The hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient for downtown Columbus and the Red Nose Half Marathon, but the rooms need serious upgrades. The service was friendly and accommodating, making our stay pleasant. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities were average.

The rooms felt cramped and outdated. The bed was small, and the furnishings made the room even smaller. The cleanliness left much to be desired, but it was a step up from a nearby motel.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though seeming freshly updated, had a strong smell of smoke and mold, which was quite off-putting. The service was attentive but had some misses in terms of replacing towels and washcloths. The location, while still nice, needed significant improvements, and the dining options were quite limited. However, the facilities were satisfactory overall.

My recent stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were well-equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot, but unfortunately, I encountered cockroaches which was unsettling. The service was a bit inconsistent; while some staff members were very helpful and friendly, others did not honor offers or replace items as promised. The location, although nice during the day, was a bit dark and uncomfortable at night with issues like panhandlers in the parking area. The dining experience was average with room for improvement in the menu options. Overall, there were aspects that could be enhanced for a better stay.
