Excellent location downtown Columbus with easy parking spot. Staff was very friendly. Patches on the ceilings, dusty lamp, hair on bathroom walls and musty smell like if there were dirty socks somewhere.

Overall everything was good, the biggest issue is the advertisement, said breakfast included. And that was mother case. Hotel, nor what those dot com were willing to fix the mistake.
