Total disrepair
Check in at the desk went well, beyond that the stay was awful. Got to the room and the toilet was clogged. Called down about it, wait about a half hour and a guy handed me a flimsy plunger and walked away.
Doors are busted up, everything is stained, beds uncomfortable. Paying more than $200 one night is ridiculous.

Not the nicest hotel but it served my purpose. It was an easy 30 min walk to the OSU stadium and there were a few food choices right across the road.
