Really quirky, great location for an evening in the city. Staff are fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Columbus is a busy street, so some noise, but not too bad.

It’s clear that when you book through a third-party, that you did not receive the same attention that you would if you booked directly with the hotel. When you check in they make it clear that you booked through a third-party which is really not necessary. Our room was extremely dusty and had spill marks down the side of the furniture and was not clean.

Very clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very cramped though, to the degree it was hard to shut the door! Could hear guests in adjoining room. They were quiet but would be a problem if loud. Great location and price.
