Stayed here for a visit to OSU for 2 nights. Overall, just an average property - guess I expected a little more. Basic room - was clean and everything in working order in the room. Disappointed there was not a fridge in the room - that would be a nice addition. Pool is very small, one of the smallest I have seen in a hotel of this type. Hot tub not working during my stay. Breakfast offerings are adequate, but I felt it was not as good as what I might find elsewhere. Might not stay here again if I find something else in the same price range.

Liked: Clean; good location.
Disliked: No fridge; hot tub not working.

Fairfield Columbus

Liked: The staff at the front desk were not friendly and it didn't seem like they were very interested in helping us. They were more concerned with socializing with each other. On the other hand the staff at the breakfast were very friendly. The room was clean and was perfect for two people.
