Honestly, it really wasn't that bad. I was accommodated. It did take a few days to get a TV but that was not a big deal for me, as I am not a real tv watcher. I rented the room for a week and it was not bad. I kind of miss it. There was noise from the outside but it did not bother me. I frequent there and it seems to be less noise. My room did not have roaches or spiders. My floor was clean upon moving in. I also cleaned before moving in as well. I would stay there again.
I stayed here from Oct 1st-Oct 29th 2023. In my situation (domestic violence) this place was a godsend. Yes! There are Roaches. A lot of them. And the rooms carpet was filthy but overall I enjoyed my stay. No one ever bothered me and I'm a single woman alone. Hell it's no different than living in public housing just less space. I don't have a car so between lyft, catch a cab and walking all my needs were met. Walmart is less than 30 min walking. There were ppl there with pets but it wasn't bothersome. Hell, I say if you have to stay there a while, get you some raid, some bleach, some lysol and some febreeze. You'll be alright. There's a $75 deposit that you should get back. Hell, I never had so much peace. Oh and management was awesome for me. I was polite so they were polite. That's how it works.
Nice place to stay for the money! Front desk and housekeeping ladies are very sweet and do a great job! Their rooms are nice and clean with fresh linens, flat screen TV, and a full size fridge. There are two designated pet areas which are convenient if you are staying with a pet. They have 24-hour security and the security guard is a great guy. The only drawback is the security gate which is meant to keep nonresidents out is broken and the pool is not open even after months of being told it was going to be by next week. Overall it's a nice comfortable, clean, and safe place to stay. I'd recommend it to anybody that needs a place to stay short or long-term!
Place has roaches the floors are always nasty. They don't have a full time desk employee. And she's rude as can be. Not to mention the shootings and crime.
I have been here off and on for 4 years and the rooms, service is always y'all come check it out it's the cheapest and the best place to stay
If you're not from around Columbus I suggest another place, if not a alternative location completely, unless you have no problem with diversity and a bunch of different types of people staying there, I happen to enjoy diversity and seem to manage well when or if I ever stop by and visit with friends. But if I didn't know people it would really not be a place I'd be just to stay or hangout. It's actually pretty nice now it's been painted and the place is lit up all the way at night so it not a scary place that is a major improvement..if your in a bind you can't beat the weekly specials.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
