This property served the purpose. You get what you pay for. Would not recommend on Ohio State game weekends- the loudness and disrespect of guests at all hours of the night (including rude, loud couple at 4 am in morning heard through a door adjoining rooms. Not good sound proofing from floors, in hallways, etc.
