plug it in I noticed the third prong in the plug was broken which would be a fire hazard so I declined putting it in my room. The clerk then took me to a 3rd room that was good enough although the water pressure in the shower was practically non existent and if you turned the knob 1/8 of an inch to far either way you either got scalded or frozen. There also was mold in the seams of the tub surround and the ice machine was not working. The general state of the motel seemed to be sad and in disrepair as if no one cared enough to get things fixed. While in the lobby another customer came in to ask for a different fridge as well as theirs had mold in it. I chose Motel 6 based on the website pictures of the room and description in general and was highly, highly disappointed. The price was not worth the frustration and aggravation as the issues made me late for my daughters wedding rehearsal.

It was a typical Motel 6, no frills but that's OK. It was inexpensive. Staff was very nice. Only pitfall was terrible WiFi internet. I never could sink up my laptop, not even in their lobby.

The room had lots of gnats and fruit flies, lots of crus build up in the corners around the baseboards in the bed corners, bed frames broken, stained linen

The room was dirty, water was cold in shower. For $200 a nite, this place was a dump.

Typical cheap motel 6. Room was dirty, beds were horribly uncomfortable, found a roach crawling on the floor the seond night, was leftover food and drink in the mini fridge from a previous guest and microwave was dirty, shower sucked, nobody came to service the room. Didnt expect much and couldnt even meet already low expectations.

Gross, dirty towles. Hairs in bath that weren't mine! Dirty shower. Weird smell. Things are too overlooked.

The floors were dirty, even though they looked clean, my socks were black. The sheets had stained on themz

This place smells and has mold and bugs. If you must stay here, check ALL of the sheets and bring air freshener. I'm currently fighting them for a refund because they claim they tried everything. It's just a gross motel and the makeshift bulletproof glass in the lobby should tell you all you need to know.

It was the worst and dirtiest experience of my life. I couldn’t sleep until morning, and then I found my arms and legs covered in bed bug bites. The pain, severe itching, swelling, and inflammation in my skin are beyond description . I’ll probably have to go to the emergency room.

Smelled like straight cigarettes. The door to the bathroom barely shuts. The tub was not clean and the towels were stained. The headboard was disconnecting from the wall and paint was chipping.

It’s ok if you just need a place to crash and you’re on a budget. I wouldn’t bring my kids here. It’s very beat up and it’s not clean…our room smelt like old smoke despite being a non smoking room. we found hairs in our fridge… there’s so many patch jobs and things in rough shape. The beds are half decent, but that’s honestly it. We tried to stay on a budget for a bucks game, but we won’t be returning.

No shower curtain. Room ok. Nothing fancy

We were on the second floor. The room was perfectly fine and clean. The only downside I had was the toilet really didn’t flush so well. And on the second day, my shower started warm quickly went cold and then I had to finish taking an ice cold shower, no matter how much I moved it over to the hot so that I did not enjoy.

We found the bed to be uncomfortable. The walls were a bit thin. Heard a lot of sounds. Shower was good.

The temperature adjustment for the shower was broken. It only would run scalding hot water. Needless to say, none of us showered.

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.

Hard to sleep , man in room next to mine who was drunk and yelling until 2 am.

Room is a dump. A/C didnt work. Door was broken

The bed was hard toilet seat was broke

It was a typical Motel 6, no frills but that's OK. It was inexpensive. Staff was very nice. Only pitfall was terrible WiFi internet. I never could sink up my laptop, not even in their lobby.

The shower had just a extremely hot water or extremely cold water, very inconvenient.

The staff were horrible very unprofessional

After a terrible hotel the night before in Cleveland, I was hoping for much better in Columbus. I was greeted by a friendly and professional older woman at the front desk during check in. She made small talk, asked what brought me to town, and gave me all of the appropriate details needed (where my room was, where to park, coffee in the morning, etc). When I opened the room's door, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) with a cleaning smell. This made me happy since my room at a different hotel chain the night before was so disgusting. The sheets/blanket, table, bathroom area, and everything was very clean. The only complaint I had was a stranger approached my car in the parking lot and asked if I wanted to have s-x for fun. I was completely taken aback as I assumed he worked for the hotel, because it looked like he came from the front (it was a bad assumption on my part) and he motioned for me to roll down my window. Thankfully he didn't see what room I came out of, but, I always urge folks to be mindful of their surroundings. The checkout process was fine the next day and the front desk staff (a different, young woman) was friendly, too. No complaints.

