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!!!

Nice stay!

We had just arrived to the hotel, checked in and was more than ready to take a break. Unfortunately for us, the elevator broke down and we were stuck. And sadly, stuck with a tired, hungry teething one year old. Four adults stuck in a very warm elevator with a grouchy baby - not fun! The hotel shuttle was great for getting to the concert venue. Breakfast was miserable. The area was staffed by a cranky older lady (shaved head). Numerous kids were wanting waffles and they had removed the batter before the end of the allotted time. When asked if more could be brought out, they got a very nasty, “We’re done with it!” No eggs left, no bread for toast, no yogurt - just gooey oatmeal. Coffee was not just bad - it was awful! The beds were very comfy and, we slept well. It was difficult maintaining a cool temperature. Granddaughter loved the late check out, which allowed her time to spend in the pool! The staff at check in were awesome and very helpful. Overall, a decent stay.

The hotel is clean, rooms are comfortable, everything you need a hotel stay to be. Front desk staff was incredibly helpful, polite, friendly, etc. They have a shuttle to take us to campus so we don’t have to figure out parking for ourselves.
