La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

8/10 Good
"Easy access to highway. Major construction right outside the hotel. The bed was comfortable. Pil1ows were ok. Room was clean. No toilet paper holder. Not huge deal but noticed. Front desk person was kind. Greeted with a smile. Only bad note, she rapidly spoke of the breakfast time, and wifi access instructions. If needing to travel in that area again, I would book another room. 8 out of 10."

"The hotel was so clean, and so nice! But my daughter and my Fiancé had a beautiful 2 queen size beds. But I was un doing the bed to get sleep. Their was a puck stain on one of the beds. Also, the other bed was awful. It was off the rails. But other than that it was nice. Loved the pool, and everything else"

"The room was clean and very well appointed. The air conditioning in my room blew right over the bed, which was inconvenient. I had to turn it off at some point, even though it was needed — I couldn’t handle the air blowing directly on me. Also, the train runs past the hotel. Several times throughout the night I and my friend (in another room) were woken up by it. Other than that, the hotel was excellent. The Bar on 2 had excellent service, and so-so food. It was convenient, but overpriced for the quality."

"The hotel is showing its age, but it’s very clean. Now let’s talk about the shower…I would buy a room here just for the shower pressure. I imagine it’s comparable to standing under Niagara Falls, mist included. Whatever wrong you find here, this fact alone should right it. Just be sure to pull that knob hard."
