The worst

The hotel overbooked and when I arrived I was told my room was not available. Instead of assisting they told me that I needed to find my own lodging, even thought it was 10 pm. The general manager was no help and I was told that he was sleeping and had to be woken up. Will never stay at a staybridge suite again.

Very nice hotel, clean, comfortable, very friendly staff. The only thing is the shower door opened toward the sink making it awkward to maneuver in the bathroom. Not management’s fault. We highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel and property was very nice. The hotel itself was excellent. However, i am not sure where to place blame. Upon arrival I was told i did not have a reservation and after further investigation was told my reservation were canceled. I did not received any type of notification that my reservation was canceled. I had booked online and was given the opportunity to pay upon arrival on Sunday day of my stay, however, hotel canceled on Saturday as per the hotel wasn't sure i was coming. Now, correct me if im wrong, but shouldn't that happen on Sunday not the day i wasn't scheduled to be here. Make it make sense

The pull out mattress was a bit nasty. Other than that it was an ok stay. The customer service was excellent! I wish i would've gotten her name but the older lady at the front desk was top notch in my opinion. Extremely helpful and nice. I appreciate it. It was our 1st trip to Ohio and she helped make it a good trip. Thank you.

Nice hotel but rip off for parking on game day!

Our room was clean and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was good as well My only complaint was the cost of parking on game day! $40 cash when your staying at the hotel is a rip off. You can park much closer for 1/3 to half the price. Parking right down the street by McDonald's is only $20.

Comfortable

Check in was easy, room was comfortable. We had an issue with the only light in the shower/toilet room was out and new lightbulb couldn’t be found. It was late and no maintenance staff. Lamp was brought in with extension cord so we had light in there. Just not sure how housekeeping staff could miss the light not working when they cleaned in there.
