Stayed here a few times and it’s been great each time. The place is bigger than it looks. The Tavern is great for drinks. The food is also good. It’s convenient to have a bar and restaurant in the hotel. Wish they had a free breakfast, but not a show stopper with how close they are to the OHIO campus.

Checked in and went to room. Industrial fan was blowing on carpet due the excessive water leaking from ceiling. Asked for new room and was told that not only were they sold out but by 10 pm we were the very last people to check in and would not move us. Still waiting over 45 minutes later for maintenance.

Visiting our son in Ohio

Our check in was wonderful, the young man found us a room that gave my handicapped husband the easiest and most direct access to our room from the parking lot. The room meet all his needs except for there was no shower seat for him in the shower.
