Perfect property to stay at when you’re attending something held at the stadium. The ease of checking in whenever we wanted to after 3pm was a life saver. Property is clean and well maintained with friendly staff and wonderful amenities. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future!

Great location, perfect for a football weekend as campus is a 15 minute walk. Offstreet parking a plus!! The house is well appointed & clean. Key codes to get in front door & your room so privacy assured. Other guests were staying of course but I had no concerns with any excessive noise during the weekend. 2 Bathrooms, never had to wait. I will be staying again in the future as I go to Columbus every year for a football game, honestly I enjoyed it more than a hotel as it made me feel like a student again and I'm 65 years old!

Property wasnt bad at all! Definitely wasnt expecting what i walked into definitely not worth $100 for a one night stay. Room was very nice but super small which wasnt really listed on the listing, ended up using the hot tub and just going home.

Home was lovely -- clean, inviting, easy to find and access. Bed and bedding were clean and neat and comfortable. Host was friendly and helpful. Guests sharing my room were loud, rude and disgusting. Barely slept from other guests snoring loudly, blowing their nose (one was sick) and turning on the lights from 2am to 6am. I wish it had been a more enjoyable stay, but I barely slept.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all my needs were met and that my stay was as smooth as possible. The facilities were clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, creating a perfect balance of community and privacy. Whether it was offering great local tips, adjusting to my schedule, or simply checking in to make sure I was happy, their kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their guests. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel at home while traveling, this is it. I’ll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

There was a small hiccup in checking in as my email wasnt showing check in instructions, but Mat was very helpful and te twd the information to me! When you first come in, the common area is very welcoming and it is easy to navigate to your room! There are bins provided for you yo store your snacks and tape provided to mark all fridge and bin items! The rooms have a TV with Amazon and Netflix already installed and signed in! Security is very reliable, an individual pin for each party to enter the house, then another pin for your room! Would definitely book with them again!

I had an issue upon arrival, late at night, with proper access to the property. I was supposed to have received an email with entry codes and directions. However, I did not receive any communication from the property itself, only a confirmation email from hotels.com, where I booked the reservation. My only issue is if the property is going to use a 3rd party vendor for booking, then they need to provide more communication with the vendor or directly to the patron. I had to reach hotels.com customer service, who were able to reach the property manager and he was able to forward me the information to get inside. However, this was approximately 90 minutes after arrival and going past midnight local time. The manager explained the situation and error and the accommodations were good. But, if you book through any site other than directly through the property, be very aware that you need to reach them directly in advance to get check in information. This is the first time booking a hostel through hotels.com and was not made aware by the vendor or property of very specific details about receiving an email in advance, nor had any reason to think there would be an issue checking in on my arrival. The stay was good, but the communication and coordination was definitely not what I expected or anticipated during my trip.
