Great staff and wonderful stay.
Pros:

Staff was great, breakfast was wonderful. Room was comfortable.

Cons:

It is weird that there are no bars within walking distance of the hotel. It seems like the hotel possibly used to have a bar onsite, but that was not open.

Pros:

Our event was at the Schott and the hotel was just about a miles walk down the road. We were able to get the hotel shuttle to our event and walk back to the hotel from the event (because the shuttle stopped giving rides back to the hotel at 1030p). The beds in our room were like any other hotel bed, pretty firm.

Cons:

Nothing I didn’t like

Above and beyond!
Pros:

I liked how close it was to Ohio Stadium.

Cons:

The room was clean, the staff was very helpful, and friendly. They were especially helpful when I had an issue with a double charge on my card. Even the inconvenience of the issue was made hassle free by the wonderful staff. Excellent customer service!

Extremely over priced for a bare bones hotel with no life, no bar, terrible coffee and breakfast
Pros:

Free Parking

Cons:

Lifeless , characterless even on OSU graduation weekend. This is not how it was previously. Looks like they’ve stripped this bare. Even the bar was closed on Saturday night before graduation day.
