We walked in the main lobby and it immediately smelled like weed. Had we not prepaid, we would’ve turned around and walked out. The location is excellent. Right off the interstate with tons of restaurants and shops around. But there are lots of other hotels there that probably don’t smell like a Grateful Dead concert. It’s an extended stay hotel, so probably should’ve been a sign that people live there and feel more comfortable doing recreational habits.

Bruce

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It is close to restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, big chains and smaller stores. Easy freeway access to 71. The room was good and well-appointed. I like the larger bottles of soap, conditioner, etc., instead of those tiny one-use items. It seems so much more eco-friendly. All the staff I spoke with were amazingly friendly and helpful. There was a noisy room near mine. At midnight to 1 or 2am, walls and stomping and my pans rattling. I dont know where it came from. After they left, it was very quiet. There was also a shop in the lobby for some food items. I would choose thise hotel and location again.

I usually stay here when in Columbus our room did not have the amount of towels and things we needed and the dish washer was full of dirty dishes from the previous stay. Room was not as clean as it should be with crumbs under the table and and the room did not look vacuumed or swept.
