Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was perfect. I was surprised to see a full kitchen with an oven/stove. All utensils/glasses/plates provided. There is construction going on around the property, but that’s beyond the hotel’s control. The only meh was we were not allowed to park a second vehicle in the hotel garage. This was a bit of an annoyance since it required downloading a parking app to secure parking for the day. Other than that, great place to stay.

Great place for a quick stay close to the OSU campus. Small, but well-designed rooms make the most of the tight space.

Prime location, lots of storage, very clean
I don’t think the listing is as up front about the size or style of this place. There are regular tenants, and then there are hotel guests. That doesn’t bother me, but because of this, we got a room on the highest floor, and parking on the lowest level. Balcony views are currently obscured due to construction directly across the street. Rooms are incredibly small, with Murphy beds, and sinks in the main area rather than the bathroom. However, there was lots of storage, and the bed was very comfortable. We stayed NYE and were within walking distance to Cazuela’s, some excellent Mexican food. We returned from festivities around 1:30 am. About four rooms in our hall had doors constantly opening and slamming shut, with college kids kicking and punching the doors, shouting, and running up and down the hall. I called the front desk, and the man working was very receptive and had told me he had just come up to speak with them due to another complaint, and was giving them a few minutes to see if it will settle before taking more formal action. Very thankful for the attentiveness. Due to the proximity of the hotel to campus and the bar scene, I’m sure that’s more their age and interests of guests. Would stay again, but probably not on a major drinking holiday.

I appreciated the dorm-like qualities of the property and found it to be clean and well kept. Maybe I am too old to fully appreciate it but it was defintely okay.

Super convenient location/ Very uncomfortable bed
Great location, close to the shoe and other university locations and restaurants. Rooms are small but cute and clean. Friendly helpful staff. My only complaint is the bed is SUPER uncomfortable! Otherwise top notch place to stay!

Great room; it’s advertised as a smaller room, but they maximize the space and it was perfect for a weekend away sightseeing and enjoying a concert.
