Our first room, was dirty, mold all over the walls, hair in the shower, the sheets had stains and the pillow cases had black stains on them. Then our second room, shower ceilings were moldy, and top sheets were dirty. I really didn’t want to stay there but I had to stay due to no other rooms available near.. I will never be booking with them again. Also I believe that’s a spot where people actually live, at night it be noisy and cigarettes smells. When I first walk to my room the outside door to get in the build had a group full of people just smoking and starring at me n and my friends also the staircase smell like straight piss. Overall never again !

I made reservations back in February and when I got in to town on Wednesday, May 18th, the front desk insisted that my reservations were canceled on Tuesday, May 17th. I didnt cancel my reservations, and according to expedia my reservations were still booked. I even showed the front desk my confirmation number and they still refused to honor my reservations. So i had to find another hotel at the last minute, to stay at.

Room 187 and possibly others nearby has had a bed bug infestation for years. despite hotel desk assurance that there were no longer bugs in the room, it had multiple of different species, Ants, roaches, spiders and bed bugs. Kids and teenagers living there hanging outside late into the early morning hours. And when they have a police officer on duty in the lobby, it must say something about the place.

DISGUSTING AND SCAMMERS
I booked a smoking room at this hotel at 8am on 4/27/2024. First off they didn’t have a smoking room available so they say “we can put you in an upgraded 2 bed room”. I get to the room (#167) and see something moving on the bed just to realize it’s a BEDBUG!!!!!! I take pics and show them just for them to move me to the smoking room I initially asked for with MORE BEDBUGS!!!! They had the nerve to charge me $100 for a security deposit, the hotel stinks and is full of illegal activity, you won’t feel safe at all and I’m learning any hotel on this app that’s run by anybody from India will be the most trifling inhumane place you can pay to stay at. Now my things might be infested with bedbugs and all hotels.com did was give me a $25 coupon lmao I can’t wait to talk to a lawyer and I’ve called the health department and I’m about to call DHS because I’m convinced they are human trafficking and some more stuff in there…I can’t believe that hotel is even allowed to be occupied. Hotels.com will allow you to be scammed and nobody will take accountability

Horrible.
Hallway lined with old toilets, stairway smelled of urine. Dirty room, carpet even had a couple of holes. Hotel is obviously being used for immigrants and possibly homeless which is fine but maybe they sound make paying customers aware so we can choose where to stay. Seems to be the case with many lower end Columbus hotels. They just take our money. Unsafe, unclean, just awful.
