I have stayed in plenty of sketchy places but this one wins! Roaches, soaking wet floors, no shower curtain and bathtub water wouldn't turn off making the floor wet. Also when you walked on the wood flooring out in the room water comes up through the cracks. Homeless people in the parking lot & just plain dirty & rundown. The power stopped working to the outlets in the one whole side of the room. Just don’t stay here.

I've stayed in Motel 6s across the country, and this one wasn't just disappointing, it was astonishingly bad. The room felt neglected and forgotten. Bugs crawled where they shouldn't, the towels and bathroom looked as though they hadn't been properly cleaned, and the stale smell of cigarette smoke clung to everything, refusing to let go.
Even getting into the building was an ordeal, with broken exterior doors that made the entire place feel rundown and insecure. Every detail suggested a property that had long since given up on even the most basic standards of cleanliness and maintenance.
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. I left feeling relieved to escape, and I can't imagine ever returning.

Only good thing about this hotel is the air conditioning. They don’t take cash. The staff are rude. Only the night staff are nice but they’re barely around.

Room was filthy and when I requested a refund they denied me. I got an upgraded room. But not much of an upgrade when I hear dogs in every single room barking and howling through the night.

Checked out 6 hours early. Couldn’t stay another night

When i arrived at the 3pm check in time, no rooms were available. There were several people standing outside of the office entrance smoking. There was no furniture in the lounge area or office. The whole office was filthy. The office manager was very rude and offered no explanation on why no rooms were cleaned. At 4;30pm I asked to cancel my reservation which he agreed. He also said that Motel 6 would release my money and give me a full refund. This remains to be seen. This motel was without a doubt the worst I have ever encountered. I will never make another reservation there and recommend others to avoid this motel at any cost.

This is the worst hotel experience I've ever had. For starters there were a bunch of people loitering outside and in the hallways. I heard people outside my room all night and one person pulled on the door handle. The bathtub was dribbling all night. There was a bug floating in the toilet and it didn't flush. There were several flies buzzing around the room. The mattress was stained. There was no mini fridge, which I thought was standard these days. The ceiling in the bathroom was falling and there were bits of plaster all over the floor. I would maybe pay $40 for this if I had no other choice. I'm furious I paid over $100 for this dump.

There is cheads everywhere and hookrsss and cockroaches people knocking on your door at 3:00 in the morning asking for dope thinking I was a dope man. Don't stay here if you don't want to be bothered and you're not from the hood. I'm originally from there so it didn't bother me that bad yet. If I was anyone else I know I would have been frustrated still kind of am yet it is what it is

It’s bad when the homeless people congregated outside is the least of my concern. The staff had to obtain an extra $5 fee from me to upgrade to a 2 bedroom because there weren't any one bedrooms left. Got to my room, the latch on the inside of the room was locked and the hotel staff had to cut off the lock to get into the room. I had to ask the staff to switch my room instead of waiting for them to fix it as that was their expectation for me.

Beer bottles and trash all over room upon arrival. 2 outlets worked in the room and was told they don’t have a tech. No fridge or microwave as advertised. Only if you get a 1 bed room. No breakfast as advertised. Then, wake up to roaches!!!

Drug addicts hanging out in hallways, yelling at people, approaching your vehicle, sleeping by the doors, delusional dances drugged up, paint peeling, carpet dirty, it a safe place and wouldn’t recommend

First off we got there and our rooms aren't ready so while we were waiting and in that time thepolice swarmed place and ended up arresting somebody , they were short staffed so I did not have my room ready on time. Had to wait an extra 30 minutes to receive keys. Suspicious people walking all over the parking lot. No towels. I have realistic expectations for Motel 6 properties but this one was just awful. Save your money and go up the street to the Econolodge.

Book literally anywhere else. This location is a dump. My bar was low and they brought a shovel. There was debris all over the hallways, reeked of cigarette smoke to the point my throat hurt, front desk worker was rude to his coworker and myself at check in.
Had two beds and one wasn’t even made but had plenty of stains, lamps didn’t have a cover, AC unit was falling out of the wall, smoke alarm clearly tampered with and also falling off the wall.
Unless you’re really down bad, avoid at all cost.

