Meh, probably wouldn’t stay again
Hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Staff were friendly at checkin. Bed was good but pillows were lumpy flat things that weren’t very comfortable. Sound proofing doesn’t exist- sounded like a herd of elephants in the room above when they were simply walking around, and could hear them talking. Heating/AC unit is one that turns off and on all night, and isn’t intuitive since there’s a thermostat on the wall that seemed to do nothing but could be controlled from the unit itself. Bathroom area is more open than most hotels- a partial wall between sink and bedroom area, and a sliding door separating the shower/toilet so middle of the night trips easily wake people up. Overall it was ok, but probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again.

Location for OSU was excellent. Room was quiet. Comfortable bed. The area in room had a very small table to work on. It isn't unworkable, but not great by any means. Front desk was disengaged at checkout. I asked for copy of bill. I was given the bill for another guest. Will have to see whether the charge ends up correct. There is a restaurant (Cap City Diner) that shares parking lot. It is excellent. Great food, relatively inexpensive.
