Skylight Motel Franklin OH - Hotel in Franklin - 8500 Claude-Thomas Rd, USA

My experience with this place was so awful and outrageous it sounds made up, and I sincerely wish it was. In August of '21, I stayed there with an ex-boyfriend, *Richard who was a general contractor. The owner, seeing Richard's tools and such, asked him if he would be interested in remodeling/repairing some of the rooms. They were discussing what needed done and costs, and the owner tells him a specific room was priority over everything else, because he planned on using it to film adult entertainment. We laughed, thinking surely he was joking. Not only because of the absurdity, but as nearly every other review states, this place is filthy and falling apart. He goes into graphic detail about intimate encounters he has had with guests, and says if Richard or any other men he knew would be interested in such intimate encounters, they would be paid well. Richard tells him he is not, that's none of our business, he was just getting paid to do a job. When they were negotiating payment, the owner asks us if we like to party, and how he can get any kind of party favors we wanted if we were interested in accepting that as compensation for his work. We decline and say cash/reduced room rates would be fine. As if that wasn't bad enough, Richard turned out to be abusive and was arrested on domestic violence charges against me. After his arrest, my aunt and uncle picked me up to help me calm down and figure out what I was going to do. We went back to the motel to get my things so I could stay with them. They refused to let me in, stating Richard's mother had already gotten our belongings and got a refund for the rest of the week we had paid for. I was in hysterics and my aunt was furious. Police were called, and I was finally allowed in to see if I had any belongings. His mother had taken everything, and I was left with the clothes on my back.

Room smelled of mold and mildew. Roaches in room. Floor was soft in spots. Hole behind toilet ,I was terrified that I was going to see eyes looking at me. Loud noises until 2am or later. Stated they needed paperwork to prove my service dog was really a service dog (which they aren't allowed to do). Looks like they are trying to fix it up. But unless they tear it down and start over and rebuild, I would not recommend.

I paid for a 1 person room for 1 night but when I went to put my roomkey card in the door, there was already people in my room... they stated there was a mess up with their room & they'd been waiting on a manager to take care of them so I could have my room after they had figured out their situation but they weren't leaving that room until a manager came to them with a solution... I had to go back up to the front desk & explain what had just happened which the guy very easily switched me to another room & had it taken care of very quickly. Still a very odd thing that's never happened to me before tho...

Not only was the woman at the desk VERY rude but, knowing we booked & paid for our room online, she told us we needed a $50 CA$H deposit! We don't carry much cash, were NOT told about any deposit prior to checking in & ATMs only dispense in $20 increments, so I offered to pay $40 Cash....and she said NO. This way she gets to deny us the room, keep the money we paid for it while getting to re Rent the room again to someone else and make twice the Money!!! Meanwhile, we had to stay at a friend's, with my son, for the night because these crooks wouldn't allow my $ to be refunded for the room they wouldn't give me over $10 in cash that was just part of an owner inflicted security deposit!!! Don't stay here... they'll take u any way they can and the place is trashed!♣️

Booked my husband a room for one night. He was stopping to see family on his way home. He said it was fairly clean, comfortable bed with no sign of bed bugs, the A/C was super quiet (another place he stayed kept him up all night), the area was quiet, location was convenient to restaurants and the highway.

Even though its said you get what you pay for, I didn't pay for no roaches to be in my room and in the bed with me!! The staff that worked on the property said that the Orkin man comes twice a month but think he sprays sugar so he can come back. There was thumping noises in the room behind me. The same staff member said it was some lady playing her radio although i beg the difference. Immediately upon arriving some girl asked us can she buy two cigarettes for a $1from us. We told her we don't smoke!! He switched us to another room it looked kinda worse than the other one....heater was loud, hole in the bathroom door, i rather had stayed in the other room and looked at "I love Misty" on the other door rather that a whole in the other room door. I got the feeling we didn't belong in that hotel. The person that owns it need to do lots of renovations and watch who he let come there. We won't be returning unless the owner renovates his hotel.

We needed a cheap place to stay halfway on our trip. We booked online in order to get a discount at a sponsored hotel by Wyndom Group. All I can say is stay the heck away from this place! Walked into the room and smelled musty and gross. Bedspread had stains and cigarette burns all over. Now let's talk about bed bugs. The place is infested. We brought none of our belongings in the room. Headed to a laundermat first thing in the morning to use their high heat dryers to hopefully kill anything on the clothes we were wearing and my daughter's special blanket. DO NOT STAY HERE!

I've been staying in this hotel since November or December of last year. I've been in four different rooms since this time and the plumbing from the toilets to hot water or any water in one room. Seen bed bugs in every room except for the one I'm in now they are kicking me out of a day early I've always paid on Friday's and according to them it's starts week $287.21 something like that week. These rooms are not worth that much in any way at all. They just called the cops on me for waiting in a ride to come and get me. Which they know a ride was coming cause they heard me on my speaker talking to my ride to come and get me negative five stars is more appropriate for this place it's a trap. DO NOT COME HERE ALL BAD NOT A GOOD PLACE!!! Not only all but they have also stolen my things she is wearing my jacket right now
