I am amazed by the hotel's great location, tucked behind some commercial retail shops in Columbus, Indiana, at the end of a dead-end street. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although the AC was a bit noisy. The staff was extremely friendly and always around to help. The dining experience was unexpectedly delightful, with delicious and ample food options. However, it could get a bit tight during busy times. The hotel's facilities were well-maintained and worth a visit.
