"The room is a bit crowded, but the overall economy is more economical, the bathroom is shared, sleep at night will be affected, the floor will not be cleaned every day, and there are more hair. Breakfast is self-service, you can do it yourself, it is relatively free. The price is reasonable, it is a good choice for short-term travel!"

"The hotel can take guests to the airport for free. The earliest departure is at four in the morning (just make an appointment with the front desk in advance). It is a 5-10 minute drive from the airport, which is very convenient. The room facilities are a bit old but still clean. The reservation showed that breakfast was included, but the front desk informed that breakfast only provided coffee and nothing else. This was inconsistent with the actual situation."

"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."

"Handicap accessible room: A little disappointed: security latch was completely broken off; shower curtain was to short and water would splash out onto floor; shower floor around wall was old and brown looking from either age and/improper cleaning/ shower seat, when folded up was just dirty looking; overall, it is a little outdated and the room just didn’t feel or look clean. Also, breakfast opens at 7:30 am! We needed to be on the road before breakfast is even an option! Not good for those who stay at this hotel for during the week and have time commitments! This was a big negative for us. "

LLynn CurcijaOur experience was a good one. My husband and I commented on the cleanliness of everything! The breakfast was typical but good. The pool/hot tub was on the smaller side, but for us, it was perfect having a 5 year old who loves to swim. I took one star off for amenities due to there being no actual vending machines, but instead, the little ”store” in the lobby, it was a bit overpriced.

JJulie HohlerWe had very noisy neighbors and after listening to them fight until 2am I called the front desk. Front desk person did nothing to help with this situation. At 2:30am I got out of bed and went and asked them to quiet down. Should not have been my responsibility. Also my husband stepped on a piece of glass that was on the floor in our room.

YYUBreakfast is very American, enough to eat, can not be too high, the room is not big, can not be an extra bed, but the bed is very big, big and small, no problem, the air conditioner is cold, but the noise is a bit big, the carpet is a common problem in American hotels. Very close to the airport, free parking. There are gas stations, small convenience stores and burgers in the hotel. The business hours are very long, and it can solve the problem of being hungry.

LLIYANVery pertinent evaluation, the external environment is okay, but the room is very depressive, not ventilated, and the smell of the door is heavy. The indoor furnishings are relatively old, this is normal and acceptable, but the hotel’s hygiene really needs to be improved. The first room arranged by the hotel has hair and small nuts on the sheets, and the bedside tables are also very dirty. Let the front desk at the back. Changed the room, the hotel is not recommended.
