I was going to rate this hotel a "4" but before starting I read the previous reviews. Management has responded in prior review to the same type of items that I will write about below ... so it looks like there is a BIG management problem at this hotel, as the items that they said that they would be acting on have NOT been acted on yet.
Breakfast: not sure how they can screw up standard issue Marriott eggs, but they do. It is terribly dry (tip: use the shredded cheese to make it edible). It doesn't matter what time you come to breakfast: your eggs will be dry.
Cleanliness: This hotel is very new. But, I am wondering how long it will look this way. Housekeeping/maintenance is very lax, and there are a number of wear and tear items that this hotel should not be evidencing for their age. I was surprised to see left over popcorn in my ice bucket when I used it the first night, and the carpet had a big stain right as you walked in the room.
Parking: I am not sure how they got zoned for as few parking spaces as they did, but they clearly do NOT have enough parking spaces. We left one morning (one of the few cars not blocked in) and there were twenty+ cars parked along curbs, etc, that obviously were not able to find spaces when returning for the night.
On the plus side, the decor of the hotel is very modern. And, it is close to OSU, but, as someone pointed out earlier, you will need a car to go anywhere. Very close to a shopping center with very good restaurants and department stores.
