A little pricey but not awful

The motel room was clean, comfortable, and staff helpful. Coffee maker in room didn’t work, motel did not sell common sundries like aspirin, and no USB charging ports in room. A little overpriced but conveniently located to OSU facilities.

Almost there

Springs on mattress were broke in one area. Shower was clogged. The room needed some cleaning as well.

4/10 Fair

Total disrepair

Check in at the desk went well, beyond that the stay was awful. Got to the room and the toilet was clogged. Called down about it, wait about a half hour and a guy handed me a flimsy plunger and walked away. Doors are busted up, everything is stained, beds uncomfortable. Paying more than $200 one night is ridiculous.

50/50

My father was in the hospital at OSU and I needed the cheapest closest place. The outside is very old and out dated, inside was remodeled and very nice! Don't let the outside fool you! But.... It was loud at night. Constant traffic to rooms close by. Some rooms seemed to be occupied with people living there. Sketchy people in the parking lot. But no one bothered me, felt safe(ish) and the inside of the room was great!

Stayer beware

The TV didn’t work. On Friday we asked for a remote to be brought to us-that didn’t happen. On Saturday I went to the front desk and they gave me a remote. The remote didn’t work-they said they would send maintenance-they never showed. There was no shampoo or conditioner or Kleenex in the room. Only one washcloth. The heater made a clicking sound all night long that was loud enough to keep me awake.

10/10 Exceptional

Great service and a decent room for the price, extremely close to campus - if this is the general category of accommodations you're considering, and most of us in the real world inhabit this bracket, then you'll be satisfied with staying here, no nasty surprises or complaints, and staff friendliness was a bonus. Its not the Ritz but its where I will be staying again next time I'm in town.
