Disliked: Amenities
Please know this is motel style lodging. There is no elevator to the second level. The room is adequate for sleeping. The bathroom tub and surround were painted and the paint was peeling. The free breakfast was meager, had to ask for coffee cups, pastry was very stale. No one cleaned the room and we had to turn in the dirty towels to housekeeping to get fresh ones. The Comfort Inn is next door and they have an indoor pool. The Days Inn is in a great location for the Expo Center and the stadium. Unfortunately there is road construction right in front of the driveway. There is a McDonald's nextdoor for a quick hot breakfast. There are no lounges or gathering spaces.

The bed was very comfortable and it was clean. Loud music and kids screaming after 10pm. For breakfast they did not have much that someone with diabetes could eat. I wish they would have had no sugar syrup for waffles. More selective breakfast products would be nice

Sketchy

We decided to go cheaper and will not do that again. This property was a little sketchy. Staff was friendly. I want to make sure they know that. But the tub was not clean and had a little water in it. When we checked out the next morning they wouldn’t let us in the lobby due to a man being threatening to the owner and another threatening man in the parking lot. They took our key and sent us on our way. Interesting to say the least.

Expo Center Events

If you were attending an event at the expo center in Columbus, this is the place to stay. It’s within easy walking distance. You’re able to park and walk to the event. Rooms were clean. There is a light breakfast in the morning which consists of coffee, juice, a couple cereal options, yogurt, and muffins

Great location, needs updated.

This hotel location is excellent for concerts at the Crew Stadium or for visiting the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The front desk was friendly with good service. The hotel is older. The room could've been cleaner, but the bed was comfortable. No fridge, no pool, no breakfast that we could see. The hotel should be updated, since the location is great.
