Room is small - very small. Nice hotel if you are not going to stay in the hotel. Convenient to the OSU stadium and campus. Within walking distance of the shoe

Assigned a dirty room, then had another person assigned to our second room. Then the TV did not work and once we got that fixed, the only channels we could get were ROKU...no live TV and no live sports.
Would have left early , but it was a football weekend and other hotels were booked.
We stayed here to attend a concert at the Schottenstein Center and this property was a convenient walk. The rooms were clean which is my highest priority. They were small but served the purpose that we needed. Our only complaint is regarding the parking. It was only by blind luck that we even found the enterance to the parking garage. If you have a full size truck, as we do, there are only a handful of parking spots you can use. The ceiling is too low to go to other levels.
Close to OSU. Easy walk to campus. It is a small efficient room. Best for one person that will mostly just be sleeping there. Bed was a little caved in in the middle. I would stay here again. .
