Never come here.
Terrible area, drug deals in parking lot. Workers hung out next to dumpster with a baby for a long time before coming back inside to check the front desk. Room had poop smeared on the wall in bathroom. Pubic hair was on the bed with stains. Entire hotel had strong marijuana odor. Homeless people sleeping in parking lot

The entire property is need of repair. We travel to Columbus quite often and have never seen anything like this. The floor throughout the property is filthy at all times, the towel bar in our bathroom was hanging on by a thread and several floor tiles in the bathroom were loose. Unless you have no other choice, don't stay here.

Comfy but concerns
The hotel room was clean and the beds are super comfortable! The lobby and hallways often smelled of marijuana. I know it’s now legal but I personally don’t want to smell it. The lobby where you eat breakfast was hot and had many gnats or fruit flies. Breakfast was not ready on time and we had to leave early each day for our horse show.

It just felt very dirty, many things looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The fridge in our room had been unplugged and leaked water all over the floor, there was hair left in the bath tub and sink and lights flickering in the room randomly. The upfront staff was very kind however, but i wouldn't recommend staying here regardless.
