Checking it out for my daughter’s 1st yr at OSU
Very well kept, clean, quiet, residents seemed respectful of the property. Safe environment. Some fixtures in the room we stayed in could be tightened up-facet was wobbly and bathroom door latch was broken

Football convenience but no amenities on site
Great access to football stadium, but increasingly centered in maximizing income from dormitory rentals than any rental needs of people visiting for football games or college events

Room is small - very small. Nice hotel if you are not going to stay in the hotel. Convenient to the OSU stadium and campus. Within walking distance of the shoe

4/10 Fair

Assigned a dirty room, then had another person assigned to our second room. Then the TV did not work and once we got that fixed, the only channels we could get were ROKU...no live TV and no live sports. Would have left early , but it was a football weekend and other hotels were booked.

Wonderful hotel, close to the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The only issue we had was finding the place because of the construction.

8/10 Very good

We stayed here to attend a concert at the Schottenstein Center and this property was a convenient walk. The rooms were clean which is my highest priority. They were small but served the purpose that we needed. Our only complaint is regarding the parking. It was only by blind luck that we even found the enterance to the parking garage. If you have a full size truck, as we do, there are only a handful of parking spots you can use. The ceiling is too low to go to other levels.
