Hotel staff, specifically " Mo" at the front desk, was extremely well spoken, efficient and friendly. Literally the best customer service I have encountered in years. Hotel was also extremely clean, breakfast options were great, room was exceptionally clean with comfortable bed. Price was very good considering what hotels are charging lately. Will stay here again when in columbus area, especially near osu and Clintonville area.

And of course, the "public areas" of "Hampton Inn style hotels are more open and inviting. Yet, I stayed in a Comfort Inn (owned by the same corporate group) that was equally nice albeit a less "lux" public space, for considerably less...
