Condom in bed!

You get what you pay for. At $45 a night you at least expect clean. Pulled down my covers and there was an opened (unused) condom between the sheets! Need I say more? Location was good for why I was staying overnight. The Hotel is a lot more run down than the picture suggests... Both staff members upon check in and check out were very friendly.

Overall a good place

I enjoyed my time at this hotel -- a step up for sure from the 2.5/2.0 star hotels. No second thoughts about taking a bath in the tub. I was hoping for a better/healthier continental breakfast and for a indoor or outdoor swimming pool, but since it was early April it did not really bother me. The room was quiet and clean. The staff was patient and informative. I had no issues or problems while staying there and the maids did not knock on my door before check-out time to clean up my room and bathroom. A fine hotel.

Well the price was right but ...

The price was good. But, kinda scary location, and the details are missed. The room was ok as far as comfort but the mirrors in the room were filthy! Then as early as 8:30am on Saturday the housekeeping men were opening doors to see if you were gone or ready to go. Just weird!!!! None the less it was overnight and that was it. I stay in Columbus from time to time but will not stay again just too creepy for women alone

The Basics

A good basic no-frills motel for a overnight stay. Room was clean and quiet. Plenty of restaurants and shopping close by. Easy on-off I-71.

A pleasant quiet stay

The hotel is conviently closs to the interstate exit.And not to far from the OSU campus where the event for our trip was held. The room was nice and the staff was very courteous. WE appreciated the quiet atmosphere. No traffic noise.

for the money

If you are traveling without family this was okay for the money. It is located right off the freeway and an exit away from the high end hotels and entertainment. Worried about items left in car.
