Good property near osu campus with nice gym and decent free breakfast. Only thing that stuck in the craw was being greeted at the front desk with an extra parking fee for “gated parking” $15/night. There were no gates to get in but the exit has one so essentially just a cash grab. Overall solid comparatively speaking with other hotels in this price range near campus.
