Buckeye Inn near OSU Medical Center, Columbus OH I-71 — Hotel in Columbus

Oh-no! OYO!||||Great place to stay! (That is, unless safety and cleanliness are high on your list of necessities.)||||Has all the amenities, towels, plumbing, sheets, soap...||The towels were hung up dirty and wet from the last person that stayed there. A toilet, still in its box, was parked in my room. The sheets were FILTHY and the soap was left from who knows when, conveniently left in the soap holder for me. I felt quite special. Oh, by the way, I switched rooms, yet things didn't get better. There was grit in the second tub along with the hand+ me- down soap.||There was a pocket knife and bug killer left in a drawer. The second room was falling in from the ceiling down.||I'm so grateful I was traveling with my own insect spray, pillows and blanket. I set their sheets, blankets and pillows as far away from the bed as I could. I wouldn't touch the bed-skirt. It was, I can only guess, a modern-art like display of blood, cheap wine stains, coffee and cum.||Trash was everywhere in the hall, which had the aroma of reefer mixed with sweaty desperation.||The policy says no pets, but I could smell cat piss. Even if you left your pets behind, you will be bringing some home. (Those aren't apple seeds you see on your mattress.)||||Another patron complained in the morning. The woman at the desk said, and I quote, " You are stupid. If you had a problem last night, you don't get up and tell me about it in the morning. YOU STUPID!" Then she hung up.||||That's true, even after driving twelve hours I complained about my first room and the young man at the desk put me in a different one, which reminded me of an off color joke about the Russian Army:||||Commander Ivan said, "Good news Comrades, today you all get a change of underwear. Sergie, you change with Vlad. Vlad you exchange with Rudolf, Rudolf you switch with Little Rasputin..." and so on. I think you get it.||||||The photos I took will tell the rest...

The staff is very nice and that's the only good thing I can say about this awful place.

The hotel is two different named hotels in one building, connected by an open hall. So, one hall is smoking rooms, and other is non smoking rooms. This results in everything reeking of smoke. It just slams you in the face when you walk in.

The hallways and rooms look fairly clean on first glance; however, when you get in the room, your family of cockroaches is there to greet you. They seem pretty friendly, too. If you're like me, and decide you might be able to live with cockroaches for a little bit to save money, I assure you that it just keeps getting worse and you won't be able to.

The toilets don't flush. Water will pour in to the bowl, and drain out of the bowl, while the toilet paper waves around and stays there.

The stifling heat woke me up after one hour of sleep, so I decided to turn on the air conditioner. That was my last mistake. The entire room filled with this toxic cloud of pot and mold.

I had booked a mystery hotel with hotwire, which is how I ended up here. One picture of my cockroach family got them to call the hotel and work out canceling the rest of the week. Luckily, the staff was very nice and apologetic about all of the horrible things I had just experienced, so I could go have my kid sleep in our cockroach free, pot free, and mold free car while I drove around the rest of the night.

You'll be amazed how much you are willing to spend on a decent hotel after escaping from this place.

A lot of people seemed to live in this hotel and they were also very nice. I feel so bad so anyone that has no choice but to sleep...
