Had 3 breakfasts here - Ms Mary in the kitchen was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Helped us out, above and beyond, to have an amazing start to our day. Hot, tasty food. Room was large and looked newly renovated. Ms. Barb at the front desk was wonderful, providing us with recommendations for local establishments and making sure we had everything we needed. Pool was... chemically inappropriate. Like, we were nervous to let our kids go back in to it. Shower THOROUGHLY after swimming. Ours eyes were burning, just *sitting* in the pool room. Aside from the pool, a very pleasant stay. The staff really make this place.

Room felt a bit dated, roll away beds (as hotel had been oversold upon our arrival) were miserable … Pool water was so murky, chemical smell overwhelming, peeling ceiling in pool area. Convenient location near OSUs campus but overall, couldn’t wait to leave.

The water in my shower stopped mid shower. Finally came back on. Didn’t drain correctly either. I was standing in about 2-3 inches of water while showering. Finally drain about 20 mins after I got out. Barbie was nice and friendly. Noted my shower issues to notify maintenance.

Loved my stay

The place was super nice. The bed was completely comfortable. My only suggestion is I wish the front desk would ask for ID when giving replacement key cards.
