With a public rating of 3.5 out of 5 from 45 reviews, it reads as a simple, value-driven stop rather than a full-service hotel.

Downtown sights such as the Ohio Statehouse (about 9.5 km), Columbus Commons (about 9.5 km), and the Scioto Mile Fountain (about 9.9 km) are also a short drive away.

Best for

Best suited to price-sensitive travelers who want an inexpensive base on the east side of Columbus with straightforward access to downtown attractions. It can also work for visitors planning day trips to Franklin Park Conservatory, Otherworld (about 5.7 km), and central cultural sites like the Columbus Museum of Art without needing a resort-style property.

Travel tips

Because amenities are not documented, confirm key needs (such as in-room fixtures and basic comforts) directly with the property before arrival. Plan on driving or using rideshare to reach the main visitor hubs—downtown attractions like COSI, North Market, and the Scioto Mile are roughly 10 km away. For nearby nature breaks, Blacklick Woods Metro Park is closer (about 6.9 km) and can be an easy add-on between city stops.
