I was the ultimate in disappointed with this hotel. First of all its not at the fair grounds. Don't know how they do it but the GPS search placed it in the Clarion's parking lot across the street from the fair grounds. The hotel is actually a nine mile drive north of the fair grounds. I requested a ground floor... More

For the price you can't really beat it. The bed and furniture is modern and our room was clean. We tried the fitness room which was great, but they didn't have cleaning supplies to wipe down the machines which would have been nice. Only major complaint is the TVs were laggy. Nice staff & good value.

I didn't care for this hotel. The bathroom smelled musty. I think it may have been the shower curain, but I'm not sure. The towels where thin and they didn't leave enough large towels. The grout or something around the faucet was crumbly. There was a blow dryer which looks like it hadn't been wiped off in years. It was... More

I stayed here while enroute to my vacation. It's not in a swanky part of town but the price reflects that. And for me this wasn't my destination place so I didn't need all the amenities close at hand. My check-in was smooth, the desk clerk was friendly and professional, the Wi-fi worked well, the room was clean and had... More

When I first got to town for work. I noticed all the hotels were higher priced than other states. But, the hotels that Ive been to in columbus were terrible. They werent clean, they smelled like smoke and they were not worth the money. I started getting depressed thinking it would not be a good stay until I found this... More

Stayed at this property March 1-3 as we were in town for the 2013 Arnold Classic. Room was comfortable and clean and for the price I paid from Hotwire $33 a night, it was perfect. Fridge, microwave, wifi in room. Overall very good with easy access to the highway and 10 minutes to downtown.

I stayed at this hotel for a week and a half in September 2012. The staff is pretty friendly and maid service is okay. The free breakfast could use some help. It is not always ready at 6:30am as promised. The location is very convenient. The main issue with this hotel is they have a chain of break-ins. I had... More
