Red Roof Inn on Olantangy
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean but small room. Comfortable bed

Cons:

There was a snow storm and we were put on the last room on the end. The only elevators were in the center of the motel, All rooms have an outside room entrance. So it was a long very cold walk to get to the room.

Instalações compatíveis com o preço.
Pros:

O atendimento foi bom e fica perto de opções para comer e um posto de combustível com conveniência

Cons:

O Wi-Fi constantemente não estava funcionando, a TV no primeiro quarto não estava funcionando e não tem isolamento acústico. Escutei barulhos de outros quartos e vindos da área comum. E o quarto não estava tão limpo.
