Olentangy Motor Inn

I stayed here during the recent snow storm, and it was incredible, I loved how cozy the hotel room was. And the internet! Amazing speeds, I was able to stream for the whole night playing Minecraft and had zero issues with buffering or latency. The beds were incredibly soft and so were the pillows (im a hard pillow sleeper tho, so I had to stack my pillows to create the firmness I wanted) the showers water pressure... guys it was so much better than I expected, also if you forgot any shampoo and such, they have lovely tangerine options to really help make you feel clean. Its nice to open your door or window too, and just see the snow. It was so lovely.

We had a great stay overall! This is a charming, budget-friendly spot with everything you need if you’re not planning to spend a ton of time in your room. The space has been updated, the location is super convenient for getting into downtown Columbus, and the breakfast is a pleasant surprise — especially the coffee, which was genuinely excellent. We also appreciated the complimentary sandwich and coffee voucher. However, cleanliness was a concern. The floors were extremely dirty — after walking across the room once, the bottoms of our feet were black, and the shower mat picked up a LOT of dirt as well after being on the floor just once. The linens were also on the thin, scratchy side. I’d recommend bringing a pair of flip-flops or slippers for the room and maybe an extra blanket for comfo

Well we got here around 8:30 pm. The woman behind the desk was wearing a Bluey hoodie—first sign. She was weird, rude, and made things uncomfortable. In any event, she told us the free coffee and sandwich went until 10:30 in the morning. My girlfriend and I walked up there at 10:10 to get ours. The woman behind the desk (not Bluey) told us “that ended at 10.” I told her we were told 10:30 and recalled the conversation to the word, which I recited back. She just stared at us. Not only did they tell us the wrong time, but they couldn’t give them to us regardless? Is that how customer service works out here in Columbus? Or is it just the Motor Inn? Anyways, rooms are musty smelling. As many others have said. The floor is pitch black. Disgusting. No bed bugs thankfully, that we saw. It was 10

Staying here while getting testing and care at OSU Medical Center. This hotel is perfect. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, free coffee and breakfast from the Crimson Cup. Fridge, microwave, large flat-screen tv, Keurig in room. And completely affordable! Great place to stay!

I have nothing bad to say about this place. Google lists it as a 2-star hotel but I would say it easily on par with any 3-star place I have stayed. The rooms were clean, staff friendly/helpful, the location was nice and the coffee/sandwiches were better than something from the surrounding chains. If I find myself back in the area I will stay here again. It was a better experience (for half of the price) on all levels than had I stayed with one of the surrounding hotel chains.
