Olentangy Motor Inn - Columbus, Ohio

Best Kept Secret in the area. My son will be a freshman at OSU this fall. Have to come for new student activities. Gave this a shot for the price and location. Definetly 5 stars on everything! Rooms were remodeled. Cute retro rooms with touch lamps. TV's were big with alot of channels. 6 minutes to OSU Student Union. Plenty of electronic outlets. I like the easy access outdoor entrances. Plenty of restaurants and stores in the area. I'll stay here EVERY TIME I COME DOWN!!

Lovely inn! Exceptionally clean, easy to access from the freeway and very close to the north market (15 minutes on the bus!). The room was so much nicer than I was expecting - honestly, nicest motel type accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. Very clean, massive TV, warm and comfortable bed. Our friend who came to stay in another room also could bring his dogs (for a modest extra fee), which was pretty nice. In the morning they also gave us a coffee and breakfast sandwich, which was generously sized and very tasty! Definitely hope to stay here again - perfect for weekend trips to Columbus.

Unfortunately, my experience fell significantly short of expectations, and I believe it is important to bring these issues to attention.

Upon arrival, we encountered a dirty room, and the fridge was not functioning. We were switched to another room, which was also not clean. I was disappointed to find a soiled toilet seat that I had to clean myself with wipes I had in my luggage. After a long day of travel, we simply wanted to rest, but instead, we were met with these unpleasant conditions.

During our stay, we struggled to get a good night's sleep due to a creaky bed, which made it difficult to rest after a long day at our convention. Additionally, we noticed that our room did not receive housekeeping services during our stay, which was disappointing.

When I brought these issues to the attention of your staff, I was met with rudeness rather than understanding. I also encountered unhelpfulness at the coffee shop, where I was refused oat milk despite its availability. I had hoped for a more accommodating response, especially given the circumstances.

While I understand that no establishment is perfect, the lack of cleanliness and customer service left a negative impression. I would appreciate a gesture of goodwill. I explained this to the manager after being met with total directed, eye rolls, and being told the manager will do nothing.
The manager said they could only do a full refund or none and that my complaint didn’t warrant that.

The floor where you place your feet down even and bare feet on the bathroom was even filthy. The pics don’t even show how dirty it was. The pubes in the toilette and shower are not posted.

It was a pretty average place to stay. The room itself was nice, and the location was good too. However, the breakfast they offered was not what I expected, wasn’t very vegetarian friendly. It only had one beyond sausage sandwich, and that was just bread, cheese, and beyond meat.

Service was excellent. I just got discharged from a week in the hospital, and when I called to ask questions about my girlfriend's reservation, they put a note in our file to make sure our room was walker-accessible, the bathroom had plenty of handrails and a seat in the shower, allowing me to take my first shower since before my hospitalization. I cannot express enough how thankful I am.

We had a great stay from start to finish! The night staff Alley made the trip even better. She was very professional and knowledgeable! She really helped us. The tv's were nice, the showers were loved by my family, and we loved how there was a cafe attached. We will definitely be going back!

Love this little place! Excellent and friendly service and the room was spotless and very well kept. Super convenient to Ohio Stadium- we were able to walk to the game with no problem. Very reasonable on the pricing too. No free breakfast but Bob Evan’s is right next door and there is a built in coffee shop at the Inn. Very pleasantly surprised.

We were in town for the OSU game. We wanted some place to stay that was walking distance to the stadium. This location was perfect.
We were pleasantly surprised with how nice and clean the rooms were.
The beds were very comfortable.
The shower was exceptionally clean.
Bonus...the free breakfast sandwich and coffee each morning of your stay...very tasty.
Check in/out was very easy.
Didn't hear alot of noise around or above us. Train tracks beside was not a problem.
Bob Evans next door had great food as we went there for dinner, only because we didn't want to drive anywhere.
We will definitely stay here again if we are in town.
