I loved this hotel for what we needed this weekend. We were there for a volleyball tournament. It was clean, quiet, they have a little store with snacks etc. the front desk staff were beyond kind and accommodating. We requested a late checkout and were allowed to stay to 2 pm with helped us greatly; we didn't have to spend 6 hours at the airport. There is also a Starbucks 2 min walk away, Target and some restaurants within walking distance.

We stayed her for an OSU football game. It is about a half hour walk to the stadium. The staff was wonderful. The room was spartan and a bit beat up but clean. I know the ridiculous price was based on location and not amenities. It has a parking lot and they allowed me to park 2 cars which was great on a game day. The on site bar was hopping and had a great vibe.
