As unbelievable as it sounds, the front desk lady at this motel gave a homeless person a key to our room and he robbed us. She never apologized and the manager avoided us. Motel 6 still has not reimbursed us for our stolen posessions even though they have video footage or her doing so and records of cutting a new key and having him open our room. So, if you want to stay somewhere that doesn't even check your ID to hand out free keys, this is the place! Even if your experience isn't as bad as ours, the cop that was put onto our case said they are called over there regularly due to the drug use of people staying over there. Bottom line - don't stay here. I guarantee that any other motel would be better. We are still dealing with the hassle of trying to get compensated and trying to settle the courtcase.

I chose to stay at the Motel 6 in Madison due to its location to the highway and to the relative cheapness of the one night stay. I say this so you can keep in mind that I knew that it was not the 'nicest place.' I was in the room for a couple hours, after having left for a bite to eat when I went to throw something out and I spotted a dirty condom and wrapper in the trash. I called the manager on duty, Andy, and he didn't say anything when I explained what I found. He explained that he knew that the room had been cleaned because he heard the vacuum earlier that day. I only received an apology when I explained that I cannot believe that the room is clean if his standard of clean is a dirty condom in the room. He then went on to say that it is quite 'suspicious' that I had been in the room for 3 hours and only now I found the item. So, after being accused of being a liar and a tramp, I requested a refund and said that I would prefer to finish the last 5 hours of my 16 hour drive than to spend the night in the dirty hotel. Andy informed me that he needed to 'check out my room.' I was disgusted by the 'cleanliness' of the room and the unprofessional behavior of the manager. I also filled out a complaint form online at Motel 6.com of which did not seem to make an impact on the higher management of this corporation. Don't use Motel 6...there is getting what you paid for and then there are establishments that should just be shut down...like Motel 6!

Please avoid this hotel. It is the single worst place I have ever checked in to. It is unkempt, loud, drug-riddled, and overflowing with prostitutes. I really felt a great saddness for those whose lives led them to this place. The frightening thing is: it doesn't look that bad from the exterior. Inside it is something of a Dickensian nightmare. There is no way that I would allow anyone I cared for to stay in such a place.

Dirty, Smelly, The floors were nasty, One of the light sockets in the room waS JUST HANGING LOOSE. The tub was built up so high that you almost needed a step lader to get out of the shower and there were no hand rails to use for balance. I am sure if the room were inspected the whole building would be shut down. Do not even think of using the pool.... water was cloudy you could not even see the bottom of the pool. after we left we checked into our next hotel early so we could re-shower
