Upon arrival it was evident how outdated the hotel is. The windows are cloudy, the curtains are broken in many rooms, there are boards in the window tracks to secure the windows from the inside. We also noted it is located right next to a plasma donation center and there were several homeless people in the hotel parking lot. The young lady at the front desk had been working for nearly 24 hours straight, but she was pleasant and personable when checking us in. She was the ONLY positive part of our stay! Within 10 minutes of arriving, an ambulance and fire truck flew into the parking lot. One of the firemen approached us and asked if we were staying at the Motel 6. We replied yes, and he told us, “Don’t stay here. Go anywhere else in town, but do not stay at this place. Trust us.” Apparently there are people who live there by the week. Unfortunately, due to the sold out concert we were in town for, there were no other rooms available within a 90 minute radius of Madison. The hallways were filthy, but our room was “clean-ish” for the most part. It was very outdated and in bad shape. The tables and dresser were falling apart, the bathroom door wouldn’t close, the air conditioner barely worked, and we did kill one cockroach. We got back to our room at 2 am and tried to sleep but after seeing the cockroach we got in our car and left. Can’t believe we had to pay over $300 for this place! It really just needs to be demolished.
