2-Star Hotels in Columbus

I'm writing this review on the second day of our stay (Labor Day), rather than waiting until after we check out tomorrow morning. At this point, I don't think there is anything they can do to improve my rating. My experience here has made the ONLY vacation I am able to have this year very disappointing. I based my choice on a hotel for my 3 day trip to Columbus on three things: 1. Convenient location to my planned activities (right between COSI & the Zoo and Aquarium). 2. That there is an open pool. 3. The ratings on this site. I will first address the positives (the only things keeping my reading from being 1 star), then I'll address the things that will concern all guests, and last I will address the things that impacted my specific criteria listed above. First: The front desk staff of all shifts were all friendly, helpful (to their capabilities), and personal. The front desk lady on 2nd shift of Sept 4th was concerned for my quality of experience and helpful with my requests. All of the first shift employees on Sept 5th (Labor Day) were friendly and helpful... Especially the gentleman cleaning up from breakfast, who assisted me in getting everything I needed despite the fact I overslept and came out to get breakfast at 8:50am. The breakfast options were great: waffles, biscuits and gravy, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and juice. The food was delicious too. The 2nd shift lady at the front desk on Sept 5th was as helpful as she could be (explained below). I cannot speak for 3rd shift on Sept 5th because that hasn't happened yet but I am sure any potential experience will be positive, based on what has occurred so far. Every one of these employees deserve recognition from management and the company. Second: When I arrived, there was some sort of large party going on. The guests were so loud and rowdy that I could hardly hear the lady at the front desk as I was checking in and they could be heard all through the hallways. I understand that loud people are not the fault of the hotel and, thankfully, the room was the soundproof enough that it was nice and quiet. The room itself is in need of an update but the decor was nice, the beds were comfortable, and it smelled clean when we walked in. The clean smell is a bit of a deception though as it was only due to the deodorizer the spray in the room after house keeping us finished. I was happy with it at first but the longer we were in the room, the more I picked up on things that weren't right. To start it with, there were no washcloths with the hand towels and bath towels (which I suggest people bring their own because the hotel towels are child-sized, extremely thin, and rough). I asked a member of housekeeping for washcloths and was told ”We almost never have washcloths”. I asked a woman who appeared to be the housekeeping supervisor for washcloths and she walks down to laundry with me and managed to dig out two nice quality wash clothes from a large bin of freshly washed linens and towels. Next, as

Tubimos un servicio muy bueno, comoda variada, caliente y deliciosa, yo regresaría a este hotel, es céntrico, todo esta cerca, restaurantes, el zoológico, la ciudad, etc solamente el servicio a la habitación lo solocite y no lo hicieron :(

The location very close to Ohio State University is the biggest advantage of this hotel. At the same time, the service quality and attitude of the front desk are also very good, and the check-in and check-out procedures are very simple. The facilities in the room are relatively complete, but the area is small. If you live alone, you can barely make do, but if you live with two or more people, the experience will be very bad.

The breakfast variety is monotonous, the taste is not suitable for Chinese, and the room is quite big. The service staff is very enthusiastic, and I have to live for a long time. Good sanitary conditions, bathroom and tub, 24 hours hot water supply. The sockets in the room are all traditional American standard sockets, which are not very convenient to use.

Very convenient, there is an airport transfer. There is nothing nearby, there is a simple breakfast, the Chinese can accept. The bed was very comfortable, the room was large, the facilities were quite complete, but it was very old. The price is really not expensive.

The hotel is relatively close to the dormitory in the west of ous, within walking distance, there is a big supermarket next to it, and it is as convenient as a shopping mall. There are two buildings in the hotel, both of which are two-story houses surrounding the parking lot. They live on the first floor with a parked car at the door. Yinwq is not a hotel-like elevator building. It feels bad. I booked for two nights and only stayed for one. Late, wasted one night's room fee and went to another hotel.

Students who are suitable for studying abroad temporarily settle down, the location and environment are good, it is very convenient to go to university, and you can walk there. The key is to be safer and more secure. The surrounding traffic is also very convenient, it was a good staying experience, thanks to the good service of the store.

We booked this hotel online the pictures on the site that the hotel provided was not accurate at all. Was spending the weekend there for travel ball softball tournament. When we arrived we where iffy by just looking at area. We checked in arrived at our room the hotel was ran down looked like most people lived there. Trash piled up at cans, lose trash on ground. Walked into room and the smell of stale cigarettes and **** knocked you off your feet. Bathroom was dirty, holes in bedding, the microwave wasnt cleaned on inside or outside the refrigerator was dirty inside the microwave was missing the glass plate. Went straight back to front desk told them about the room and misleading photos they said would give our money back. When I checked my bank card I was refunded one night but then recharged my card. Called the lady she said give it 24-48 hours. After 48 hours nothing called in man I spoke with claimed to be management said 4-5 business days I called my bank explained to them the situation was told by them if money isnt back on in the 4-5 business days I need to file a dispute. Please save your self time and hassle and avoid this hotel at all cost. I included some of the photos I took.
