We were able to check in upon arrival which was before the 4 pm check in time. That was very nice. The checkin process was quick and easy (although our keys didn't work the elevator - we had to return to have keys redone). The room was in perfectly clean condition. The location is great for attending a Blue Jackets game. Check out was very quick.

After becoming a pet safe hotel, they still do not have a spot for pets to relive themselves. Or at least the workers didn’t know of a location of a “potty spot”. Besides this, it was an amazing time. Thank you.
