This was our second time staying here. Disappointed that it cost $60.00 more than booking price online. I realize that fee and taxes are added but that was too much. Otherwise it was suitable.

Front desk was very nice and helpful. Rooms were small, and also the only motel I've ever stayed at that didn't have a microwave or mini fridge. Location was very convenient, walking distance from Scottenstein center and a Sunoco multiple food establishments neighboring the building.
