We booked this hotel to be within walking distance for an Ohio State FB game. Location was walkable within 1.1 miles of the stadium. Short uber ride to bars & restaurants on High Street. Staff was very friendly. Lots of stores & restaurants close by. Room was clean. Complimentary breakfast sandwich & coffee. Would definitely stay again..

Our stay was great for the Buckeyes game! We could easily walk to the stadium. The room was clean and conveniently located. Brenz pizza was a great pickup option after the game! Also, every guest in your room gets a free breakfast sandwich and black coffee for each night’s stay!