So we didnt actually even stay. Booked ahead and it was a bit of a weird area so we booked elsewhere. While in the lot deciding, someone revved by on a bicycle turned motor bicycle so that was annoying and kinda solidified the choice. Weird stuff. Stayed at a really nice motel 6 this day prior so I was a bit dissapointed that this one turned out to be much more worn down but ya

Let’s be honest, this motel is mostly people that rent long term or get enough money off the street for a place to stay. I don’t think of it as unsafe, I’ve stayed multiple times with my family since it’s a very cheap option in Madison. The property is not good, but that staff does what they can with what they have.

ROACHES. Do not stay at this hotel. The pictures are very carefully framed and contain things not all the rooms have. I was in absolute shock when I walked in. The big plexiglass protective wall around the front desk told me I'd made a huge mistake, but I still couldn't imagine how awful the room would be. The cabinet under the sink was broken, the faucet was loose and moved around, there was glue and damage all over the bathroom door where apparently a mirror used to be, there were no towels of any kind, the toilet was dirty and there was no toilet paper. I had to ask the front desk twice for toilet paper and hand towels. The second time I asked, a maintenance person who didn't even know what hand towels were handed me some ratty, oddly colored, mismatched washcloths. The smoke alarm was ripped off the wall, A/C only sort of worked, floor was torn up, one of the bedside lamps didn't work (and didn't have electricity running to the plug). The bed was giving prison cot. It was a bare metal frame, low the the floor, no bedspread, with a mattress so crappy I've seen better on a pull out couch. There were dead roaches in the hall, and I killed a bug in the bathroom. People were very loud all night long. If I'd had a choice I would have left and found somewhere else, but I couldn't afford to pay for another hotel room after paying for this one. I've been to a renovated Motel 6 and it was fine, and based on price I assumed this one had also been updated. DO NOT STAY HERE.

The property di not feel safe. A lot of people loitering in halls, stairwells and outside the building. There was an RV set up as if it were at a campground, i constantly was checking on my car with the noises and loud bangs outside.
My room had holes in the walls, bathroom door and floor.
I had to hunt down hotel staff to get towels shortly after my check-in.

No toilet paper holder, no toilet paper.
No hot water in the sink.
Missing door mirror.
AC/heating unit: Indecipherable controls, tried to set the fan on low but it kept coming on with the sound of a jet engine. It woke us up when it came on.
Standing water in a side entry.
Homeless people sleeping in the smoking area.
Nice TV, but it wouldn't stay connected; it was hard to get a show, and then the show would stop with the throbber spinning away in the middle of the screen.
When entering for the first time, we were greeted by another guest, who warned us to check for cockroaches, as she stepped on one in her room.
I felt sorry for the guy trying to run the place; every time I talked to him about a problem, he shook his head and looked like he wished he were somewhere else.

We stayed in another miserable Motel 6 in Phoenix this spring. That one had no door on the bathroom, so we were unable to leave the light on but reduce the light. That TV was terrible and had no channel guide, but at least it didn't freeze up like the one in Madison.

If you're paying for the cheapest motel in the city you're gonna get what you pay for. There's a plasma donation center across the street and people fent folding in the parking lot at night, but the room was nice. I'd do it again if I needed to save cash

As soon as we pulled in the parking lot 3 homeless with all their belongings in garbage bags laying against the fence. A (what had to be a prostitute and her ankle biter dog walking out of the front door. Outside garbage cans overflowed. Broken glass in the lot.
We decided to go in just to check it out. We got our key and went up to the room. The hallway was disgusting lights burnt out and the smoke detector beeping because of no battery I’m assuming. The room was just as bad. Stains all over the sheets. Bathtub looked like it hadn’t been clean in years. The faucet hanging off the wall. We just needed a bed for the night and figured this place would do, but after seeing everything, we decided to drive all the way home.
This was by far the worst place I’ve ever seen. I feel like we took a chance on catching some kind of disease just walking through the front door. I’m not sure how this place is even licensed.

