Parking lot was well lit. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very nice. Check-in was very easy and quick. I did pay extra for a larger room and free snacks. I don’t know if the room is larger, but I did NOT receive any free snacks. And the Wi-Fi did not work the entire time I was there, which made it hard for me to work. I had to use my limited hotspot and had to go elsewhere to complete things for my job.

This facility exceeded my expectations. Nice accommodations. Was greeted by front desk clerk very nicely. My room was ready and clean. Its appears room has been remodeled and was very nice. Room and linens were clean and amenities were plentiful. I highly recommend this facilty. Folks above me were noisy, sounded like someone drag racing on the street adjacent to the hotel but thats not their fault. To the franchise owner, keep up the good work.

We had tickets to a concert at the Schott and this location was perfect. We were able to walk back and forth to the venue. The hotel staff was phenomenal! So courteous and attentive. The room was clean and ready with all the basic amenities. Great for a quick stay in Columbus. The only drawback was the odd smell of gasoline in the parking lot and on the sidewalk. Not sure what that was from, but it was a strong odor. Otherwise, we had a fantastic experience.
