Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Each staff person I encountered was incredibly friendly. I believe they take customer service and guest experience quite seriously here. The room is one of the most comfortable rooms I've ever stayed in. I took advantage of the rolling desk, nice desk chair, and super comfy recliner. I loved that recliner! The bed is comfy. Mattress and pillows are soft (as opposed to firm). I especially appreciate the black-out curtains which do in fact block out all the exterior light. Good black-out curtains are rare to find in a hotel. The heating / air conditioning is whisper-quiet. Appreciated having a mini-fridge, too. Ear plugs are a requirement for a good night sleep in this property. Noise carries quite clearly from other rooms, the hallway and outside the building.

Wonderful stay, super friendly staff. My only quibble was that I ran out of hot water after 2 minutes of the water running, and it went from hot to cold alarmingly quickly. Other than that everything was perfect.

Stayed in a suite. Very private with a cool view of Ohio Stadium. Only disappointment was that there was no smart tv so local tv was the only option for entertainment.
