If you use hotel websites you can get a room for under $35. And its very unlike motel 6 and knights inn. I won't stay in those because usually the price reflects the clientelle. This is located behind the comfort inn that has the exact same building structure. It is INSIDE ENTRANCE which is a must. The rooms have been... More

Conveniently located near the interstate. A little down in the mouth so to speak. The worst thing about it was the dusty room. The lampshades and picture frames very dusty as well as the mirrors and picture glass. The bathroom was clean with a new tub and water was plentiful and hot. The breakfast room was just very uninviting and... More

My friends and I were there visitng the attractions in Columbus and the hotel staff was very friendly. They were close to the zoo and ohio state fairgrounds. The rooms were very clean and safe area, they have 24/7 receptionist and video survelliance. I would recommend it to anyone for any purpose of trip. More

The hotel was a good price. The room was big enough but it had a musty smell and overall seemed old and grimy but I couldn't pinpoint anything "dirty" if that makes sense. The staff was nice and the location was where we needed to be. I'd stay here again if I was looking for an average hotel and was... More

Sketchy location, right off the highway, but definitely not somewhere I'd want to stay for a long time. Front desk person could not possibly care less. Room was clean and just okay. This is LOW budget travel. NO elevator. Be prepared to drag your stuff up the stairs. Doubles are full size beds, not queens. Tough parking when coming in... More

I found this place online, because of the great price for a one night stay. So...I looked up all the reviews I could online about it. Found out it was a former HI Express, that I had stayed at in 2005. I remembered it as very clean and nice stay. Well, we get to the hotel and check in.....There were... More

I was a walk-in guest at this property for what was supposed to be a two night stay. It was later extended to a three night visit. The section of town that it's located in is rife with hotels/motels, strip malls and lots of traffic. It was immediately off of the interstate. Properties in these locations generally make me wary...

I stayed at the hotel for one night. Being someone who usually goes for the cheapest hotels when traveling on personal time, which is quite often, I've seen my share of good and bad low priced hotels. Compared to most, this hotel was very clean, the room was free of any weird smells and there were not any loud noises... More
