Best for

Best suited to budget-minded road-trippers and pass-through travelers who want an easy on/off stop at I-70 and US-42 (Exit 79). It can also work for visitors planning day outings to nearby parks and lakes such as Madison Lake State Park and Prairie Oaks Metro Park, given the short driving distances.

Travel tips

A car is the most practical way to get around, since the hotel is highway-oriented and the nearby parks and lakes (Madison Lake, Prairie Oaks, Battelle Darby Creek) are a drive away. If you’re sensitive to mattress firmness or prefer newer interiors, consider confirming room condition details before arrival, as reviews mention dated rooms and very hard beds. For flights, plan on roughly 40+ km to Columbus-area airports (John Glenn Columbus International and Rickenbacker), and about 72 km to Dayton International.

What guests say

Reviews most often mention good value for the price, with some guests noting a solid set of in-room conveniences and room service. Staff hospitality and service quality are cited positively. Cleanliness is a recurring positive point, but there are also complaints indicating inconsistent upkeep, including reports of dated rooms and very firm beds. A smaller set of feedback raises serious concerns about property condition and deposit/refund handling, suggesting experiences can vary widely.
