“The hotel stands out for its clean accommodations and complimentary breakfast, which I find particularly convenient for families or business travelers with early schedules. Its proximity to the Ohio Expo Center and other venues is a real advantage, especially considering the gated parking. While the immediate area might raise concerns for some, the hotel itself delivers solid comfort and practical amenities.”
