I went for a work trip and the room worked for what I needed it for. The room looked overall clean, however I did notice some cigarette burns in the comforter and the floor was sticky throughout.

Filthy, nasty, urine, and cigarette smell hole inside of a hole in the wall. I was in Columbus as a traveling nurse and thought the rate was good. Worst mistake I’ve ever made. I could literally hear the people next door arguing over drugs, I thought they were going to come through wall. I bought new bedding from Kohl’s (which is just across the park lot) because the linen was riddled with cigarette burns. So who knows. I refused to shower there.

This was a pleasant stay. Nice and clean and exactly what you need. A clean comfortable room and bed with lot of cameras around the property to ensure you feel safe. Staff is friendly and courteous. I would definitely stay again for a quick stay like this. There’s a 50 dollar deposit which is very reasonable and plenty of towels in the room. Walkable to about 10 different restaurants (maybe more). Shopping at Kohl’s only a walk away. I didn’t have a bad experience.

Remote in the room didnt work properly,dead little flys on ceiling of bathroom, dirty bathroom floor, sketchy tenants who followed me around the complex asking for cigarettes when my husband wasnt around. The staff was nice and prompt when checking in and out, but the deposit would have been nice to know about beforehand when making the reservation. I was told the deposit was $50 when checking in and the signs on the check in desk stated there was a $50 deposit that would be refunded at the time of check out, but at checkout was told i was only getting $40 back with no explanation as to why not the full $50, and i didnt have time to argue. The area was not clean, dog poop on the ground not cleaned up in and around the pet area, would have stepped in it if not paying attention. I did not feel comfortable or safe being outside by myself while staying here. On a plus side they do have cameras, but unsure if they work. I cant say we will stay here again.
