The property lady was very nice. The only downfall was that it was a long walk all the way across the hall and you had to keep on entering through the main entrance to get in the building but other than that, they were very nice and didn’t care.

This hotel would be sufficient for when you pick up a 10 dollar hooker behind Popeyes Chicken (conveniently located across the street) No elevators, staircase and hallways smell like urine. Bring your own toiletries and towels since my towels were clearly not washed from previous stays. Couldn't bring myself to use what was provided. Cockroaches make nice roommates. Cuck chair was broken and mysteriously stained, but it matched the carpet. I've had better overnights in county jail.

Air condition worked fine. The room smelled bad/ Bathroom floor was dirty and not freshly cleaned. No proper locks on doors. Only one entrance is allowed to be used in the whole motel for entry. Not to mention in a dangerous area of Columbus. DO NOT STAY HERE.

1st room we were offered had a pair of jeans and a feminine douche under one of the beds also, there was something (not sure what it was) in the shower. It smelled dirty and musty. The 2nd room wasn’t much better but we had to stay somewhere and everything else was sold out. Still had a musty smell asked for new sheets the desk guy said housekeeping were already gone for the day. Called to the desk for new towels on Friday and didn’t get them until Sunday afternoon. There are a lot of shady people hanging around there. This place either needs to be renovated or torn down. A call to the health department would be a good idea as well.

Major leaks in the ceiling, bugs, horrible smells, dirty floors, beds, and bathrooms with poop stains, graffiti on the walls, holes in the walls, light not working, or flickering. This place should be condemned by the health department.

Room was dirty, and there were bugs in the room. We are not very picky about about rooms being mismatched or not fancy, but this was dirty and the door lock did not properly work, etc. We ended up finding elsewhere to stay it was so bad.
