Room was clean, staff was fine, did't use the outdoor pool so i can't comment on that. No coffee machine in the room or water. Location was not the best for access to Ohio State University. About 15 minutes away. Lots of construction going on around the area which made commute difficult.

This is not the usualy place we stay at when in Columbus but it is now definitely our nee back up spot when #1 pick is booked. Great downtown location. Stayed July 3rd for Red White Boom. Night time front desk lady was very cool. Kept the pool opened all night long.

This a lovely gem of a place to stay in the German Village area of Columbus. The place is clean, the beds are very comfy, the breakfast is good, and the staff is delightful. After a sub-par home rental experience, this place felt like complete luxury.

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made checking in and out very easy. The beds were clean and comfortable, we didn’t make use of the amenities but they looked great and folks were using the pool. In the morning, the continental breakfast had great options and was a nice perk. The location was convenient and had a lot of bars and restaurants in walking distance. I would definitely stay again!

I love the location of the hotel. The staff is wonderful. Everyone was just so kind. The breakfast could be better especially the turkey sausages. They’re not good at all. Even the links is not a good brand of meat. It doesn’t taste real other than that. Everything else was fine and also the toilet is in the room. They should be a little taller because they are too low, especially with people who are older other than that the place is wonderful.

Emergency trip 🚨 from Pennsylvania to Ohio. And without a doubt it was the best option. The staff, the cleanliness in short everything perfect. We didn't get to use the pool because we didn't have time. But if you doubt it, it's very nice. Thank you for your service. I would stay again.