Clean room ,very friendly staff

Staff are friendly and room is clean.

Staffs are professional.

We stayed here to go to a concert and check in is at 3. I arrived around 3:30 and was told it would be 45 minutes to an hour until it was ready. I came back an hour later and he asked if I was going to the concert, when I said yes he asked if I would care to check in after the show.. around midnight. I said absolutely not and then it was ready in about 10 minutes. I understand staffing issues are pretty common these days, but it’s ridiculous to think check in 9 hours after the normal time for the normal price is fine. The room was pretty clean, but the front desk was not helpful at all. The price and location to the venue were reasonable.

Motel 6 cancelled our reservation before the 3 pm check in time. They claimed our card was invalid . They then tried to rent the room to us at 3x the original agreed upon price . This hotel has shown price gouging at its finest . I would never ever stay there .. the lobby was filthy and the hotel clerk looked very dirty and barely spoke English. Thank u to Armando from hotels.com he put us in another hotel for the same price we had originally reserved

Arrived to the hotel got checked in. The toilet set was broken and when I complained to management. I was offered another room it was nasty. When I asked the night manager what would be done to remedy the situation I was told that I would have to speak to the morning management. When she arrived she refused to even speak with me. The room also smelled like marijuana. My husband almost got hurt trying to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I feel like I was ripped off off. This property is makings Expedia look bad. Also there is a $50 room deposit and I don't want to be charged for anything I didn't break. At this point I don't feel that thhe hotel can be trusted to even return my deposit. I asked for a receipt and was told I had go on-line and print it.

Do not stay here. The manager is a straight up crook. I had reservations months in advance, and opted to pay on site when I arrived for my stay. I called days ahead to insure that I was in the system and that I was going to be checking in late due to the first day of the sonic temple festival (I go straight to the festival because it starts at noon and check in starts at 3 pm). My card was charged 1.00 the day prior which shows that they ran my card for the “hold on the room”. This crook of a manager doesn’t call me, but rather sends me an email at 3 pm the day of check-in telling me my cards declined and I have 2 hours to contact them (keep in mind I was already inside the venue for the festival). I found the email at 5 pm and they pulled my entire reservation and refused to reinstate it at the rate I booked it at. Keep in mind, the hold was active so my card never was declined. Expedia got involved and confirmed my card was active, the hold was legit, and they were not allowed to do that. Expedia also confirmed that they were not even allowed to charge me, until I arrived in person. Due to this manager refusing to fix the problem, Expedia relocated me to another hotel the following day, after sleeping in my car…..they also sent the additional cost/bill for the relocation to this motel 6, because they absolutely were not allowed to do what they did to me. Screw this place and the crooked manager. Thank you Expedia for the fix, and passing them the bill!

Nice place to spend the night after an event. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. Close enough to downtown to be accessible but far enough away to avoid most of the traffic.

My room was quiet, lean and very convenient. The location seemed to be centrally located and I was near all of the right places which was tine saving. The shower and resrroom was very clean and there. Was no loud noise around me so I was able to get good rest. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Great job. 👍

Location was really good

Great location if you’re in the area for a show or a sporting event.

close to OSU

It was a good stay for the price and location for our concert. The restaurants near by were very nice. The room was very bare, but clean and good for a one night stay.

Exactly what i wanted, an affordable room with a nice location. Will definitely use again for future concerts.

Nice clean quiet hotel. I was in and out for a weekend. You get what you pay for, and this hotel fit what I expected for the price. I was in for an Ohio State basketball game and I wanted a hotel walking distance to the arena. I’d stay here again if I’m going bargain budget.

It is a convenient place around OSU if you are looking for a cheap place to stay. I have stayed here several years for the state track meet and have had no issues. It is a bare bones place to sleep and shower. Works for me

This location was in the ghetto I didn't feel safe here
