There was no one at the desk when I arrived to check in. Appararently they were short staffed that night. I am 70 years old traveling with a dog and there was no one available to help me with my luggage. I was told they are not a full service hotel and they don't do that there. I have stayed at other hotels charging $200+ a night and have never been told they were not full service. And I had an extremely unpleasant run-in with the night clerk Sonya at around 12:30am. Check your video of the front desk if you have it. She should be fired,

Breakfast was fine. The area was too small though. Everything was crowded together in a small space which caused a long line. The staff were very accommodating and the hotel was very clean.

In town for the Brandon Lake concert and chose to stay here based on other reviews. The property is easy to find and has a nice sized parking lot. We arrived a little early but the room was ready and the girl that checked us in was so sweet. We used the shuttle service to take us to The Schottenstein Center. The bus was clean and the driver was super friendly. It was really nice to be dropped off and picked up after the concert. (I wish I had checked into that ahead of time because I had paid for parking…oh well, lesson learned. Hopefully by putting it here, it’ll help someone else not make my mistake. lol) The shuttle was free; they work off of gratuity so be courteous ((wink wink)). He even had the option to scan a QR code for cash app or Venmo. So if you’re like me and don’t typically have cash, you’re all set. Overall, this has been a great trip. Would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel.
