Internet shell I just really liked how clean it was. There was a situation that was going on, but it was very contained so I really don’t even know how whatever was going on turn it off because it was a quiet situation. The breakfast was excellent one of the best The gentlemen at the counter when I checked in was amazing very friendly. It was just a very enjoyable stay I would come again.

10/10 Excellent

We were in town for a concert at the Schottenstein Center, the hotel was very convenient proximity wise and was an easy walk back after the concert. The hotel itself was very nice and clean. I’m not sure if it’s newer or was recently renovated but it really is in great shape. The room we had was spacious and clean and the staff was very nice and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel!

We were very happy with the update hotel, the rooms were nice.
Aaron, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel itself was very good; clean, good service, somewhat friendly. The problem for us was we had to drive to go downtown, to eat in a nice restaurant or go to the soccer stadium. But if that’s not an issue for you, there are food chains nearby and it is a short drive to the city.
