The things that save this hotel are updated rooms and staff. The property and elevator needs work. The staff is amazing. The breakfast was great with plenty of options.

Hotel is located in a nice area with several bar/restaurant options within walking distance. We have a King room with a couch. It was very spacious. Nice to have a desk and rolling chair to do my work, couch to relax on and a comfortable bed. Breakfast had numerous options including several healthy options. I would stay here again.

Nice big room, with plenty of room to spread out. Great breakfast, with lots of choices, hot and cold. Nice little pool, with a great pool deck. Terrific location: minutes from I-70, yet very nice neighborhood. Next to the German village, with several restaurants/bars within a couple blocks, plus a mini-mart across the street. Less than a half-mile from great running trail along the river. Would definitey stay again.

Pool was small, but clean and maintained. Rooms were clean. Elevator was very small and kind of old. Biggest downside was the lack of available parking. Had to park in a back lot around the corner that had a bunch of broken up asphalt and construction cones and still had to pay $12

This a lovely gem of a place to stay in the German Village area of Columbus. The place is clean, the beds are very comfy, the breakfast is good, and the staff is delightful. After a sub-par home rental experience, this place felt like complete luxury.

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made checking in and out very easy. The beds were clean and comfortable, we didn’t make use of the amenities but they looked great and folks were using the pool. In the morning, the continental breakfast had great options and was a nice perk. The location was convenient and had a lot of bars and restaurants in walking distance. I would definitely stay again!

Everything went great from check in to check out. The humidity seemed really high in the room but it was hot out. Elevator was on the slow side so took the stairs most of the time.
