It's ok.
Check in was easy the guy was nice but the girls he was working with seemed difficult to give him answers. Room was clean, but whatever they clean with is very powerful smelling with a musk scent, wasn't a fan of that. It's an outdoor hotel so people and cars outside can be noisy if that bothers you. This bed was very broke down on one side but still comfortable enough. We only stayed one night during the week so parking was fine..area was okay plenty to eat. I'd stay again if I had to come back and just need to sleep, if I was spending more than a night I might look for something else.

Upon check-in, there was a sign on the door that said the attendant was away and will be back in 10 minutes, this turned out not to be true. A line was formed outside waiting for check in. I understand people need breaks but I even tried calling to let them know there was a line but no one picked up. When we got to the room I discovered that in our ice bucket there was discarded single use contact lense wrappers, as well as a used towel from the last guest; meaning I’m not sure how thoroughly the rest of the room was actually cleaned. There were also holes in the bathroom wall and door. Having said that, it was a good location and certainly not the worst experience I’ve had in a hotel by any means.

too expensive for the old and untidy place. With this price one could get a 4 star hotel and I was expecting to have something cleaner. In the past I stayed in a much better and clean hotel with half price in columbus.
