Musty and old cigarettes

The smell of the room as soon as we opened the door was like walking into an old musty, smokey bowling alley. Needed a room for the night for a long road trip and this was convenient to the thruway. Staff was efficient only issue was the room itself

We stayed in this location for a couple of nights. For the price, the stay was good, we only wanted to sleep in the hotel and leave during the daytime. However general areas (reception, elevator, etc.) looked run down and somewhat dirty (not well attended). Flies in the room (a first for us in a hotel room.) Beds were fine and bed sheets/towels were good (for the price), but the sofa was dirty and carpet flooring looked pretty stained. Overall it is a 2-3 start at most. The room was quiet though, AC worked great, and staff were friendly. I will stay again at this hotel (price) but I don't think I can convince my wife and kids to join me.

Very good value for a quick overnight stay. We were in town for a show and the hotel was a 10 minute drive away. Staff were friendly and polite, our room was huge, beds clean and comfortable and it was nice to have a hot breakfast in the morning.

Stayed for 3 nights. Room was super cleancand smelled clean. Room was spacious. My room was at the end of the hall and my only complaint with that was that you could hear the doors slam all evening. My knly complaint about the room was the pillows. They were crap. Felt like someone stuffed a medium skzed bag of cotton balls in there and called it a day. Otherwise it was fine. Breakfast was good though.

There was technically nothing wrong with the property. My limited inateractions with the staff were pleasant. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was what i could call a contiental plus...buffet options were limited, but consistent. The only thing is the pool rarely had towles stocked, so we ened up using our room towels and requesting more. The area of the hotel was very urban, but no real food options. We had to drive 8-10 miles for decent optiins But if you do uber eats pr door dash i guess that wont make a big difference.

My son and I stayed here so that we could go to the Ohio State Fair. I loved that we could walk to the fair as it was located just across the street. When we checked in, the lobby looked nice and nothing sounded an alarm. We quickly dropped our stuff in our room and went to the fair. We really didn't check out the room. It was just drop and go. When we got back that evening, it was super late. We found the room to be dirty. The carpet was disgusting. There were hair ties left from previous people on the floor. Things were dusty and greasy. The bed seemed clean but I didn't inspect it too hard because I just didn't want to know. The bathroom had hair on the floor and on the back of the toilet. The tub didn't seem too bad. The sink was ok. The grout was black and there was crud all along the edges of the bathroom, like the dirt had just been pushed to the edges for years. I tolerated it for one night. It was late. We were tired from the fair but we promptly left at 8am. I just wanted to get out of there.
