I was in room 311 and I am not sure if someone was marching above me for several hours or if there is a service area up there but kept me awake! Hotel was great otherwise. Right off the highway and close to the Ohio State stadium

To stay at this hotel in the city, put me way out of my comfort zone. Once we were inside and greeted by the staff, I felt a little more comfortable. Our room was nice. My kids enjoyed the pool. It was nice that it was open late. The breakfast was also really good! There was a nice variety of breakfast foods. My family ate really good and they were ready to start the day.

Anonymous, We appreciate the 4 out of 5. Sincerely,

5 out of 5

A good location near highway

Location: Within a couple of miles of OSU main Campus, you have access to every element of the Campus area while conveniently away for the bustle.
Friendly staff and clean rooms. Location is close to highway.

Horrible, will never stay again.

Was charged $60 bc a child dropped a piece of pizza on a pillow and they said it could not be washed out. I was called 25 mins after I checked out. I'm not sure how they had time to wash them and see if it would come out. Wouldn't recommend this hotel if you have children.
