We liked our stay so well when going that wedeliberately chose this property when we were returning home. Clean, high qualit fictures that worked (drains drained, faucets worked properly, tv and remote clean and functional, quiet well running heater, etc) and nice fresh lenins. All this at a competitivereasonable price.

Adequately sized, clean room. The beds were comfortable with quality bedding. The bathroom linen was of obviously quality with great thickness and texture. The shower was clean with amazing water pressure. There was ample hot water to spare. Check in was efficient and the clerk was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay again.

We had a great stay from start to finish! The night staff Alley made the trip even better. She was very professional and knowledgeable! She really helped us. The tv's were nice, the showers were loved by my family, and we loved how there was a cafe attached. We will definitely be going back!

The girl that works the coffee bar and check out was rude!

Awesome renovated rooms!

Convenient, clean, easy hotel to pop in for a night! I like that it’s dog friendly. The only thing missing is more green space for dogs. Otherwise, it’s great and I do recommend!

I enjoyed the room. It was perfect but there were some troubling incidents. The lock on door failed and we were locked out for over 45 minutes while various methods were tried to open the door. Finally they replaced the batteries and it worked. Why was that done first. I ended up missing my 9am appointment that I had already paid for. Upon returning to our room around 5 pm the door was unlocked and open. Evidently when maid service came to freshen the room they left the room unlocked. So from about 9 am until 5 the door wasn’t secure. And upon checking out this morning I requested a printed receipt. I was told that they couldn’t print because the printer was out of black ink and no one there could get the ink. Room was great but service was not.

We came into town for a show. We have never stayed here, but the location and price were awesome. I want to give a huge shout out to Sam. He checked us in and was very accommodating! The breakfast sandwiches and the gals in the coffee shop were outstanding! We left this morning vowing it would be the only place we need to consider for future stays!

The room was decent I was just surprised that it was actually a motel and not a hotel. I am not a fan of motels. I believe the listing referred to it as a hotel. The coffee shop attached to the motel was nice; the coffee was good as was the breakfast sandwich, which were included in our room rate and was a nice addition

My only complaint is that we had a very hard time finding the door to the entrance to check in.

I stay here when I visit my children at OSU. Exceptional service and exceptional value for my money. Don’t hesitate to stay here

We were happy to find a hotel close to The James. It provided an easy access for an early surgery date. Nice facility with a restaurant next door.

Staff were friendly and pleasant, loved having the coffee shop next door, rooms were comfortable and clean with plenty of space. Nothing fancy, but beats a lot of motels I’ve stayed at with more “stars”!

Staff was very professional. Room was clean and well kept. Didn't hear any trains or road traffic. Parked our car right outside our room. Easy walk to Ohio State Stadium.

Super clean room, recently updated bathroom and the bed and linens all very clean. Motel has Crimson Cup coffee in the lobby and a breakfast sandwich and coffee is included with the stay. Pet Friendly for $10 surcharge. The only drawbacks were that there's not even a chair in the room lol (room is quite small and the bed is HUGE) and they dont have black out curtains, and the huge flashing billboard on one side of the motel might make it hard for people to sleep. It is also right next to a frieght line, but the trains are infrequent and do not whistle. One of the best stays in Columbus for the price right now in my opinion

It was a small, but clean room. The train tracks right outside our room woke us up once, but other than that it was a good stay.

Our stay was great. Only problem was the train tracks on one side of us and the busy street on the other. Was given a free breakfast sandwich and coffee in the morning and we weren’t charged for our dogs to stay either.

Cute Motel! We stayed after a Buckeyes game and had a great experience. Quiet and great location.Clean and comfortable rooms! Would definitely stay again!

One of the best showers of any hotel I've ever stayed at -- just the strongest, most cleansing water pressure, and with invigorating spearmint eucalyptus bath products for an added spa-like experience. Room was clean and comfy, and we REALLY appreciated the free coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning. 10/10, would stay again!

Amazing stay! I was reminded about the convenience of a motor inn and parking the car right outside the door. Such a clean and quiet room. Everything recently updated. I highly recommend for a nice overnight stay.

The rooms were very clean and well decorated. We would definitely stay there again if in the area. The free breakfast sandwiches and coffees were a plus!

Place was great, had a coffee shop, and wasn’t a bad walk to the stadium!

After remodel the outside still looks a bit low rent but the interior has been nicely renovated with a modern look new furniture and bedding - The name is horrible “Olentangy Motor Inn” and to most it will always be the Varsity Inn but i would definitely stay again its super convenient to downtown and local shopping and was a comfortable nights stay! the only thing i didn’t love was i missed the free breakfast sandwich 😅

Staff was amazing.

Great place to stay for buckeye football games. Walking distance to stadium.

Was quite and clean

Nice room. Breakfast is at the attached Crimson Cup with a breakfast sandwich and cup of coffee. This is far better than most motel free breakfast offerings (IMHO).

My room was practically on the train track! When a train went by the room trembled. Not worth yhe night of lost sleep.

Very well maintained, friendly staff

Very clean! Location is awesome!! Staff was super friendly!! Room had everything we needed!! Coffee is delicious!!!

This hotel looks and feels different than your average hotel. It has a uniqueness about it. There is a drive thru coffee shop attached to the hotel. You can also walk inside the coffee shop, which is the same place you check in & out of the hotel. No hotel lobby whatsoever. Upon arrival we ordered from the coffee shop. Our frozen coffee drinks tasted incredible! Our bagels were little tough/chewy. The place was cute. Super fun lamp shade and wallpaper in the room. The room was very clean. I always check beds for cleanliness and bed bugs before I bring my stuff inside. Everything looked great. A few downsides worth mentioning: the parking spaces are directly in front of the doors which is super convenient but proved to be extremely disturbing to my sleep when people were talking loudly, laughing, and setting/unsetting car alarms at 5 a.m. The window shade lets in ALL the daylight and you can see the faces of people walking by the window. However, I couldn't really see INTO the room from outside, thankfully. Two teeny tiny trash cans: one by the entry door and one in the bathroom area. Both were very small and we definitely had trash overflowing in much less than 24 hours. We ordered from the coffee shop again upon checking out. Both our drinks were tasty and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. Service was slow because people are ordering inside the shop plus in the drive thru and they didn't seem to be staffed enough to handle all of the business they were getting.

We just needed a room to stay for the night while n Columbus and the Olentangy Motor Inn fit the bill. The room was super clean and modern - looks like it was just remodeled. And the excellent local coffee and breakfast sandwich for free was a nice touch! Overall really good deal.
