Buckeye Inn Express

very dirty, and smells bad

After waiting a long time to check in (even with reservation) we were assigned a room. When we entered the room the temperature in the room was very high. When I tried to turn on the air conditioning unit it would not work because the cord was unplugged and the plug was twisted out of shape and would not work. Someone from house cleaning surely would have seen the air conditioner unplugged and found that it was unable to be plugged in.

Room was ok there was definitely a strong smell in the whole hotel though lol also there was no tv in the room

The staff was fine but the place was overall a bit sketchy for me. Maybe it's common in Columbus (first time in the state), but I've never seen so much signage about "no guns" and "if you live within 3 miles you must show proof of needing emergency [housing]". Non-smoking room was less smokey than the rest of the motel, but generally everything smelled like smoke - the lobby was heavy with it as soon as I walked in. The door of my room had graffiti on the inside of it. The toilet had a couple dead bugs. The beds were clean, I looked thoroughly and no signs of bed bugs so that was good. I did kill another bug in the bathroom (Google image search with the photo I took said baby cockroach, but I can't be certain) before choosing to book another spot for the night.I don't normally write negative reviews and am quite tolerant of lower end motel/hotels but this was the first time I've ever had to abort and find a new place to stay for a night. :/

Overbooked (thankfully that was resolved), filthy room ( garbage from previous stay was still in room)and the bathroom kept flooding.
