Other than the air conditioning smelling musty and the light bulb being burnt out, it was perfect! The area is safe and within walking distance to OSU. The staff was friendly, and the unique breakfast taking advantage of the attached café, is a significant feature. There are no laundry or fitness facilities, so if you are looking for those amenities should stay elsewhere.

Lovely inn! Exceptionally clean, easy to access from the freeway and very close to the north market (15 minutes on the bus!). The room was so much nicer than I was expecting - honestly, nicest motel type accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. Very clean, massive TV, warm and comfortable bed. Our friend who came to stay in another room also could bring his dogs (for a modest extra fee), which was pretty nice. In the morning they also gave us a coffee and breakfast sandwich, which was generously sized and very tasty! Definitely hope to stay here again - perfect for weekend trips to Columbus.

It was an extremely desolate place. I spent over 3500 RMB for three days there, and I regret booking it so much. It was practically uninhabitable. It was right next to a railway track; at night, the ground shook violently when a train passed. The door opened directly outside, and on the first night, several burly men were playing around nearby, scaring me so much I couldn't sleep. Breakfast was just a hamburger and a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, I had booked three days, so I couldn't change it. I had to leave as soon as I had the last day. Surprisingly, some people praised it! I was moved to tears!

Located near Ohio State University, ideal for those on field trips as it's easily walkable. Breakfast is served at the cafe, consisting of coffee and sandwiches. Simple and reasonably priced compared to nearby hotels.

I was on a business trip to North America. After booking, I discovered the motel was quite basic, with a low room rate and no water. I was thirsty that night and went to buy water next door. When I returned (around 12:00 PM), I saw the door of the room next door open. A couple—the man was black, the woman was white and very sexy—was inside. That wasn't the point. The point was that they were apparently engaging in SM. Yes, they were engaging in SM with the door open. The woman was wearing erotic clothing and high heels, and was standing outside on a chain. They were probably engaging in some kind of exposure. I happened to be walking by and saw them. Curious, I don't usually look at people when I'm out, but what happened? The black man was quite large, probably over 190cm tall. And just because I looked at him for a second, he started hurling obscenities at me. It was truly poor manners. I'm not being ******.

Front desk staff was helpful and the room was pretty clean except the floors. Wore socks the whole stay and they were all black on the bottom after spending only a couple hours a day in the room. In all 4 days we stayed room service did not come even once. Trash piled up in the outside garbage, presumably bc everyone was having to throw their own trash away like we had to. Ran out of towels and soap and asked for service 3 times during our stay and they never came. We had to get everything ourselves which is crazy given they charged double the normal rate for the festival. Felt taken advantage of because of that.
