In order to catch a flight from Cincinnati, we checked in at 12:45 AM for a 4 hour stay. On-Line booking was "lost", but rooms for us were available (surprise!). At check-in, the "free airport shuttle" advertised on the internet was explained as "no, we don't do that, but there is a taxi guy . . . but he's a little undependable." We were traveling as two couples -- both of the accommodations we received were particularly run-down, malodorous and just plain "flop house-y" in nature. Our traveling companions did actually change rooms due to visible bugs but we just squinted and didn't look too closely to try to catch some much needed sleep. Best comment -- when we got to the room door, my husband noted, "Gee, at least our door has obviously already been kicked in once!"
Don't bother undressing -- or turning on any lights to inspect the room too closely -- if you want to get any sort of rest. There was a "free breakfast" that consisted of a tray of powdered doughnuts, a brown, coffee-like liquid with the world's tiniest styrofoam cups (no creamer, but at least they kindly left the empty CoffeeMate container there to remind you that at one point in time they had creamer) plus a container of Cheerios that might have been fresh during Watergate.

The nicest thing I can say is that it clearly lets you know where NOT to stay again.

Staff were nice and room looked ok. But waking up with bed bug bites all over my face and body was the ruin of my vacation. When i went to the desk to complain all swollen faced, it was like this was usual and gave me a new room. This room had mould on the walls, wallpaper falling off them and the sink leaked (which wasnt fixed by the end of my weeks stay). But least no bed bugs in this room. The Assistant Manager gave a discount pffft, not even full for the days the bugs ate me alive before the move to the mould room. Not a pleasant stay at all.

I stayed at this Motel 6 (conversion from a Days Inn) because it was close to the airport and cheap. Six inches of snow were expected and I didn't want to miss my flight to Cairo. Hotel was run down, but in process of being changed over and upgraded to a Motel 6. Given some time, it will be up to regular Motel 6 standards. Right now, make sure to check room first,.

We were traveling along I-75 headed south and had planned to spend a night somewhere near the Cincinnati area our first night on the road. We were traveling with our two dogs and know we can depend on a budget chain such as Motel 6 to deliver a clean, affordable room with a convenient location next to the Interstate. We booked online on Motel6.com and chose this property because it was listed as "new" which we knew didn't mean "brand new" but at least "new" to the chain and therefore likely inspected recently to be approved as an addition to the company's portfolio.

WOW. What a disaster! First, we pulled up the reception and parked right out in front was a broken down car mounted on milk crates and lumber. We were checked into our room quickly however without any indication of where our room was located in relation to the reception.
We specified non-smoking but opened the room's door and were immediately confronted with a wall of stale cigarette smoke. The room stank. The walls were a stained yellowish color (probably from the years of cigarettes) and the wallpaper had holes in places and was falling off in others. While offloading our bags into the room, a man put his cigarette outside our door on the a/c unit and just walked straight into the room. My husband confonted him at which point the man said he was the maintenance guy and had come to make sure our a/c was working... it was, but nothing else did.
The tap on the sink turned either direction but only found luke-warm water. No cold or hot available. Luckily, the shower worked better but we were only provided with one towel for a King size bedroom (there were however two cups and two hand towels). There was a brand new looking mini coffee maker, which would have been great except there was NO COFFEE to go with it. No wonder if was so clean, it's never been used.
The bed sheet had a HUGE cigarette burn hole which they had attempted to conceal by tucking the sheet in at the foot of the bed. The floors were dirty and had clearly not been vacuumed since the previous person's departure. The only reason we didn't refuse the room was because it was the only non-smoking room on the first level that had a parking spot right outside the door. With all our stuff and our dogs, we wanted that convenience- even at the expense of our noses.

The *ONE* nice thing about this room was the mini bar fridge, which we used to keep our water bottles cold for our departure the next morning.

I have traveled all across America on roadtrips my whole life. I don't stay at fancy hotels when I'm on the road and stick to Motel 6, Super 8 and Days Inn. I know what I expect for a budget price and don't get my nose out of joint if there aren't fancy soaps and turn down service. However, I DO expect a clean room, ammenities that are promised to work, and I certainly expect that my non-smoking room isn't going to smell like stale cigarettes masked with febreeze.

Motel 6 should be ashamed of this hotel even being part of its chain of establishments.
