Comfortable and economical room near downtown.
Pros:

Rooms were small but comfortable, no excess noise, and extremely close to the places we wanted to be (Ohio Theater, COSI and Short North.) Very reasonable cost for a hotel right near where things happen. We would absolutely stay there again.

Cons:

I always prefer a noon check-out time to an 11 AM one, but that's a quibble. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Ok
Pros:

Conviance,

Cons:

There was no pool and room 109 had black mold on the ceiling over the tub. No hair drier , no micro wave. Could also appear to be a drug drop and a escort business!

We did not stay at this hotel.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We did not stay at this hotel. The first room had water on the bathroom floor because the toilet was leaking upon our arrival. The second room we were given has remnants of cigarettes. We asked for a cancellation/refund but were denied since it was booked through a 3rd party.

Cozy enough for the price
Pros:

The room is ideal for the price barely. Facility is good enough.

Cons:

Walking on the floor for a few steps gives me a pair of dirty socks.

Good, but only because I an not demanding
Pros:

The room is not too shabby for me. Rather nice room for my taste.

Cons:

I booked here several times for academic travels. The first time I booked, I got a room with both a fridge and a microwave. The next 2 times, there were no microwave or freidge respectively. This time, there was neither. Several power sockets were broken too.
$100/night is the price of a top-tier hotel in Shanghai near-downtown. And in Ohio I got this. God bless you
