“If you're looking for cheap and clean, this is not a bad place to end up”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2010

This isn't the best hotel at this exit, but if you're looking for cheap and clean, this really isn't a bad choice. I blind booked this hotel through Hotwire, and was expecting the worst. Hotwire labeled this a 2*, on par with a Baymont or Super 8. I was skeptical, because I have always had lousy experiences at Econo Lodges, but this place was a pleasant surprise.

The hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance of many decent restaurants. The doors on the bottom floored rooms open to the outside, and the upstairs rooms have doors that open to an indoor hallway. At check-in, the clerk misunderstood that Hotwire is prepay, but we were able to clear things up.

The interior was well worn, but clean. I could tell that the walls had a fresh coat of paint, which perhaps was hiding the dirt and grime that previous reviewers had witnessed. However, the carpets. although old and worn, were clean.

The bed was comfortable, and the fridge was handy. Overall, I got a good night's sleep. This hotel is not for everyone. I would recommend this hotel to a person with very specific needs - cheap and clean. Otherwise, one could spend a few bucks more and feel a bit more comfortable.

“So-so rooms -- with poor service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2009

Not that I was expecting a three-star place, but... what began as a fair price became too high when I asked for an extra set of towels so a family member could stop in and use the shower before a funeral. The clerk (Tina) was robotic and argumentative to the point of compulsiveness -- she insisted on charging me $10 more for an extra towel which they never did provide. Later, they gave family members of mine a key to the room without asking their names or checking i.d. -- a security risk. And there was not a proper ironing board with floor-length legs available, which I have come to expect as standard in every room at an Econo Lodge type place. One more thing -- my room was ice cold when I checked in at 7:00pm. They had not turned the heat on for me.

Aside from all that, the location was convenient to the highways and stores, and right adjacent to a tasty Italian restaurant. The room was clean,and that's saying something when you're going for a budget-friendly stay. And the clerk who checked me in was a nice guy -- though he said he was not a regular staff member there.

“Cheap & cheerful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2009

I stay here about 12 times a year. The place is old, needs a major renovation to the hallways; but is clean, and very inexpensive for a very nice neighborhhood. Free breakfast of coffee and muffins. Free Wi-fi. And all for around $40.

If you are the kind of person who can detect a pea under the mattress, don't bother. If you want the best hotel in Columbus for under $50 (with taxes) - this is it.

“Right Price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2008

The price is right for this property. Other than some mold in the shower and dust on the inside of the bedspread, the hotel room was adequate, had new paint, and had lots of TV channels. The heater works great on cold nights, and the bed is comfortable. Nice place to stay in the area for this price, although the hotel taxes are a bit high.

“Clean is not here.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2008

Priced right but needs alot of cleaning of walls and new paint. From the moment you enter the hallway you realize that there will be a problem with the room. Bathroom looked new, however the walls are very dirty.
Asked for a non smoking room in request, and did not get. Room smelled like an old ashtray.
Very nice community, with a little work and elbow grease the hotel could be pretty nice.
Management no help with complaints.
