Check in went smooth, had to do a 100$ deposit , that said i would get it back within 3 buisness days, today is the 3rd day and i havnt gotten it back. Blankets had cigarette burns, AC was dirty and things that should be white were yellow with most likely nicotine since it smelled of it too. Tried adding the photos but hotels app isnt allowing

Staff did their best, but the sink in bathroom could not empty water, the shower sprayed all over the place, the hallway carpets were stained dirty, the noisy refrigerator kept me awake during the night. Some of the furniture was decrepit; the back parking lot was dark and desperately needs lighting to discourage would be theives, etc. A bad experience, but I trust for the immigrant people who seem to be running the place that attention can be given to bring this facility to a higher rating. It certainly has a great location.

Friendly staff, far below average room
Staff was friendly. That was the only real positive. Cleanliness and maintenance were an issue. Towels were worn and stained, the bed was so worn out when you sit down you can feel the strings in the mattress. Also, the air conditioning did not blow enough cool air to keep the room at a comfortable temperature.

The room itself was ok about average for the price. At night it got pretty scary because of all the thugs and stuff around the hotel, and in the parking lot. They don't mention the $100 deposit when you purchase the room. It isn't until you get there do you find out. Will be staying at better hotels next visit to columbus.
