“Staying here puts you close to the Ohio State Fairgrounds, but be aware that some rooms have cleanliness issues like stained carpets and damaged fixtures. Also, the surrounding area raises safety concerns, with reports of loitering and potential parking issues. I think it's a budget option if location is your only priority, but do consider the documented upkeep and security issues.”
