This facility exceeded my expectations. Nice accommodations. Was greeted by front desk clerk very nicely. My room was ready and clean. Its appears room has been remodeled and was very nice. Room and linens were clean and amenities were plentiful. I highly recommend this facilty. Folks above me were noisy, sounded like someone drag racing on the street adjacent to the hotel but thats not their fault. To the franchise owner, keep up the good work.

We had tickets to a concert at the Schott and this location was perfect. We were able to walk back and forth to the venue. The hotel staff was phenomenal! So courteous and attentive. The room was clean and ready with all the basic amenities. Great for a quick stay in Columbus. The only drawback was the odd smell of gasoline in the parking lot and on the sidewalk. Not sure what that was from, but it was a strong odor. Otherwise, we had a fantastic experience.

This motel is a refurbished Motel 6. The insides of the room are recently renovated, but they were, unfortunately, dirty. There were fingernail cuttings on my bed (not mine), and the floors were really dirty. My sheets had a burn hole in them. The shower was fantastic and clearly brand new. The elevator was really gross and felt scary. There were fingerprints on the outside of the windows, so I was cautious I was being spied on. The women at the front desk were kind and lovely, and I worry for them working there. The vibe was tired and resigned. Basically, they put lipstick on the pig here. I'd stay many other places before I stay here again.

Okay motel, has serious issue with bugs

Staff was nice, when it came to the room we stayed in at first glance was ok until the room seemed unswept and not clean, and there was a problem with bugs, literal roaches in our room. It was tolerable until we would find them on the beds.
