For the price you're paying it's an excellent choice. Clean room. Hallways a bit dated. But who cares. NOTE: this hotel shares a parking lot with a different hotel that's a lower quality. So make sure you check into the right hotel when you get there.

Not bad, was a bit frustrated with the cash deposit thing cause it was late traveling with a little one but the property manager needs to protect their interests as well so I get it. Everything went smoothly and we were back on the road well rested. I actually slept really well.

Good place just to crash for a couple nights. But you definitely get what you pay for! I will say that the staff was nice and welcoming but the place itself inside and outside was sketchy and dirty. Hair on the beds, stains on the blankets, holes in the walls (covered by a wash rag) stains on the walls, expired leftover food in the mini fridge, lots of stomping on the above floor, and the smell of mold. The younger locals we met in Columbus questioned why we were staying there and that the neighborhood/other hotels/motels surrounding the Econo Lodge are bad news, full of drugs, crime, and CPS involvement.

Receptionist was nice. Easy check-in and check-out. Front desk area was clean and neat. Toilet did not flush, had to fill a bucket to flush it. Bathroom door handle was broken. Shower had hot water and good pressure. Bed sheets had stains on them.

Unclean area around this and neighboring hotels. Has a lot of traffic all hours of the night. Room was worn out and bath tub was pretty gross.

Good Service

Our stay was very good. The TV in our room did not work and when we asked the desk clerk about it, he came immediately and said that one hasn't worked and they were waiting for repair. We were given another room and it was bigger and better!

2/10 Poor

Weird experience

Very sketchy crowd always in parking lot, hair in shower, entire building smell like smoke, noisy, traffic constantly in hallways….however, the room was decent and bed comfy. It just felt weird like in a movie. The management, staff just very strange characters like American Horror

The person at the front desk was pleasant and the bed was comfortable, but that’s the only positive we could find. The parking lot was in need of repair and very dimly lit. There was hair in the sink, in the bathtub. Sticky stains on the wall. No instructions for wifi or the TV. No breakfast in the morning. Only had one pot of coffee and there was no creamer. Have stayed in a lot of lower end hotels and this was one of the worst.

4/10 Fair

The staff was really nice. I had no shower curtain. I had to go ask for one after I took a shower because I didn’t realize it when I got into the shower. There was a water drip in the bathtub and the only way you didn’t hear it is if you kept the fan on in the bathroom. The door knob in the bathroom almost fell off. The side door outside could not be locked so it was open for anyone to come in to the hotel. The towels were very hard and had stains on them. The staff did offer to change rooms because of the water drip, but we had already been there a day so I declined. There was no hairdryer in the room, but I did go down and asked for one and they gave me one. Overall, the staff was very nice, but the hotel needs a lot of updating and it doesn’t look good on the outside and on the inside. Very loud and people hang big outside of hotel and hotel next door didn’t feel very safe

6/10 Good

We stayed at this hotel on the first night and the last night of vacation. The two stays couldn’t be any different. First stay - there were a lot of druggie tweakers in the parking lot when we arrived. Screens were out on the first floor and you could see the people in the rooms dealing drugs to the people in the parking lot. We pulled into the lot and we didn’t want to stay here. We were afraid to leave our expensive gear in our rooms to go eat. The room was outdated and dingy. Pillows and towels were awful. But….none of our motorcycles were messed with. We were expecting the worst when we went to the parking lot the following morning but not a single bike in our group was tampered with. Second stay - our entire group was completely dreading staying here again. When we pulled in the parking lot, there were no druggies. All the screens were on the windows. We got a room on the opposite side from where we stayed the first time and had a really nice room. Everything worked and there was a blow dryer. I’d swear it was a different hotel, NOTHING was the same as 6 days prior. I’d stay here again if I knew I’d get the good section of the hotel. Great location with gas and restaurants near by. I’m not even sure how to rate this hotel since I’d swear I was in a Twilight Zone episode because what we experienced on the first stay was the opposite of our second stay.
