Should be cheaper for the quality of hotel, beds, updates. Bathroom door wouldnt even close because door handle and where it is attached is broken. Obviously, everyone raises their prices for OSU home games but still. Could use some updating.

The place is a dump

This hotel is a dump. It needs updating, cleaning, better beds and pillows etc.
Craig, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Bad service! Not following up on promised and fixing problem! Not concerned with guest well being as long as charging guests amounts on credit card!
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very nice, close to everything we needed it to be and had zero issues
Dillon, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid

This place smells and has mold and bugs. If you must stay here, check ALL of the sheets and bring air freshener. I'm currently fighting them for a refund because they claim they tried everything. It's just a gross motel and the makeshift bulletproof glass in the lobby should tell you all you need to know.

My room was quiet, lean and very convenient. The location seemed to be centrally located and I was near all of the right places which was tine saving. The shower and resrroom was very clean and there. Was no loud noise around me so I was able to get good rest. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Great job. 👍
