First room was occupied, second was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast menu is limited and doesn’t make sense (you can have a breakfast sandwich that costs $5.xx but can’t substitute a bagel with cream cheese that costs $2.xx). Having the drive-thru attached was nice for coffee in the mornings

Arrived, at check-in. No one around. Went in cafe and back to check in. Knocked on the window. Staff less than welcoming. Said he was having a bad night. Bed and shower great. Night light, which doesn't turn off kept me up. Next morning went down for free breakfast, (breakfast sandwich), and coffee, (no decaf). It was 2 minutes after 9. Refused to serve me due to 2 minutes late. Made decaf in the room. Creamers were curdled and some dried. Bought coffee. Brought fruit for trip which I put in the fridge. Fruit froze. No way to turn down temp of the fridge. Left for our day activities and returned. No housekeeping. Only towel replacement. Got up next day and got breakfast sandwich. It was dry and had clearly been setting in the warmer. Coffee almost gone and cold. Ice machine broken. Came back to room later, no housekeeping. Husband complained and lady said she would make a note for housekeeping. Had to ask for creamer, coffee cups, wash rags, etc. Got up the next day, sure we would have housekeeping. Got back in the evening. No housekeeping. Complained to front desk. Lady apologetic, said she would notify supervisor. No follow-up from said supervisor. Went to lobby to get supplies. Lady was defensive and implied I was acting upset. Brought supplies. Questioned why I didn't just call down instead. Ask for tissue and she said, \"that wasn't on the list\", but did supply. Packing to leave in AM. Fridge item frozen solid. Hole in can. Garbage never emptied by staff over 4 nights.

Loved the night light in the bathroom. I always said that hotels should have that instead of keeping the light / fan with door ajar for the kids.

I alwatslove a nice long sink counter for the makeup, etc..

The touch lamp was a great idea on the desk.

Also, I liked having 2 pull down window shades. The one let the light in without anybody seeing in and the othere was for bedtime.

Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are a great quick way to get in snd out.

Getting a free coffee and breakfast sandwich at the front desk/coffee shop was an added bonus. Being able to park in front of your room and have close access to your vehicle is always a bonus! I will definitely be staying here again when visiting Columbus!

Almost called police at 3AM due to dispute outside our room. Asked to cancel Sunday night stay due to feeling unsafe. Was advised they would refund, however charged full amount. Staff lacked knowledge or adequate customer service. Little to no concern about safety concerns. Will not return.

Great for OSU Games

The room itself was very basic, but it was clean and well kept, which is really all we needed. Everything worked as it should, and the bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. This place works great for Ohio State football games — convenient, affordable, and easy in and out on game day. If you’re looking for simple and clean with a good location for OSU games, this gets the job done.

Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast sandwich was excellent. I have been staying in Columbus once a week for the past 3 months for visits at the James. This place has been the only place I have stayed that the place was worth the money I paid.

The check in with the staff was flawless. My son and I were spending the weekend at Galaxycon in Columbus, OH. We were traveling from out of town and really did not want to have to wait to check in at the normal time of 4pm. So we called and we were able to explain our situation and our itinerary for the day. Without hesitation we were able to get checked in early. The room was pristine. Very clean, smelled good and over all a great room 2 doors down from the office. We felt wanted and safe. I would certainly stay here again and I encourage others to do so as well.

We enjoyed our stay - clean, friendly staff, easy parking and great breakfast sandwich and coffee too. Took off one star because our room was at the very back next to the train tracks and the train noise woke me up a couple of times. But we would stay here again for sure!

Clean updated rooms, Staff was excellent and parking was easy. There is a train in the back nearby that was a little noisy but did not come through often. Parking was good. Breakfast sandwiches were good but would of been nice to have more options. Overall, it was a great stay especially for a Motor Inn.

Yes, it's a motel, yes it's clean, yes it's safe. I've stayed here a few times now when I've had to come in and out of town for various reasons. Rooms are quiet. Bathroom is clean. TV works. Front desk is kind of cute. How it doubles as a coffee shop? And I don't really have anything bad to say about it. Very close to downtown free parking right outside your door.

Looked like a cheap hotel from the side, the front was prettier, the attendant was kind and welcoming. The room looked recently renovated and clean but there was a little funny smell to it like storage. Breakfast area is tiny so it is best to pick up sandwiches and coffee. There was coffee etc in the room we did not use. We arrived at midnight. Although the parking looked packed it was pretty quiet in our room. We were happy with our stay and would definitely come back
