The hotel was clean and conveniently located to quickly get to downtown Columbus. The 25-yard lap pool was a big plus.

Stuck in the room with nothing to do
I picked the hotel because it was reasonably priced and wasn't too far away from where I was going to be spending a few days (Otterbein University in Westerville). It was easy to find, but when I went to leave to go anyplace, it was a huge nuisance. To top it off, the wireless internet didn't work in my room at all AND 1/2 the television channels didn't function (including ESPN). I was lucky I brought a book to entertain myself. Won't be staying here again for any reason.

promises promises
This place was a joke. They advertise free continental breakfast, only to find out its $3.99. I think I got bitten by something while I was sleeping. and they didn't clean the tub out very good since when I went to fill it up there was black stuff floating in my bath water. The tv station only had 12 stations, of which 2 of them didn't come in at all. and the hallway reeked of cigarette smoke. The front desk when I checked in I asked of a steakhouse in the area, and he kept on pushing their overpriced Thai resturaunt. It was like pulling teeth to get him to tell me how to get to a steak house. I had just ran a marathon and didnt want Thai food, I wanted steak. There isnt much for place to eat around this hotel, therefore I think they think that you will be ok with eating at their resturant. The resturant smells, and is filthy. If you just looking for a place to crash for a night that is what this is. Oh of course unless your homeless they tend to take those people in by the dozen. STay away. got up the road to polaris road there are much nicer places to stay there.

Take I-270 north to I-71. Just a couple of miles up the road will be Polaris Mall. Excellent mall with good dining all around. Polaris Mall is a bit more upscale than most malls, with a little bit for everyone.

Weekend of Shopping
We had a good experience, the room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed having internet access. Overall our stay was great. We would have liked to have free breakfast, there was a fee charged.

Okay
The best part was the location and price. Everything else was ok. Amenities were good--we wanted a place for workout and a pool. Staff left something to be desired.

Business trip
The bed was super super comfy! When you're at a seminar for 13 hours a day, you have to have a comfortable bed! The restaurant and bar was closed, and we didn't try the breakfast, but there was no loud noise and nothing disturbing. Guess they've fixed any issues with that, or perhaps it was just when some reviewers went. We had no problems and felt perfectly safe. Would definitely stay here again, price was better than just about anywhere else we looked at!

Great place to stay in Columbus
Our stay revolved around two marathon events. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The best part was the whirlpool for our runners. The location is perfect for access to highways, restaurants and a grocery store. The fridge and microwave were unexpected surprises. No comment on the breakfast since we're usually on the way to a start line before breakfast begins in most motels. We've stayed in this neighborhood before and this is by far the best choice. We plan to book early for the Nationwide marathon in October.

poor room
the bed was terrible, didnot sleep well. The door to the room had a gap that shone light through all night. I didn't realize that they don't offer a free breakfast, if you want breakfast you have to pay extra! The only good thing was the garden park the desk clerk told us about.
