I appreciate the cleanliness, the modernity of the place, especially with convenient climate control, solid interior design, really became a nice home away from home. Also a great location near Campus and not far from most of the suburbs I was visiting in Columbus. Darren was really thoughtful on staging bathroom amenities and was quick to respond to any request or concern I had.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how nice, clean, and up to date it was, considering how much I paid for the room. The price was super affordable and low cost. Way cheaper than some of the surrounding hotels. I will definitely come back. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this amazing hotel to everyone.
