Olentangy Motor Inn

Everything's you need and comfortable for a one night stay

Always pleased with the location and cleanliness of the Olentangy. The free parking is certainly a plus.

Staff were super friendly. It would have been nice to know that the room came with a free breakfast sandwich and coffee each day. The staff who do check in/check out are also the coffee shop baristas. So when I told them I had no shower gel at 7AM they were flat out serving other and weren't able to address my problem. Fridge in my room made a loud squealing sound. I simply unplugged it. Huge shout out to the individual who answered questions about walking along the river early morning - Yes, it is safe! And how to take pubic transit to the convention center.

It was very cozy. The room was very nice. Very clean. The coffee shop at check in was amazing. Anymore teips back to Columbus, this is where I'll stay!!! Ive stayed alot of places in Columbus an this was by far the best.

I was here one night. It was an easy walk to resturants and they offered a nice breakfast sandwoch and coffee for breakfast. The room and bathroom were large. The bed was comfortable. The water was hot. There were not a lot of counters in the bathroom.

Clean comfortable room

Clean and comfortable. All the amenities we needed were available. Great place to stay!

I love the breakfast sandwich!

I don’t normally leave reviews, but this experience was so upsetting I feel it needs to be shared. Both the hotel and Expedia failed us in every possible way, and the lack of accountability was unbelievable. The most unacceptable part was how the hotel handled our belongings. Housekeeping threw away our valuable items without hesitation. When I asked about them, the employee flat-out admitted they had kept someone else’s belongings before but decided to discard ours instead. To make it worse, they asked me if I was that other person whose belongings they did save. That alone shows how careless and inconsistent their process was. I was also told the hotel has a lost and found, yet my items were never placed there. Instead, they were thrown away as if they meant nothing. When I tried to speak to the manager, they avoided me completely, showing zero willingness to take responsibility. The employee I dealt with was rude, dismissive, and made the entire experience even worse. On top of that, Expedia—who should advocate for their customers—did nothing but hide behind their policies. They passed the blame back to the hotel rather than helping resolve the issue. It felt like both sides just wanted to avoid dealing with the problem, leaving us stuck with no resolution and no respect for what we lost. Travel can already be stressful, and situations like this are exactly why people expect professionalism, honesty, and basic care.

Nice, clean room. Staff was great. Motel is convenient to campus.
