This was the perfect little getaway for me and my partner. We wanted something that was close to their conference, and short north has a lot of transportation options. There were a bunch of restaurants and activities that were walking distance. The place was very clean. Check in/check out was also very smooth! The only issue was that the wifi wasn’t the best. This was a small issue, and we were easily able to work around it! Would stay here again!

A shot of the ancient octagon earthworks built by the Hopewell Indians. For a stretch, the land was owned by the Ohio National Guard who restored and maintained the earthworks. In the 1930's the land was leased and turned into a country club. I suppose being a golf course prevents the land from becoming a Walmart or CVS, but it still seems a little contrary to historical preservation.
