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.

Recently renovated, spotlessly clean, and surprisingly well-designed — outlets and room layout are thoughtfully done. The PTAC unit works perfectly, which matters when it’s cold outside. Staff are genuine and friendly without any pretense. Free breakfast is decent. Giving it a five star that it deserves
