A little pricey but not awful

The motel room was clean, comfortable, and staff helpful. Coffee maker in room didn’t work, motel did not sell common sundries like aspirin, and no USB charging ports in room. A little overpriced but conveniently located to OSU facilities.

The lady at checkout was incredibly friendly and welcoming, absolutely zero complaints with the service quality. Room was a little small and I was bummed there was no mini-fridge, but overall it was a comfortable stay. I was mainly just there to sleep after going for a night out with a friend in town, and it definitely met my needs. They were doing some renovating, so I'm excited to see what it looks like after the updates if I visit again soon. Vending machines were a little overpriced was my only gripe. $4.50 for a Monster and $2.75 for a thing of crackers is rather steep.
