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.

This motel is moderately priced. The bed was clean but the bathroom, shower, floor & microwave were not as clean as they should’ve been. The walls had debris wiped on it in a couple of areas which should’ve been cleaned. The tv & cable were fine, but the microwave didn’t work. The staff was fine just can’t recommend due to the lack of cleaning.
