      I love where this is located!! Hidden in the middle of the city! I lived in Columbus for 30 years and didn't know this hotel was there. Nice place. The only bad thing was the driveway/entrance. Almost took out the enitre front of my car with a HUGE pothole!

    We were very pleased with your accommodations! For the reasonable price to stay one night the room was spacious, the bathroom was large and the bed was... very comfortable. Also, we were very impressed with how quiet our room was. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The motel is located next to a reasonably priced restaurant and you can get to any place in Columbus quickly from this location. by Ginger  from northwest Ohio on 05/06/13

    Hotel is fine in a ok area and close to campus, short north and downtown. Front Desk staff was rude and could not find my reservation and didn't even look. I had to call Hotels.com and they had to call him but he didn't answer. Hotels.com was great in their help. I'd stay again if I had no other options. Its a old cross country Inn very much like a […] red roof inn. There is a new Springhill next door and I found myself wishing I had stayed there. Read more

    NOISE, NOISE, NOISE!! From the train, people walking above, plumbing, refrigerator in room, heater going on and off, and ALL the people outside the door. With this hotel with doors to parking lot, you hear all the neighbors getting in and out of their cars, opening their room doors and honking horns when they turn their alarms on the cars on/off. Then […] the staff is nice but have no idea of service. I waited over 15 minutes to check-in (a 2 minute operation to get my key and info) while he constantly answered the phone instead of putting them on hold. The room is very average. Towels are like shop towels. Bed was hard. TV was small. Only good thing was location which is right next to tOSU and a few restaurants. Read more

    We were in town for a concert, and this was less than a mile away from the Schottenstein Center, which was a plus. I felt that it was a bit overpriced for the quality and condition of the room. Having the smoker in my group was not a problem because he could step right outside for a smoke. There are all the basic amenities located close by.

    Gross shower - one of those thousand-leggers was crawling around in it as the shower head dripped on a rusty drain. We found one of the soaps already open and a half-drunk glass of water when we first entered the room. Three of us checked in and found two towels. The towels were undersized and paper-thin. Staff was nice but unresponsive. Freight trains […] rumbled by less than 100 feet from the door. It was fairly close to Ohio State, which was why we chose it, but there HAS to be a nicer place just as close. Unacceptable. Read more
