The room was ok but long overdue for updating. The lobby was recently updated, but very tacky and cheap. The bathroom was very dirty. This property did not live up to the standards of Holiday Inn.
The property appeared nice but since they gave our room to someone else we could not stay. They gave us no explanation. Just said they had no rooms.
IT was clean and friendly.
When you walked into the hotel it just looked inviting. There were a couple of private seating areas, which was great. I love that there was a walking trail right outside. And the front staff was so wonderful. They do the pool and fitness room by reservation, but the pool was not filled. When we came back an hour later it was being filled and I think a family was coming down to enjoy it. But when we first got in I had been driving for 7 hours and needed the bathroom. I got into our room and there was no toilet paper at all on the holder. There wasn’t a spare anywhere. It was like 2020 all over again! I’m glad I wasn’t alone so they could get me toilet paper at the front desk. There was also a weird smell like sweat or mildew in the bathroom. It is fine. Finally after coming back from dinner I found it was from the curtains. We brought a diffuser on our trip so the smell wasn’t an issue. The bathroom light was out in one of the sconces. We just passed it on. Those were 3 minor imperfections easily fixed. But the kindness of the staff, the quiet rooms, the clean smell in the common areas, the layout of the common areas, and the continued hot breakfast (though limited) are great reasons to come and stay at this hotel.
Close to OSU and a good value for the money. Only issue this time, we were on the seventh floor and had issues with water pressure.
The hotel was pleasant. They should have mentioned that the pool was not available as I had booked this planning to use the pool, so I was disappointed. They did offer an alternate hotels pool to use but it’s February and way inconvenient to do that. Breakfast was great, good choices. Front desk staff was nice organized and pleasant. Checkout was a breeze.
It is a clean hotel with friendly staff and offered free breakfast, but it is a bit tired looking and the location can be noisy so I would suggest a reservation for a room in the back of the hotel.
Good location when visiting the Ohio State Campus. Quiet location and the hotel provides a good breakfast in the morning.
Close to the university but far enough away too. Staff was friendly
Great location for The Schott. Hotel was clean and staff was friendly.
The pool was full. There was a party with around 30 kids, many drunk adults and fighting happening. We took our kids out of the water to keep them safe. The halls were full of water and carpets too. It was very slippery. We were very upset about our stay.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Easy to get to.

HI Chris, you are indeed correct, the hotel is very nice ,and unfortunately your credit card declined a few times when we tried to run it, We even tried to call you regarding this to no avail, on sold out weekends, we can not unfortunately hold rooms with an invalid credit card.
