It exceeded my expectations for sure. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, they had Bath and Bodyworks products for the shower. We got 2 single beds and the room had a large TV, a keurig, microwave, fridge, and desk. There was also a rack to hang any delicate garments. Basically, it had every amenity needed. The wifi was strong. Also, an added perk of not going to a chain motel is that you have direct control of the heating/air conditioning unit. No messing with a thermostat on the wall and crossing your fingers here! We didn't have much interaction with the staff but the contact we did have was pleasant.

Thought this was the perfect place to stay. My wife needed to be at The James for surgery at 5am. Friday morning. As soon as we arrived there were issues. Checked in, went to the room, only to find the room had not been cleaned. (See pics) Had to go back to the front deck and to get a different room. Next room issues. Loose handicap railing in the shower. Bolts were behind the railing flange at the end of rail instead of being in the rail attaching it to the wall. I removed the bolts from the wall and finger tighten so rail was safe for my wife to shower. Next, water my wife accidentally sprayed out on the floor. Did not go to the floor drain. It ran past the floor drain and surrounded the toilet. Had to use all the extra bath towels to dry the floor. This all happening around 9 pm. Thought no problem, I'll go to the front desk and get some. Nope, the only thing the clerk could give me was bath floor towel. Said they had no bath towels. Suggested he go to a room that wasn't being used and get towels. He told me he was not authorized to that. Also note, the bath floor mats smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Really nice for someone who needed to be super clean for surgery first thing in the morning. As other reviews have stated. All room door are on the outside of the build and do have gapes at the bottom of the door. And yes, a train track runs right next to the building and the train runs 3 times during the night. At least during our stay. Should have known. There were only 4 cars in the parking lot at the Olentangy Inn. While the Marriott next to the inn was about full. I would and wil not recommend this place to anyone. Cost was $130 for one night. We paid that same amount just 4 days earlier at the Fairfield Inn just up the road. Much nicer place with a Continental breakfast awaiting you in the morning.

First, this was the perfect location for us to visit our two OSU college students. It was within walking distance to the Ohio Stadium for the game. The room was very clean. The beds were so comfortable! I have nothing bad to say of our stay. This was a great place to stay and I will be staying again. Thank you to the staff for being so accommodating and nice! I highly recommend The Olentangy Motor Inn!

We made a reservation and were given a rate. We paid for it then when we returned for our check in date they had "lost the registration " They refused us the rate they had sold us the room at. We had already checked out of our other hotel and were told unless we paid the new rate $1175 we would be homeless in columbus that week . NO THANK YOU. ILL BE HOMELESS BEFORE I EVER GIVE THEM A CENT YOU CANT DO THAT TO PEOPLE
