Meh, probably wouldn’t stay again
Hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Staff were friendly at checkin.
Bed was good but pillows were lumpy flat things that weren’t very comfortable. Sound proofing doesn’t exist- sounded like a herd of elephants in the room above when they were simply walking around, and could hear them talking. Heating/AC unit is one that turns off and on all night, and isn’t intuitive since there’s a thermostat on the wall that seemed to do nothing but could be controlled from the unit itself.
Bathroom area is more open than most hotels- a partial wall between sink and bedroom area, and a sliding door separating the shower/toilet so middle of the night trips easily wake people up.
Overall it was ok, but probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again.

Property was modern, clean and quiet. Bed was very comfortable! Nice common area that had football playing and games with a big deck. 1.3 mile walk to OSU stadium was super fast and easy! I would stay here again
