Expo Center Events
If you were attending an event at the expo center in Columbus, this is the place to stay. It’s within easy walking distance. You’re able to park and walk to the event. Rooms were clean. There is a light breakfast in the morning which consists of coffee, juice, a couple cereal options, yogurt, and muffins

AVOID!!!
Totally disappointed!!! Booked on line and deceived by the photos. From the outside it has the appearance of a pay by the hour motel. Walking into the lobby has an uninviting appearance. The room was super small the tub/shower was stained and appeared dirty. We felt dirt the whole time there and after leaving. When leaving the breakfast area had 3 small tables and a waffle machine. Information online is deceiving. Everyone working the front desk had very broken English and super hard to understand. Drove straight home, 4 hour drive, and throw all our clothes, EVERYTHING, in the wash and took showers. STAY AWAY!!!!

Not the worst but definitely not the best
Old dated room, smelled of smoke, could hear all the freeway noise. Uncomfortable beds and pillows. Door didn’t seal well, so moths got in. Had lots of hot water though.
Lumpy pillows, sinking mattress
Burns on table
Faceplates missing
