Not that great
Unexpected fees upon arrival, you get charged to park in the hotels parking lot. Difficulty checking out. Got locked out of my room because the key card failed and waited 10- 15 minutes outside my room for someone to come open my room door and they never came… turns out they forgot I told them I got locked out. Room was clean and comfortable, and it was quiet which was nice but the cons outweighed the pros this time around.

Quiet, nice toom
We came for a spur of the moment trip to see Columbus. I hadn’t been to the Zoo in a while. The hotel was great. The bed was very comfortable. The room was large for the two of us. The shower had great water pressure. The breakfast was very good. It was very quiet.
