Lovely inn! Exceptionally clean, easy to access from the freeway and very close to the north market (15 minutes on the bus!). The room was so much nicer than I was expecting - honestly, nicest motel type accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. Very clean, massive TV, warm and comfortable bed. Our friend who came to stay in another room also could bring his dogs (for a modest extra fee), which was pretty nice. In the morning they also gave us a coffee and breakfast sandwich, which was generously sized and very tasty! Definitely hope to stay here again - perfect for weekend trips to Columbus.

出差北美，定了之後才發現是Motel條件很一般，房價很小也沒有水，我晚上口渴了去隔壁買水回來（大概12點過）看到旁邊一家房間門打開，一對情侶，男的是黑人，女的是白人長大停Sexy的。以上都不是重點，重點是這對情侶是應該在玩SM，沒錯是打開門的玩SM，女的穿着情趣衣服和高跟鞋，帶着鏈子拴着站在外面，兩人應該是在玩暴露，我正好路過給我撞見，好奇多看了兩眼，我其實出門一般不會多看人家，結果好嘛，你這麼玩我能不多看一下嗎？這個黑人很高大，應該有190以上，結果就因為我這個多看兩眼，這個男的一直在絮絮叨叨的不乾不淨的罵人。真的是素質極差，真不是我種族歧視。

We stayed here previously, and for the price, along with the nice perk of breakfast and coffee, it was a decent experience. So, we decided to stay again on a second trip. The first room we were given had a strong smoky odor, so we asked to switch rooms. The second room smelled better, but the cleanliness was disappointing. I was particularly bothered by a large ball of dust next to the bed, which was also full of bugs. On the positive side, the coffee and free breakfast sandwich were great in the morning, and the staff was friendly and accommodating

We have been trying different hotels near camps because our son will be going in the fall. This hotel checked most of the boxes for us. It was very clean and rather spacious. The staff was very friendly even on the first night when we didn't make it to town until about midnight. The Crimson Coffee sandwiches are perfect for running to campus and tasty. The beds were clean and had plenty of pillows although they were a little hard for me. Both my son and husband had no problem sleeping.

Highly recommend! I stayed here with my sister who is being treated at OSU Medical Center. The staff was very friendly on check-in and check-out. The location was very convenient to the hospital and several local restaurants. Our room was clean, fresh, and we loved the decor. We especially loved the local coffee and breakfast sandwich in the morning as well as the local coffee and creamer for the Keurig machine in the room. I'd definitely stay here again!

This is a great little place. It's a family-run motel/hotel in a former chain hotel. It is recently updated and absolutely spotless. Room is basic but very, very clean and the beds are comfortable. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay again. We visited in June 2024 for my son to do a college tour at OSU. The coffee shop onsite has great stuff and we got a voucher for free breakfast sandwiches which were excellent. Great deal for the price!! Check this awesome place out!! Jill & Elliott

This is an old time motor inn with doors on the outside instead of an inside corridor. Despite it's age, the owners have spent time and money to update the rooms and make it very nice. The shower was very nice, the bed comfortable and the coffee shop downstairs has phenomenal breakfast sandwiches. Parking is free, WiFi is free and breakfast is included and the price is very reasonable. It is everything I need in a hotel and I would visit again in a heartbeat.
