The hotel itself and the staff is amazing! We checked in with no issues. The room is very small, but it’s very clean and cozy. We only stayed for one night and it was perfect! There’s free ice cream which we loved as adults on a weekend getaway. The only issue I guess would be the outside area with a lot of trash everywhere and all around the trash bins. This is near the Ohio State University so lots of college students so it’s kinda expected, but kind of a sore eye. I would still stay here again though. Easy Uber ride to the Nationwide arena and literally you can walk to the Buckeyes Stadium!

This room was tiny, but the property was very interesting. It had lots of spaces to congregate. It was very walkable to the concert and the parking felt safe.

The room was tiny but we knew that going in. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff was super helpful and kind. I would definitely stay there again. It is near the Schottenstein Center so you can just walk there. There is also a free parking garage.

Wonderful hotel, close to the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The only issue we had was finding the place because of the construction.

We stayed here to attend a concert at the Schottenstein Center and this property was a convenient walk. The rooms were clean which is my highest priority. They were small but served the purpose that we needed. Our only complaint is regarding the parking. It was only by blind luck that we even found the enterance to the parking garage. If you have a full size truck, as we do, there are only a handful of parking spots you can use. The ceiling is too low to go to other levels.
