Close to OSU. Easy walk to campus. It is a small efficient room. Best for one person that will mostly just be sleeping there. Bed was a little caved in in the middle. I would stay here again. .

Efficient usage of the small room space is amazing. Even though the room only measures ~20'x10', it has everything needed for me including a large microwave oven, a good size refrigerator, and a comfortable queen bed. It will be even better if the murphy bed could be raised a bit easier. The bed is heavy for lifting up.

Very disappointed in this stay. We were forced to drive in circles to find location as there was no parking. The contact number provided in my Itinerary fro Expedia was not even a working number so seriously thought I was duped. After searching the internet finally found the number and was told to park in an illegal tow away zone to check in. Very disappointing experience. Also room has flies and smelled like mildew.

Misleading room photos, misleading photos of the area around the building (the outside of the building itself and surroundings just look like dirty campus apartments) and overall property description, no management or work being done really. Adult campus kids running and screaming through halls, nobody does anything. Some kind of poop or throw up trail on the floor overnight and through the entire next day, nobody does anything. The public areas that they are charging you for are not kept clean, and it was hard to even just get housekeeping for my own room.

Great area to be close to campus and kids that go to "THE" Ohio State University! Rooms are perfect size for sleeping which is usually not very long due to cramming as much into a weekend as possible!
