Staff at the hotel was terrific, especially Jerri at the front desk and Marjean at the breakfast room. The room was clean with great amenities including a full size refrigerator. Our only complaint was that the pillows are too soft!

Great stay! We were able to fix food in our room so that made it less expensive than going out to eat the whole time we were there.

We had a great stay. Just 1 night on a road trip. We did not need access to the OSU campus but the location was good. Parking was OK. The room was clean and comfortable. Access to the bar/restaurant at the attached Marriott was a perk. The breakfast was great.
