Nice hotel near OSU.

Comfortable beds and pillows. Looks like a new renovation with new carpets and walk-in shower. Would love to see something besides plastic cups to use in the room. Desk clerk at check-in was the nicest young man. Really enjoyed our brief chat. Driveway has a couple of large potholes. Watch out.

The staff were all so friendly, kind, and helpful! The room was clean and quiet. The pool was enjoyable. The breakfast was fantastic. If we are in the area again, we will most definitely stay here again. HIGHLY recommended! There’s also a free shuttle service for within 5 miles of the hotel - a huge plus!!! I really can’t say enough about the evening staff on 8/31 and the morning staff of 9/1. They made staying there so worthwhile. Thank you all for your kind hospitality!!!
