Clean, quiet and comfortable room. The catch with this hotel is you must either park in the parking garage across the street for $20.00 and then drag all of your luggage to the hotel or pay $35.00 for valet parking with in/out privileges.

The perfect place to stay for OSU graduations. Overnight parking one block away for $18. Small marketplace for necessities, lounge area, & restaurant. Varsity pub and breakfast/lunch spot two blocks away. The core DT area was about a 10 min drive. Would not hesitate to recommend.

As the only hotel on the OSU campus, the location could not be better for campus activities. This is purely a location, location, location choice. Can’t beat it for the money. Eat elsewhere. Expect a no frills room and atmosphere. Staff is very helpful. Public parking is right next door. It’s clean and comfortable. In room coffee and mini fridge are most helpful.
