Convenient option for a short stay around OSU
Pros:

It's near the route 1 bus stop for going to OSU campus. There are 3 fast food places, 1 good Chinese restaurant and a convenience store nearby. The front desk staff is polite and warm.

Cons:

The sink in my room is partially clogged, causing the water to go down very slowly.

Good value for money, newly refurbished, great location and very welcoming staff
Pros:

The room was newely refurbished, so it was in very good condition. The shower was great!!
The staff was very welcoming. It is at a great location, very close to OSU campus, easy to drive or to use to public transportation. Plenty of restaurants around.

Cons:

I wish there was a microwave or a fridge like in other budget hotels, but there are plenty of places to eat around and they do have a coffee machine. I could use a faster, non-public internet connection, but it was similar to other budget hotels.

comfortable, perfect location and value, kind staff! Keep up the great work!
Pros:

stayed before renovations so difference is noticeable—lighting on outside at night very beneficial and safe, clean, great location for what we need, on bus line so cheaper alternative to driving or uber/lyft if needed as an option. clean lobby and great parking!

Cons:

before renovations was kind of meh, but really made it a great value for money and upgraded king bedding…I slept so well! was such an upgrade from before renovations, couldn’t find anything I did not like.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The air condition was not working correctly. The air ran for a liitle bit then shut off and during the night it never came back on and the room was hot. The towels in the bathroom were stained. The beds were very hard, felt like sleeping on the floor.

Never again
Pros:

The rooms in the picture is nothing like what we got. If we would not have had to be at the hospital we would have moved on down the road

Cons:

It was noisy, no one came to windows when checking out, when we go to bed the lights shine in around the door and windows, was able to get 2 hrs of sleep before having my husband to hospital for a all day surgery and stay over went back to room to try and sleep second night and bam 3 hrs then back up to hospital to travel 3 hrs back home, room was dirty and for a smoke free place let's say its not working for them