This hotel by any means would be rated less than one star. I was astonished by the fact that Hotels.com would even have such a hotel as this one as a possible place to spend the night the room did not have a coffee pot, a refrigerator, a microwave a hairdryer, or the little extras such as shampoo, hair, conditioner, lotion, or wash rags the hotel advertised free Wi-Fi, but did not have Internet. It advertised the many cable channels it had but not the more popular ones. It advertised free coffee, but it did not matter what time you went into that little alcove there was never any coffee. There was a family staying right above us and you could hear every word and feel the rumble of every jump or the kids running around. You could also hear the TV on in the room next to you. The room also had bugs in the shower in the sink, crawling on the floor and a roach crawling around on the walls. The sink had a leak and all they did was wrap a towel around it.

Not a remote control for the tv.. two times some people tried to open the door, I don’t know why people tried to get in at rooms, if they were guests and only they were at wrong rooms or they were not guests and only tried to go into the rooms.. really I don’t know.. maybe need a little security and more cameras

They kicked out the homeless residents to rent the rooms for the UW Madison graduation weekend. I didn't expect much and was severely dusappountwdcwhen I opened the door to my room to see a person trying to clean out a room stuffed full of \"things\". yiy can't be both taking money from the state to house the homeless and renting rooms to the public when there is high demand amd money to be made. Disgusting.

This was the most disgusting place. There was trash everywhere. Bags in the hallways. We got to our room and it wasn’t even cleaned. Trash everywhere and about 8 punch holes in the bathroom door. Homeless people all over around the front entrance and trash. Smelled of weed through the entire place. I refused to stay and left. And they were charging $250 a night for this.

Stood at desk for 10 or so minutes before he came from a back room area. Got the keys , had to ask where the room was and if there was another door from the parking lot closer to the room. Parked near outside door grabbed me stuff from the car carried it in got to the room and door was wide open no bedding on the bed checked the area for maid but found no one went to the desk waited again before he came from backroom and I asked when the room would be ready and his response was he didn't know because the maid was running behind but was on the first floor now finally. Totally unhelpful and didn't care. I checked in an hour after the check in time and didn't know why he couldn't have said the room wasn't ready instead of handing me keys. I grabbed my stuff and hauled back to the car and went to go eat. When I returned after 730 pm the room was ready then. Also the tub shower could not be turned off completely so water was running in the bathroom all night. Then had to step on the bug that was running around the bathroom floor. Wasn't expecting extravagant for the price but I have stayed at much better and for less price. NEVER AGAIN there!

SUPER SKETCHY - STAY AWAY!!! I booked this hotel for my son and my nephew for a last minute visit to Madison and unfortunately didn't read reviews before doing so.

I had called prior to arrival to request an early check in, but they were unable to accommodate. I asked specifically if they could get in their room if they returned very late, and was told they could as the front desk is staffed 24 hours. When they arrived, they checked on their room & were told they couldn't check in at 2am and would have to come back to check in or their room would be given away. So, back and forth to downtown & more in Uber $$.

While the room appeared clean, the entire hotel stank of cigarettes.

Their Uber driver said he almost didn't accept the fare because it's usually only prostitutes that request them from that hotel.

A homeless man in front of the hotel asked them what they were doing there and said it was sketchy.

When they returned at 2am, their door was open and their bags were missing. They ensured no one was in their room and went to sleep. At 8am they received a call asking if they were supposed to be in that room. The were told they gave them the wrong room and had come and taken their bags out of it. They did get them back before leaving.

There's more but I'm out of space.... RUN THE OTHER WAY!

No idea how ANYONE could give this a good review. While they aren't seeing any signs, Google has reports of bed bugs. Taking precautions to be safe.

You can hear cars in the parking lot playing loud music
You can hear what is going on in the next room
After two nights we left, canceled the third night
Had stayed there twice previously as it was just a place to sleep, amenities were not important. Will not return. No longer just a low cost place to sleep as my wife an I did not get much sleep.

The hotel was pretty run down and wasn’t kept in good shape - one of the beds would lean if you laid on the wrong half, the shower barely drained, there was a hole in the bathroom door, and the hotel strongly smelled of weed. The common areas were also very messy, with debris and even cigarette butts laying on the carpet

Was not thrilled when the first thing that the staff told me when I showed up was that they didn't know what to tell me if there was a problem with the room. Hadn't even checked me in at that time. All exits minus the very front door was locked where I couldn't even go out of to take luggage out. Fire safety hazard

If you just want a cheep place to sleep and are not concerned about other things probably ok place to stay. I like cheap places but this one is below my standards.
