Very Clean
I was only there for one night, so I can't speak too much on all the amenities, but overall the entire hotel was very clean and well-maintained and certainly a good option to stay in Columbus - cheaper than downtown, but still close enough to the city core that nothing is too far.

Great night sleep!
Really comfortable and incredible beds! My mom and I both had one of our best nights of sleep in a hotel that I can remember. We also received a great text in advance asking if we needed anything (and they responded)!
