Plenty of free parking. Check-in went good, friendly staff. Only downside for me was the bed was very firm, but that is because I am used to a softer mattress. Sme may have different preferences. Nice breakfast buffet.

This hotel was excellent. Good and quiet location outside of Columbus. They've put their money in all the right places and the renovations made this a very nice hotel. The pool was excellent and warm! Everything was clean. And all 3 desk workers were excellent and friendly! Also the breakfast was very great! Apart from the bathroom feeling small. And doors being a little gappy. I give this hotel an excellent review! And will definitely keep it in mind for my next stay!!!

The staff was excellent - my King room was very spacious, clean - I used the pool this morning 5/5 before I checked out.Pool is small , clean and the room was well appointed with nice pool furniture ( clean & in good shape), had Emergency equipment in case of pool accident . I didn't need but was pleased pool had a lift so disabled people could use pool. Delicious & variety of breakfast items available - nice selection of drinks.. I most definitely will stay when I travel to Delaware . I sent photos of my room to 2 friends after checking in . I was in town for my great nieces Holy Communion. I did not need to use the convenient restaurants & stores nearby except for one. GOOD location -My room was at front of hotel facing Rt23 but I didn't hear any road noise. Unfortunately I had noise from young teenagers running in hall from 1 room to another & closing doors loudly . in the evening.

The room was filthy. Dirt on the floor throughout the room. Asked to be switched to a different room and was told no. I told her that the floor was filthy and asked if she could vacuum it, and she said that she could mop it. Apparently they do not vacuum the rooms. They mop them The floor was very uneven almost like there were holes underneath the flooring and underneath the carpet in the hallway The towels were supposed to be white, however, they looked gray. They did give us new towels when we asked for them at the front desk after we were refused a new room.

I have stayed at this location multiple times and have been satisfied. We stayed in 2 separate rooms passing by the area on our way to Michigan and returning. The refrigerator didn’t work the first stay. The second stay the toilet still had fecal matter in it… The morning desk attendant was outside smoking sitting on the curb each time I passed the desk into the parking lot. 3 separate occasions over an hour. Definitely not staffed the same as years past.

There was a large pile of mouse droppings by the headboard of one of the beds, they were very accommodating to give us another rooom however all they had available was a king size bed instead of 2 queens. The room they moved us to was clean enough but had a strong mildew/mouse nest smell and everything felt damp all the time in the room.

Its in a good location for being able to grab things quickly without having to drive around, but the area around it has places within 2 miles in all directions pretty much so its not a huge issue. The biggest complaint was the bed, and when you stay in a hotel, the bed's kind of important. I would have been better sleeping on the sidewalk outside of the building. The bed was stiff, uncomfortable, and it had a metal grating around the bottom of it that you would gloriously bang your toes on every night. If they're trying to protect from something, its certainly not your big toe

I liked the man at the front desk. Super nice and friendly. The beds were super hard and on a metal stand that creaked. Super tiny pillows that were more like ones you would use as decorative pillows for a couch.

Perfectly good for an overnight stay, particularly if travelling with children because of indoor pool. Good robust included breakfast. Peculiar room layout. Sink was separate from toilet & shower/tub. Toilet & shower/tub were in a doored room. Entrance to room was between toilet & shower/tub room and sink - sink formed one side of entrance foyer. Drawbacks of this layout is that outerwear (wet shoes coats) were tracked through what was essentially the middle of a bathroom and unlike a conventional bathroom, if the sink was to be used during the night, it was not possible to close the bathroom door so as not to light/disturb someone still sleeping. Bed was comfortable but used an actual box-spring support and the box-spring squeaked. The 3rd floor (of three floors) room we were in had a floating floor. Walking across the floor would cause room furniture to vibrate/produce noise.

Clean hotel, friendly staff, quiet room. As others have stated, the bed frames are weird, I bashed my shin on the metal frame which is atop a metal base. The metal base makes a super loud clanging sound if you foot makes contact with it, which ours did of course. Other than that it's a decent hotel in a good location.

This was a great overnight stay for a very reasonable price. She’s an oldie but very well maintained and very clean. Breakfast was fabulous also. The air con was temperamental and went from hot to cold but we often find these hotel air con’s a little unpredictable I would defiantly stay here again. As with most free breakfasts in the USA I would love to see reusable plates and cutlery to be more eco friendly - so much disposable waste

Booked through Expedia but upon arrival the hotel reception stated they did not have any record of the reservation. Fortunately they had vacancy and I paid for a night; so I essentially paid twice. The individual at reception had no empathy for the situation, and simply told me that they had no record of the reservation made earlier in the day there was no effort to look into what had happened, or to even verify any information with me. This is what frustrated me most - the lack of caring or concern - there was none, although I was told they were experiencing computer problems so that might have been the problem? In any event Expedia handled it promptly and I am in process of receiving refund for the excess payment but reception at the hotel after a long drive and late at night was not acceptable. Other than that the property was clean and comfortable.

I booked on Hotels.com and the hotel did not have my reservation in their system, which was a pain, but the desk clerk did a nice job getting me a room at the same rate and from there my stay was enjoyable. Trying to reach a human at hotels.com to try to sort things out was a nightmare and once I did took longer than it should have to do a simple cancelation. I normally use Expedia and will go back to them.

You could see fireworks from the hotel and Gayle went and grabbed her personal folding chair and brought it to my wife to use I will stay there again. Great service

Checking in we waited 15 minutes for some to show up. She was on the phone dealing with I’m assuming a manager because a room was not cleaned. I was one of five people waiting to check in. She continued to stay on the phone and try and check us in. I felt that if the room in question was not one of ours being checked into, she could have dealt with that issue after checking all of us in after waiting now over 20 minutes.
