Pros +

  • Location
  • It was nicely remodeled
  • Pool area and breakfast were great

Cons -

  • Sour smelly shower curtain. Parking fee was a surprise for this part of Columbus.
  • The room was disgusting., Used Q-tip on floor of living room just to start. Walls and ceiling of the pool area were crumbling. Breakfast was hard as a rock hockey puck sausage patties and everything was gone and no replenishment of food in sight by 7:30
  • I didn't know I had to pay parking $15 per day. I looked on your site and still cannot find anywhere it says I need to pay for parking. Also their breakfast was decent, but their sausage was not very tasty.
