The moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with kindness. The seasonal decorations were cheerful and classy. The room was clean with a fun view of the OSU football stadium. I took dinner in the lounge and enjoyed the lively conversation of the bartender with guests ranging from philosophical literature to travel to Vincent Price. The food was delicious btw. In the morning, I went for breakfast at 6:30am, and the young man working in the restaurant was very hospitable and attentive to my early morning coffee and breakfast needs. I would stay again, and I plan to explore other properties.

Room was ok. Paid 160 for no microwave no complementary breakfast. The parking garage is 38 dollars everytime you come and go from the hotel. Next time i go a mile out of downtown for a cheaper price with better parking and better accommodations.
