I loved staying there. It was clean, I just don’t agree with hotels cleaning rooms every other day. Aside from that it was great. The staff at the front desk was also very kind. There was one employee who could learn to be a little more afable , smile.

Quick access to Schottenstein for concerts. Don't wait in the line to access parking on side of the street the Schott is on, go up to the light and make a U-turn and park in the lot across the street from the Schott. Easy right turn back to hotel after the concert.
