We stayed here for a night and honestly it was better than we expected. The location is really good. Walkable to downtown. We went for a soccer game and the stadiums are not far. We walked there and everything was fine. Safe area and the room was really clean. If I came to Columbus again, I would definitely look at this Hotel.

It Is What It Is

It has been a while since we stayed here, and it was the cheapest option for a brief overnight visit while we went to a game in town. The rooms are very dark and turning on the lights barely helps. Check-in was incredibly slow and watch for the hidden "safe fee", be sure to tell them at checkout that you did not use it so you get your money back. They definitely raised the parking rate from last time we were here, it is $19 a night now and honestly, that is just a couple bucks under the valet fees of local competitors, where you can stay with more amenities for not that much more per night as well. Overall, the stay was fine, the rooms were clean, and we like the area. I would just seriously weigh all of the options before outwardly picking this hotel versus others in the area.

For the event the stay was sufficient. The air in room was not the best but it was manageable especially during a heat wave. Front desk couldn’t help with misc things but ok….no problem.

Kyle, Saint Louis Park

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
I think this place desperately needs to replace their door lock system, and to more fully staff their front desk. The keycards to our doors stopped working multiple times, which caused us to have to go to the front desk. There was usually one person working the front desk, with a long line (not a fun thing to wait in at 11pm). When asking for a new keycard, they never confirmed our identity (any of the times we went to get a new card) with the exception of one time (remember, the key cards stopped working many times). So, this made us concerned for the security and safety of the place. The hotel it self was fine, and I would only suggest staying here is funds are low and their price point is low. Also, I have not received an itemized receipt and was charged some things twice, so now I need to investigate to make sure I was properly charged. In short, this place was more work than it was relaxing.

Wouldn't say it was a great place to stay for the price. Room wasn't very clean. AC never really got cold. Was noisey in the morning with traffic and a parking lot right outside the window. Parking across the street costs an additional $19. Overall just lacked amenities for the cost.

Parking across the street with no real close crosswalk is a pain, and unsafe for older folks. It's also ridiculous to pay for parking on top of a room. Average hotel. Not amazingly clean, but not filthy. The price is good to be in that area, and it's located an 8 minute walk from the Arena.
