We had an appt with lawyers for tomorrow. It is a two hour drive to Columbus Oh, so we wanted to go down the day before. On our way today, our attorney called and said they had to cancel tomorrow's appt and rescheduled us for Dec 10. We turned around and came home. I tried calling the hotel, they said contact Expedia. Wanted to change reservation to Dec 9-10, one night, two beds, just like we had booked for today. Wrote to contact Expedia and your reply was withdrawing the funds from my acct. Now, will need to spend the money again next week. Our nerves were already shot from thinking about this visit with the attorney. Then to lose our money too... it was heartbreaking. Most likely will not use Expedia again any time soon. It's not like we have extra money to throw away. Very hurt, Martha Scofield

For the location and price, it wasn't bad. If you have a need to be on the south side of downtown, I would stay here. Decent price and reasonably clean with a good fitness room. The onsite parking is somewhat limited, and very tight if you have a truck
