Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was great and perfect for exploring Columbus, the rooms were in poor condition initially. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating, moving me to a better room. Breakfast options were quite limited, which was disappointing. Overall, it had its ups and downs but could be better in several areas.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and smelled of bleach, but there were some drug addicts hanging out outside the facility. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, though a bit slow at times. The location seemed unwelcoming and out of the way. The dining options left much to be desired.
My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms, although clean, large, and comfortable after 2 days without cleaning which we needed, were a highlight. However, the service was not without its hiccups, with some mishaps including being directed to the wrong room, odors of cannabis in the hallways and smokey odors in the room. The location was convenient to campus and fairgrounds but seemed a bit 'sketchy' with an unwelcoming appearance. The dining experience, although with limited breakfast choices, had a waffle and pancake station that exceeded our expectations. Facilities were standard with some minor issues. Overall, the value for money aspect was a bit questionable.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were in desperate need of an update, with peeling wallpaper and stained carpets, but they were clean and nice overall. The area around the building, with garbage everywhere and sketchy-looking individuals at night, was a major downside. The service was pleasant, although there were some oversights, like forgetting coffee supplies. The location was convenient for getting around Columbus, but it felt unwelcoming. The dining options were limited, but having a waffle and pancake station was a small improvement. Overall, the experience was average with some positives and negatives.
