The hotel room we were given had a toilet leak and the floor was wet and got worse if you flushed. The room was not clean but did have an overwhelming scent of bleach that made our eye burn, it was sooo strong. We were not given the option to move rooms but someone came and put a bucket where the toilet was leaking to keep it from going all over the floor.

Was 2.5 miles from the Ohio convention center. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. I am very happy that pillows were not flat. Good amenities in the room had a microwave and a refrigerator. The water in the shower was hot. Adequate parking right outside the room. Check-in/check out process was very easy. The receptionist had great customer service. Breakfast was from 6:30 AM till 9:30 AM. Included a variety of muffins, danishes bread, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, and hot waffles. Room was quiet and could get a good nights sleep. Nice area easy to navigate.
