I liked that the front desk woman was very nice and apologetic to incoming guests when she had to go herself to see if their room was ready. She said they were very short-staffed. Our room was very hot upon entry. There was no hot water. I let the water run for about five minutes. Yes, I had it in the correct position, not on Cold. In the morning we did have Hot. Breakfast at 8:40 was almost non-existent. One biscuit left, some gravy. No eggs. Well, two hard boiled ones. No pancakes- the machine was not working. There was bacon, thank you. And oatmeal. I would not stay here again. It was as if the chain was going to go out of business and nobody cared about anything any more.

The sidewalks had no salt down so very icy The parking lot had not had snow removal. The desk said they only had 2 cleaning people working Numerous people that came in after us got into their room before we were able to get in ours After 2 hours of this we questioned and they determined our room assigned to us was for handicapped which we did not need We were then told they had lots of rooms clean and they were able to get us a room

One bed had spots on the sheets and there was open snack packs in the laundry cabinet. Other than that, everything was perfect. The guy who came in to change the sheets was really nice and professional. Everyone I spoke to was very professional and polite.

Hotel is in a very sketchy area of Columbus, OH. I would not go out in the dark there even to just get in my car. Once I got in my room, I used Door Dash for meals and stayed put. Room needed some maintenance, and had very poor lighting. Staff was, however, very pleasant and helpful.

Our 2nd stay here in a week. 1st stay I’d rate 5 stars, even though there was no hair dryer and no parking pass issued. Receptionist and staff were excellent.2nd stay we found our room was not ready. Receptionist was very helpful, but on her phone the entire time and angrily talking to whomever. We were offered nothing for the inconvenience of having to switch rooms. The carpet in our room is deeply stained. It was clean, however. Breakfasts are very nice.
