Wonderful

Very nice, right in University Village, close to everything connected with Ohio State. And easy access to downtown and everything else. Also the pool, gym and other facilities seemed first rate.
The hotel was clean and welcoming. The front desk staff -very helpful. We did not use the indoor pool, nor the gym area.
Breakfast area-very clean. They could add some extra items to the menu.
The front desk staff was excellent. We arrived late at night, close to midnight, while driving and looking for a place to stay. By mistake, we had booked the room just after midnight, thinking we already had a reservation for that night. When we arrived, we realized the booking was actually for the next day. The staff member was extremely courteous and helpful after about an hour, he was able to arrange a room for us so we could stay overnight. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism.
Great choice if you are going to an event at the Schottenstein Center. Great shuttle service to and from. The hotel was clean, the staff was so welcoming and friendly. We will definitely stay here again at our next Schottenstein Event.
