La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

10/10 Excellent
"I was very impressed with the staff, the facility, and the overall experience. After reading some of the other reviews, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. However, my daughter and I were very comfortable with the bedding and our room overall. I only had one minor concern: the towel rack was broken. Other than that, the cleanliness and comfort of the facility far exceeded my expectations. We had a very pleasant stay!"
