The room was really quiet, including the climate control. There were lots of lights in the room. The breakfast buffet was refilled right to the end of the breakfast time, and they used re-usable dishware.

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.
