“Amazing for the price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011 via mobile

If you use hotel websites you can get a room for under $35. And its very unlike motel 6 and knights inn. I won't stay in those because usually the price reflects the clientelle. This is located behind the comfort inn that has the exact same building structure. It is INSIDE ENTRANCE which is a must. The rooms have been remodeled and have a decor that is more upscale offering a chaise and ottoman in king rooms. We have stayed here about 8 times and it's very consistent. The only thing that I would mention is in the winter there is no heat in the hallways but you just have to hurry into your room. I would strongly suggest parking on the front of the building even if you can't see your car because they have bright flood lights and you feel more secure versus the back where there are only two dimmer street lights. Also a lot of people think the staff is rude. Thr daytime man is middle eastern descent and the nighttime is a man from new jersey. Its just their personalities and there dialect. Give it a chance as the rooms are definitely more impressive than the exterior appearance.

“Not Too Bad - Good Value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

Conveniently located near the interstate. A little down in the mouth so to speak. The worst thing about it was the dusty room. The lampshades and picture frames very dusty as well as the mirrors and picture glass. The bathroom was clean with a new tub and water was plentiful and hot. The breakfast room was just very uninviting and dreary. Not what you want to wake up to but the coffee was fine. Rolls, toast, bagels and that was about it. No peanut butter just jelly offered. But all in all the price was very reasonable and I got a good night's sleep. The staff was helpful and friendly.

My friends and I were there visitng the attractions in Columbus and the hotel staff was very friendly. They were close to the zoo and ohio state fairgrounds. The rooms were very clean and safe area, they have 24/7 receptionist and video survelliance. I would recommend it to anyone for any purpose of trip.

“Just O.K.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

The hotel was a good price. The room was big enough but it had a musty smell and overall seemed old and grimy but I couldn't pinpoint anything "dirty" if that makes sense.

The staff was nice and the location was where we needed to be.

I'd stay here again if I was looking for an average hotel and was wanting to pay a little less than some of the nicer chains.
