Room was small, but new shower was very nice. Area around the motel was crummy, but location near OSU is good. Only a McDonald's to walk to for breakfast, but OK. We didn't have a microwave or refrigerator because my husband is allergic to pets, so we chose the third floor where pet owners don't stay.

The remodel and upgrades were very nice!! The shower was amazing. There were strong smells of weed in certain areas/rooms. But thankful it was not near or around our room. Overall, I was very please with the room for the price. We stayed here a few years ago, and it was not this nice, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The lobby was being renovated when we arrived, and the check-in was in a room on the main floor (a little bit odd), but once we got to our room, it was fine, fully renovated, clean sheets, and the best thing in the room was the shower. It had a great water pressure! I enjoyed my showers. I guess once the lobby is renovated, everything will look more in place.
