Motel 6-Youngstown, OH

Don’t like

The good: pleasant staff at checkin. The price was inexpensive. The bad: the exterior walkways and parking are not clean. There was litter in the hallways for the duration of our stay. The rooms look nothing like they are pictured online. The carpeted hallways were worn through. When we checked into our room, the smell of bleach and cigarettes was overwhelming. We opened the window for an hour to vent the smell. We left and came back a few hours later and it just smelled like cigarettes. After staying there for 2 days, all of our belongings smelled like cigarettes. The paint in the room was old and stained. All sorts of liquids have been splattered on the walls and never cleaned. The bathroom tile and grout is old and moldy. The toilet bowl had permanent stains. There was a hole in the wall. The smoke detector was disconnected. The pillows were 1/3 full of filling. We found 3 roaches during the stay. There are no amenities of any kind. You get a bed, four walls, bathroom, towels and soap. No other toiletries, no coffee, no hairdryer (not even at the front desk.) But besides all of that, we hated it.

Air conditioner was loud, they had toilet paper stuffed in the broken light switch cover and a plastic bag covering the smoke detector. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable. And the room smelt terribly of smoke (even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking room).

Had no hot water. Front desk told me to wait an hour and check back I was gone all day for appointments and came back to still no hot water moved room and that room was nasty no toilet paper trash cans had no trash bags in them the room smelled

We didn’t need the room for long but this was definitely one is the worse motel 6’s we’ve stayed at. Mattresses were rock hard, pillows totally flat, no trash can. The location was pretty unsafe for families and it was very loud with screaming etc. Probably fine if you’re tired from traveling. Staff was very friendly.
