We have stayed here before and had a great experience. This time, the room never cooled enough and the air had a humid/moist feel.
The water pressure was way too light.
Maybe it was just our particular room.

Accommodating
Choose this hotel because of the outdoor pool. I had a book and mid day time to kill. We arrived and the pool was being serviced and dry. We opted to change hotels the next night and the front desk was kind to let us out of the three night commitment. Lobby was updated. Staff was friendly.

Came to visit my daughter at OSU for the weekend. I always have good experience with Holiday inn including this particular branch. The breakfast is nice.

The pool was out of service/ turning green/ had out of order tape across the door and this was not disclosed when booking or upon checking in. It was a huge disappointment to my youngest son who was looking forward to swimming. Boo Holiday Inn! This should be have been mentioned or your rates should reflect this amenity being broken.

First of all the $300 plus price was not worth it. I have stayed in 5 star hotels for this price. They up the price for parents weekend and it was not worth it. The rooms are outdated. The remote was hard to work and elevator doors would not shut sometimes.
The staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The location is close to a lot of things.

It’s well located, restaurants and retailers are at walking distance.
Lobby and elevator are dusty and it’s visible to the guests. Carpets on hallways are not well maintained.
The room is spacious but needs to be updated. Shower curtains were stained and very limited on towels.
For a $400 weekend per night you expect a better and more well maintained hotel.
