The rooms are in need of updating especially the bathroom. More importantly, I requested room service the day before and in the morning. I came back to hotel to drop stuff off in room. The room was not cleaned. I went to front desk and again requested room service. The front desk clerk stated he would have it cleaned. We came back later that eventing to an unclean room. When I went down to ask why and to a minimum get fresh towels the Same front desk clerk told me that the cleaning crew had left before I went to front desk. I asked why he would straight out say the room would be cleaned when he knew what time they left . I got a blank noninterested and IDGAF look. Why would he straight out lie to me. As he dismissed me, I said I still need 4 sets fresh towels. He gave me two bath towels, no hand towels or wash cloths. I just looked at him in serious disbelief and walked away.

We stayed here for a night and honestly it was better than we expected. The location is really good. Walkable to downtown. We went for a soccer game and the stadiums are not far. We walked there and everything was fine. Safe area and the room was really clean. If I came to Columbus again, I would definitely look at this Hotel.

It Is What It Is

It has been a while since we stayed here, and it was the cheapest option for a brief overnight visit while we went to a game in town. The rooms are very dark and turning on the lights barely helps. Check-in was incredibly slow and watch for the hidden "safe fee", be sure to tell them at checkout that you did not use it so you get your money back. They definitely raised the parking rate from last time we were here, it is $19 a night now and honestly, that is just a couple bucks under the valet fees of local competitors, where you can stay with more amenities for not that much more per night as well. Overall, the stay was fine, the rooms were clean, and we like the area. I would just seriously weigh all of the options before outwardly picking this hotel versus others in the area.

Kyle, Saint Louis Park

I think this place desperately needs to replace their door lock system, and to more fully staff their front desk. The keycards to our doors stopped working multiple times, which caused us to have to go to the front desk. There was usually one person working the front desk, with a long line (not a fun thing to wait in at 11pm). When asking for a new keycard, they never confirmed our identity (any of the times we went to get a new card) with the exception of one time (remember, the key cards stopped working many times). So, this made us concerned for the security and safety of the place. The hotel it self was fine, and I would only suggest staying here is funds are low and their price point is low. Also, I have not received an itemized receipt and was charged some things twice, so now I need to investigate to make sure I was properly charged. In short, this place was more work than it was relaxing.

Wouldn't say it was a great place to stay for the price. Room wasn't very clean. AC never really got cold. Was noisey in the morning with traffic and a parking lot right outside the window. Parking across the street costs an additional $19. Overall just lacked amenities for the cost.
