Stayed here instead of leaving after an event at the Schottenstein. It’s an easy walk, across the street and then down the street a half mile. So it is a 10 minute walk. Convenient and will stay again. No pool…just fyi.

My sister and I stayed there for a concert and then stayed an extra night. Everyone was super friendly and our room was awesome. The cleaning staff just forgot to give us more coffee so we called the front desk. Within five minutes, it was delivered !!!!

An excellent hotel and a very comfortable stay. Staff was superb and courteous, excellent facilities convenient to university. For me, the only drawback was that parking is available only in an adjacent garage and must be paid for each time you leave and re-enter unless you choose valet parking. nonetheless, this is an outstanding hotel and the parking inconvenience is probably negligible for many.
