Football weekend
We were in town for the Ohio State football game. Chose hotel based on proximity to campus. The hotel offered a shuttle service towards (and from) the stadium which was convenient! We ended up hiking back to the hotel (long but not terrible even at 24 degrees!). Check in was easy! Staff was great!

Pet Friendly (with a cost)
We were able to get a room quickly and easily online to avoid unnecessary waiting at the desk, but the online source said pet friendly while mentioning nothing about an extra fee. I mentioned our 2 pets that we were moving with and the front counter worker hopped on the opportunity to charge me $45 just for having pets stay with us. The bathroom smelled like the plumbing was backed up or something the whole stay (from the moment we walked in, until the moment we walked out it smelled like a hint of sewage). Overall it was a comfortable enough stay, but the smelly bathroom and hidden pet fee was very inconvenient.
