Decent
Pros:

Expectations were met....
Understand that this is a dated property, but if you need to be in this area of town, proximity is key.

Had plans that changed and needed to check out a day early. Staff very helpful in getting that changed and the amount refunded.

I didn't experience any "eewww" moments (roaches, bugs, etc).

Cleaning staff that I passed by at checking out were pleasant and friendly

Cons:

Biggest beef is that I knew what to expect (rougher neighborhood, dated property, no breakfast, no pool), but based on all these factors, the Price per night should be *LOWER* with all these detractors.

I came back to Columbus the next week and chose a different hotel because this one was dirty.
Pros:

I liked that it was very close to the fair grounds. I liked that there was a lot of parking.

Cons:

I don’t ask for much…just cleanliness. I knew the bathroom counters weren’t clean because trash from the previous guest was on the counter (razor piece). There was also hair in the shower.

Not worth the money. False advertising.
Pros:

The AC worked! And the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was dirty. It did not look like the floors in the room had been swept or mopped for weeks. Dead bugs on the floor.
The towels in the room has brown streaks on them.
I chose the hotel as well for continental breakfast. Which this location DOES NOT have.
