Don't let the exterior of this Motel 6 scare you away. The rooms have been very recently renovated and are actually quite nice. Instead of the ratty carpets that places like this usually have, they had redone our room with that flooring that looks like wood, but is waterproof. They also have very modern furniture, and a much nicer TV than I would've expected.
At the end of the day, we're talking about a Motel 6 in Richfield, Ohio; not the Gansevoort. It's really nice for a Motel 6, though; and probably would've been an OK value at twicewhat we paid.
They also allow dogs, which is the reason we stayed there.
