Pros:

The bathroom was dirty, also there was somebody else’s shirt and pants in the bathroom. There was no iron in the room, also I had to always ask for extra towels and toilet paper. I would not return to that place because the conditions of the bed were also dirty. There was also a lamp and alarm with phone on a nightstand, but nothing was plugged in. The plug was about 5 feet away from the reach to plug-in.

Pros:

I wish I had taken pictures. To say the room was dated would be kind. The bathroom tub was old , rusted and a leaking faucet.
I knew it was. 2* property the bed was clean and comfortable . What was most unsettling was the night staff/early morning man had no people or management skills. There was zero breakfast available , there was a set up but no cups , plates or silverware. No coffeepot, all I wanted was a cup of tea
he said we don’t have any tea. From the looks of it they had nothing. no milk , cream coffee etc.
Asked if there was a charger for my phone I could use for 15 min as mine broke and I needed my phone for GPS. Was told there were none but if he found one in the back it would be a $5 charge to use it. Was not the money it was the principle. I passed. I am an older woman traveling alone for my grandsons graduation if basic training at FT Benning. If you are in a budget and have to cut connor’s try to find alternate lodging if you are alone. It’s a dark and scary place.
They must get a lot of people canceling after check in as there are big signs no refunds after 15 min.

Pros:

The room was not clean. Sparse on towels. No closet. No hair dryer. Pictures made the hotel look much nicer than it was. Only stayed one of our 5 nights due to this and were refused a refund. If you can afford to stay anywhere else, stay there.

Pros:

This property was not maintained properly, it was not clean at all, there were also roaches within the room, the sheets were extremely dirty, I definitely would not recommend this place for anybody to stay at, although the people there were very nice they should definitely not be in the motel business or dealing with customer service

Pros:

Some of the staff is not so friendly but they try to be helpful. My hubby is a joker and one woman was not happy about that. She as rude to him because of it. Besides that the place isn’t bad for price. Pool was nice and hotel seemed pretty clean. We only stayed 2 days.

Pros:

The only reason i gave this place a 1 star was because i didnt have an option to not give it a star at all. The staff was very very friendly but that was the only positive thing I can say about this place. They advertised a pool % hot tub but both were empty and unusable. Their were bugs all over the rooms, only 2 towels per room for 6 people to use. We had a guy who was scopping my 2 daughters out when they were walking into their rooms then 10 minutes later he comes knocking on both our door (unsure what room they were in) (at 11:30) at night asking us help. We reported him to the front desk and nothing was done about it. The whole experience with this place was just overall terrible. I would not recommend it anyone.

Pros:

Out of all of my stays in Columbus, this was, by far, my favorite. They were very accommodating, I got left alone for the duration of my stay, and they even allowed me extra time to check out when I overslept. Kind staff, clean room, pet friendly, and decently priced. I will absolutely be back!
