The room was okay with the exception of the super sticky floor. You needed to wear shoes at all times when walking through the room. The outside was absolutely horrible. Dirty drug needles in the “landscaped” areas. There’s no way that I’d ever feel safe there alone. People were up and down the sidewalks yelling and carrying on. Not a safe place!

I believe they are used to house the homeless, there was evidence of this in the trash recepticals and by the generally unkempt people that were loitering around. It's an 'industrial' area, the local supermarket clerk advised us against walking in the area after dark. TV and telephone were inoperable, since we came back at about midnight from the OSU game, we were able to sleep, but I'll never use this establishment again.

The tub was weird & noisy Fiberglas. What I really didn't like is that I paid for the room on my hotels.com account and was charged by the hotel as well ( they later refunded it) but only after I complained. How often do they do this is my question??? The hotel also refused to give me a receipt when I checked out since I had booked with a third party site.
