Hotel was fine, the location was a big selling point. The rooms were clean, and had been updated in the recent past. The room was functional. There was a charge for self-parking. Except for the common room, the public spaces would benefit from a refreshing update. They seemed dated, a bit worn, but clean. Consider staying here if you want to spend time in the German or Brewery section of Columbus.
