This facility exceeded my expectations. Nice accommodations. Was greeted by front desk clerk very nicely. My room was ready and clean. Its appears room has been remodeled and was very nice. Room and linens were clean and amenities were plentiful. I highly recommend this facilty. Folks above me were noisy, sounded like someone drag racing on the street adjacent to the hotel but thats not their fault. To the franchise owner, keep up the good work.

Room was small, but new shower was very nice. Area around the motel was crummy, but location near OSU is good. Only a McDonald's to walk to for breakfast, but OK. We didn't have a microwave or refrigerator because my husband is allergic to pets, so we chose the third floor where pet owners don't stay.

We had tickets to a concert at the Schott and this location was perfect. We were able to walk back and forth to the venue. The hotel staff was phenomenal! So courteous and attentive. The room was clean and ready with all the basic amenities. Great for a quick stay in Columbus. The only drawback was the odd smell of gasoline in the parking lot and on the sidewalk. Not sure what that was from, but it was a strong odor. Otherwise, we had a fantastic experience.
