"Metal art on exterior of building was train oriented and very cute. Staff at front desk was extremely nice. Carpeting in halls was dated but the rooms were in excellent condition. Our mini fridge was a large size and worked very well, there was a microwave also but we didn’t use it. "

10/10 Excellent
"Nobody around to check in. What showed as a tiny home turned into a room with a bed and toilet. A 2 day stay usually requires you to eat, bbqs were available as stated in their ad but NOT for the studio whatever you call it. We left after one miserable night. Never saw the host, only received her traditional NASTY text replies. I read in previous reviews that the owner was rude, boy were they accurate!! I would ABSOLUTELY not recommend this business for anybody else to waste their money. Lesson learned!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Columbus

8/10 Good
"I am a hotel snob so it took a lot to convince me to stay at this hotel. Well, color me surprised!! It was one of the cleanest hotels I’ve been in this year! The rooms aren’t huge but we were only there overnight. The parking lot is under construction at the front of the hotel but that wasn’t an issue. We did have to wait to check in as they were cleaning our room—didn’t mind the wait. Like a lot of hotels out here there are no elevators to the second floor. We requested first floor level and the staff was very accommodating. Yes, I would stay there again."

"Room was clean. There are new owners (they are very nice and accommodating) so think they are trying to add some amenities. Newly installed hot tub. Rooms could use an upgrade like new paint. Baseboards and doors are worn. Beds are comfortable and the room is large with a small kitchen table/chairs, fridge and rocking chairs in the tv area. We were there two nights."
