Guest Recommendations
Surprising...
"Considering the area and what was around it I never expected the hotel to be so nice. My room was also a surprise as I thought it was just a bedroom not a suite. Very accommodating for special checkout needs."

My first choice for the area
"Easy to find, new and clean with great beds and a very nice breakfast room and bar( both hot entrees like susage and eggs, biscuts and gravy- and cold offerings from a choice of cereals, yogurt and pastries for breakfast) The pool was clean the workout room very nicely equipt and it is as easy to access upper arlington area as it is the OSU campus and medical facilities. If you are there on the week days you will be greated by the smell of freshly baked cookies at the check in. It will put a smile on your face that will stay there."
