Good option for the price range. You could do better, But you could do a whole lot worse. In New York It’s a five, but in Ohio it’s a solid nine.

Great stay-- 2 days

This hotel staff are above and beyond. The room was super clean. The staff were very professional and nice. The pool was awesome. Breakfast was great and clean. The cleaner came by to ask if we needed fresh towels. I would def recommend this hotel. I read mixed reviews before I stayed here about the neighborhood or hard beds. The beds were fine and the neighborhood was close to where we had to be so, it was great. I didnt see any issue with location anyhow.

Breakfast option was good for the type of class the hotel is rated for. The bed was comfortable and nice. Noise level was high due to upstairs guest was stumping around not thinking about the time of the night (2 am!) Informed the front desk staff and it got better. Overall it was good for one night stay

The property was in a bad part of town, it was dirty and run-down and the Uber driver told me that un-housed people live there for long periods of time. Not that I'm against un-housed people but it can degrade the reputation of a place to vacation!

The property is very convenient to campus and a great value. However, surrounding the property are warehouses and the roads are in bad condition and you see some “loitering” types of people hanging out at the motel just next door. Be very aware of who is in the parking lot before you get out of your car to walk in. That said, there were a bunch of families with kids and nobody staying at this property seemed shady or scary.
