Since our stay was for only one night as we passed through Columbus, our stay was OK. There was limited parking since this is a downtown location and the surrounding neighborhood was sketchy. But my car was not tampered with. There were a few minor repairs that needed to be made in our room, but the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The lobby and the breakfast areas were very clean and overall excellent. The breakfast food was very good.

We loved the outdoor pool, comfortable beds, yummy breakfast, and how clean it was everywhere. If you can get a room with pool acess, they looked really nice with outdoor tables. It was a perfect first night on our long roadtrip with young kids. The neighborhood was great too.
