Very quiet for being on that main road. Was unlucky enough to have a bathroom that the sink, toilet and shower all broke. They were quickly fixed after informing the front desk and the clean team. Elevator also slow. Much faster to use the stairs. Would still likely stay again.

It was a great stay- only problem hallway smelled bad and then covered up by over powering cleaning product making it worse. Also elevator was really slow and the breakfast didn’t have much just cereal and waffle maker with no toppings

The bathroom sink had slow drainage. It was also leaking. The hotel has just one elevator for all rooms on 3 floors

The room was very clean. The bed was a little surprising. It was too noisy. If you moved, the springs made all kinds of noise. We kept waking each other up every time we moved in the bed. And the blinds need to be darker. Since there is another business next door with cars going by

Room appeared clean and without bugs though old and worn out. Burned out lightbulbs, stained carpet. Still, that all paled in comparison to the smell. The smell was pretty terrible. Smelled like mold and old urine. Price would have been a decent deal if not for the smell.

The staff was very nice and the room was a decent size with a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was clean. But immediately upon opening my room door, I was overwhelmed by a musty, damp odor. Not sure what the smell was coming from, but it made the room seem unclean. Hotel definitely could use some renovation or deep cleaning.

This stay was the dirtiest hotel I’ve stayed at. The staff was nice and attempting to accommodate with a different room which was slightly more cleanly but my main room had bugs, a hole in the wall, dirty bathroom, used toiletries, the bathroom door wasn’t on the hinges, mold was in the bathroom of both rooms. Something that looks like blood on the ceiling

Our room was extremely small and tight - only a path to walk around the Queen bed. The hairdryer didn't work - I tried to call the front desk and the phone didn't work so I had to use my cell phone and call from the "outside." They did bring a hairdryer right up. Breakfast wasn't impressive. Our first night there, there were 3 cars that had windows broken out and one car was actually stolen from right in front of the front door and lobby window. The walls are certainly not soundproof, so if you're a light sleeper . . . beware.

The room was very small. It did not have any where to hang clothes. No closet area at all. It was very clean and staff was friendly. Also, breakfast was only available until 9:30 am. Even McDonald’s is available until 10:30. I think it’s even more important on Weekends.

Checking in was easy. Once I got to my room though, things went south rather quickly. The toilet wouldn't flush properly and kept running. Had to fix it myself. Then when leaving to go out, the door wouldn't lock. Went to front desk and the attendant informed me I had to lift the door as I shut it. Room was noisy as I could hear what was going on above, beside, below, and down the hall. Room was extremely small but at least the bed was comfortable.

The staff was friendly. I needed a late check-in time and tried to call in ahead of time, but the line was busy. Later the same day a member of the staff returned my call and helped me over the phone. I arrived just after midnight, and check-in was quick and efficient. My room was clean and the hotel was quiet during the night. Check-out was quick and I am very satisfied with my choice.

The property is located in the area of multiple hotels, shopping plaza including big box stores and lots of restaurants. What I didn’t like was the request to have my room cleaned, bathroom cleaned and towels replaced, along with reporting stains on the bathroom ceiling and in the desk, only to be told “There’s no staff onsite to handle your request. I can only give you the towels if you’d like.” I’ve stayed in hundred’s of hotels and I would never select this location again.

My wife and I were in town Friday and Saturday night for the Morgan Wallen concert, we didn't want to stay right downtown and this location was perfect, it was about a 10 to 15 minute drive to Ohio Stadium. The location was just what we were looking for, it was right off highway 71, the were tons of great restaurants nearby. The hotel was great we had a room on the first floor they have a decent breakfast including waffles, fruit, cereal, juice. room was nice and clean and had everything we needed in it. The staff was really great. This was our first time staying in the Columbus area and we really liked it a lot, If we are ever back in the area we will for sure stay here again. Rates were not to bad after tax $137.07 a night. We felt very safe while there as well.

Very convenient location for a one-night stay in Grove City to attend a party. Very nice staff at this location. Quiet at night so noise did not interfere with our sleep. Hot breakfast in the a.m. Enjoyed the sausage links and the waffle (once someone helped me figure out to use the waffle iron).

Very friendly staff, clean room, safe area with restaurants close by. That’s all I want in a no frills hotel for one night to attend the Buckeyes game the next morning. People expect to pay for 1 star hotels and get 5 star accommodations. This place is great for what it is, so long as the price is right. $95 a night was a great deal. My only complaint is that it was advertised as a hot breakfast but was only continental with waffles. Other than that, I highly recommend so long as your expectations are not that of the Ritz-Calton.

Took a while to check in but that’s because the front desk was having a good conversation with the couple in-front of me which was okay. Only complaint would be that breakfast wasn’t restocked when I went down at 6:30 am. I only had the choice of 1 of 3 cereals or one type of muffins for the prepackaged breakfast. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
