Other than the air conditioning smelling musty and the light bulb being burnt out, it was perfect! The area is safe and within walking distance to OSU. The staff was friendly, and the unique breakfast taking advantage of the attached café, is a significant feature. There are no laundry or fitness facilities, so if you are looking for those amenities should stay elsewhere.

Lovely inn! Exceptionally clean, easy to access from the freeway and very close to the north market (15 minutes on the bus!). The room was so much nicer than I was expecting - honestly, nicest motel type accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. Very clean, massive TV, warm and comfortable bed. Our friend who came to stay in another room also could bring his dogs (for a modest extra fee), which was pretty nice. In the morning they also gave us a coffee and breakfast sandwich, which was generously sized and very tasty! Definitely hope to stay here again - perfect for weekend trips to Columbus.

I was on a business trip to North America. After booking, I discovered the motel was quite basic, with a low room rate and no water. I was thirsty that night and went to buy water next door. When I returned (around 12:00 PM), I saw the door of the room next door open. A couple—the man was black, the woman was white and very sexy—was inside. That wasn't the point. The point was that they were apparently engaging in SM. Yes, they were engaging in SM with the door open. The woman was wearing erotic clothing and high heels, and was standing outside on a chain. They were probably engaging in some kind of exposure. I happened to be walking by and saw them. Curious, I don't usually look at people when I'm out, but what happened? The black man was quite large, probably over 190cm tall. And just because I looked at him for a second, he started hurling obscenities at me. It was truly poor manners. I'm not being ******.

Everything was really quiet and nice until large trucks and truckers arrived around midnight and made a lot of rumbling noise

Overall a good stay, convenient location and nice enough rooms. It definitely smelled like whoever was there before us had smoked in the room. The floors were not as clean as they could have been, but everything else seemed to be clean enough.

Lady at registration was flat, but polite. Clean room with comfortable pillows. Makeup remover wipes at sink were a nice touch.
