What Guests Say About Their Stay

I stayed here all the time when it was the Varsity Inn, because it's so close to OSU campus (walkable) and restaurants, shops, and even a movie theatre. But it really started going downhill after a bit. Thankfully, new owners purchased it, gave it a much-needed facelift, AND added a legit coffee shop to the lobby (so now your stay comes with a free cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich). The rooms are small but clean and stylish, and all include a mini-fridge, microwave, and a large screen TV. The beds & linens are comfy, and front desk staff are friendly (and will also make you a latte' :) ). And at budget prices, you really can't do better.

Super nice and convenient location! Near shops and close enough to the fairgrounds I didn’t feel the need to use the highway.

The motor inn was ok. The room was renovated and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good - a sandwich and coffee from the coffee shop .
The floors were not clean though and the night reception was ok but not friendly . Maybe it was late and she was tired but she didn’t smile once . Although I booked 2 rooms under one reservation with two names she wouldn’t have me check in for both . I was impressed that it had a good review rating so I booked it . But it’s overpriced in my opinion

The rooms seem to have been updated recently and were ok . But that’s about it. This is a typical motel. People were smoking on the opened hallway to the rooms. There is no front desk. We took our room keys from a lady in a back kitchen. The pillows were so bad and we woke up with severe neck pain. I would never stay at this place again. Should have paid the extra money and stayed at the neighboring regular decent hotels
