We used this hotel as a home base for an Ohio State orientation. While Hotwire lists it as being near OSU, there are so many other choices in nicer areas closer to campus. Driving there from campus, you will go by blocks of boarded up and condemned buildings. This is not why the bad review, however, I can deal with... More

We had a great time! The hotel is clean, the staff friendly and helpful!! We were particularly happy with the restaurant advice given to us by Karl at the front desk. He was very helpful in any need that we may have had. I was also impressed by how well staffed and how well managed this hotel is. We would... More

As a previous manager manager of hotels, I... More

My fiance and I came to Columbus for a quick one day trip from Cleveland. We had been stuck in traffic for over an hour and were tired and weary, looking for a place to stay. After a round about drive through OSU's campus and downtown, we happened upon this hotel. When we arrive, the desk manager, Karl, was very... More

Was greeted by a very friendly staff person. Check-in went smoothly. East access wifi and a very nice breakfast. Our room was a little dated and will need some cosmetic touchup soon. Seemed to have installed new carpet on the second floor hall.

My husband and I went for a Valentine's weekend. This hotel really made it special. The welcome board in the lobby was very nice. I was greeted as a Priority member and thanked for my loyalty. Trusha was WONDERFUL at check-in. She was very nice and friendly. When she heard it was our Valentine's present to each-other, she upgraded our... More
