Pleasant helpful staff, quick easy check in when I arrived very late and tired. Very clean, my #1 priority! Very small tight parking lot, plenty of extra parking, very short walk maybe 2 min but technically 2 properties over. Would stay again, next time hope to visit The Book Loft!

This a lovely gem of a place to stay in the German Village area of Columbus. The place is clean, the beds are very comfy, the breakfast is good, and the staff is delightful. After a sub-par home rental experience, this place felt like complete luxury.

This is not the usualy place we stay at when in Columbus but it is now definitely our nee back up spot when #1 pick is booked. Great downtown location. Stayed July 3rd for Red White Boom. Night time front desk lady was very cool. Kept the pool opened all night long.

The front desk staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made checking in and out very easy. The beds were clean and comfortable, we didn’t make use of the amenities but they looked great and folks were using the pool. In the morning, the continental breakfast had great options and was a nice perk. The location was convenient and had a lot of bars and restaurants in walking distance. I would definitely stay again!
