I booked the hotel for my husband. He liked it, for he can dine in the next door hotel Marriott OSU. It was convenient for him. And the hotel includes breakfast, which is a good one. He stayed there twice. And he liked it much more.

Overall, a really solid stay! The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the room layout was actually well thought out — the couch setup made it feel a little less like “just another hotel room” and more comfortable for relaxing. Only two complaints: the indoor pool must’ve been filled directly from an iceberg in Alaska, and the body wash container in the shower was emptier than my wallet after vacation. 😂 Other than that, great experience and I’d definitely stay again!
