The bad Wifi was terrible so for an out of towner like myself with no data this really sucked. There was also no shampoo or body wash in the room so I had to buy some from Walmart. The outside of the hotel looks really outdated but this is the only bad thing I have to say about this hotel The good Great staff and 3 great options for food right across the street. Gas station across the street as well which is nice with the highway being so close. The inside of the room was really nice and updated. The a/c worked amazing. So cold the wife had to get into a blanket after coming inside from the deathly heat outside. Honestly for the great price and Location you can’t beat it. Definitely plan on staying there again next year.

No frills, no pool but nice stay

Front desk lady was amazing. Felt sorry for her because she was alone without help but she handled it very well. Room smelled of fresh paint, fresh new linens, and overall remodeled. Check out the gyro food truck near the parking lot it’s amazing. Will for sure go back to this location.

Great Stay

This room was great! Even had the "new" smell. It was clear it was recently renovated. One of the best hotel showers I have had and the bed was comfy. No breakfast of any sort but had decent coffee.

They canceled my reservation and didn’t tell me. I booked 2 months in advance. I was there for an event at the Ohio state stadium. Got there right at check in and they told me they over booked and canceled my reservation. They failed to tell myself or Expedia the canceled my reservation. According to Expedia I still had a room. Every hotel in the area was full by that point.
