"Great and convenient stay."

10.0

This hotel has been a great experience. The rooms are clean and have nice furnishings. My bed was also very comfortable which is something I have a hard time finding in most hotels. The breakfast was also very good. There is also a small area in the lobby to purchase some snacks and drinks which I appreciated. The hotel is a short drive to OSU campus and the hospital. The pool area was very clean as well.
