We did uber eats since valet parked the car for us. Registration staff said valet was the cheapest parking option but I don’t know what the other options were. Everyone was very nice and friendly. One drawback about the room was every time some someone flushed in a nearby room we heard it. The super jet toilets are loud lol.

This property is right on the OSU campus (North). It was perfect for orientation, as check in was a few minutes away. The overnight dorm accommodations for my daughter were also within a few minutes from the hotel, which made it very convenient. Parking is paid, but I left the car in the lot the entire time we were there, and everything was within walking distance - including food, Target, etc. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. I highly recommend it, and we would stay there again.

We stay here when we come up for concerts. We also like to stay an extra night to give us time to talk around. Any food or last minute needs we have are all usually found within a 15-20 minute walking distance(with a Kroger less than a 10 drive away). The staff is always great and rooms are always clean and modern. I will continue to return.

smelly slippers

So my stay was great all around -- the only thing is: the free slippers that come with the bathrobe smell HORRENDOUS -- someone should unwrap a pair and see what I mean -- I immediately closed them in a trash bag. Other than that - the stay was wonderful!! i will certainly return
