Like staying in a garbage dump
Pros:

Location to Purdue University

Cons:

Where do I start? This was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at in my life and I am 58 years old. The floors were so dirty that the bottom of my feet turned black. The room smelled like someone had just been smoking in it. The white towels were barely white because they were so covered in black stains as were the white/black sheets. There was no shampoo or toiletries. There is no way to adequately describe how dirty the place was. Obviously the ownership could not care less and took no pride in their hotel because they know people will come and stay because they need a room for Purdue events. It was not exactly cheap for the weekend either. I have stayed in hotels at half the price that were a paradise compared to this. Shame for even offering this is an option for a hotel stay.

Ein sehr unangenehmer und unhygienischer Aufenthalt – absolut nicht zu empfehlen.
Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr schmutzig – der Boden war klebrig, die Bettwäsche wirkte nicht frisch und im Zimmer waren sogar Tiere (vermutlich Insekten). Die Dusche war extrem ekelhaft, schmutzig und wirkte lange nicht gereinigt. Insgesamt war der Zustand der Unterkunft unhygienisch und unangenehm.

Pros:

I made a confirmed reservation on Expedia for $78.52/night, however when I arrived on 8/17/2025, the hotel insisted that they didn’t have any of my Expedia booking information, I ended up paying $195.99/night, on the spot, almost 250% more. Not sure what's going between Expedia and Motel 6, it is a quite bad customer experience, appears to be a price gorging.

Pros:

The property was an average Motel 6; it was the only choice when every other hotel in the area was sold out. We needed a place to stay (Purdue Football Weekend), so we went with Motel 6. The room was tidy, yet worn and dirty. The floor had been mopped with dirty water and left to dry. Bugs appeared occasionally, etc. However, the price for the weekend skyrocketed to almost $200 a night!

Pros:

The floors were absolutly filthy (my blue socks were black on the bottom and my sons legs were filthy within 20 mins ), we did not have any towels in our room, our key stopped working, and shower/bathroom faucets were rusty.
One of the front desk staff members was extremely friendly/nice/ great energy but then the front desk staff member the next day was thr opposite :/
