8.3 Very Good Based on 183 reviews
Editor's Pick

"Made-to-order omelets arrive at the breakfast bar, while a shuttle runs to nearby Ohio State University campus destinations. Rooms include microwaves, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffee makers. Right for football fans, less so for anyone requiring consistent front-desk professionalism."
