Olentangy Motor Inn

Olentangy Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The free breakfast was actually better than i expected. I liked the firmness of the bed, used to sleeping with a weighted blanket so a heavier topper would have been nice but over all a great experience. Wish some of this pillows had been a little softer. Plenty of towels. The make up wipes were huge plus! Great TV"
