Hotels in Gahanna, OH

“Incredible! Such a nice staff. Very cool and helpful. This place has lots of room and everyone is super friendly. The patio is outstanding! Can't say enough good things about this lodge.”

“DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU OWN A KIA. My car along with someone else’s got stolen out of their parking lot overnight. Their cameras were not working and they did not notify me of this. They busted my window, tore apart my steering column and took off while somehow the hotel workers did not notice. I had things in my trunk and if they had told me about the cameras being down, I would not have left anything in my car and maybe not even stayed there. The staff did not help me other than notifying police. I was not accommodated in any way and all I got was an I’m sorry while I waited several hours to be picked up.”

“SERVICE & CHECKINRemarkable concierge!Norma was an MVP employee & made this my favorite Sonesta checkin experience of the year (bay area Sonestas are underperforming heavily on this).Parking is available on site & they accept Tap payment.Other staff members were equally friendly-- they actually greet & smile!Room for improvement: It was a lengthier process than most hotels + required manual paperwork to complete. Early checkin also comes with a fee.LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORSThe mini library near the elevators was a nice touch. Transitions need some work: guest floors had an odor, the carpet was stained, & all the sanitizing dispensers were empty. This building has seen some things; it's an adjustment for sure...ROOMyoutu.be/xC1uY7BNnRABrown, brown, and MORE browns~The color palette is uninspired & doesn't offset the heavily worn interior. Still, there a lot to appreciate.Strengths: lots of storage, open space, work desk, ergonomic seating, & adequate overhead lighting.There was a flight odor, but functional windows took care of that.The leather Recliner was also a treat.BEDIt did what it was supposed to. No lasting impressions & no complaints.BATHA medium-sized bathroom, with a surplus of towels! They're a bit thin & on the smaller side, but the quantity makes up for it.The combination shower had excellent water pressure & bath products were pre stocked. Ventilation was also strong.TV & ENTERTAINMENTDated on the entertainment center, featuring a ~40" mounted Panasonic SD TV. I recommend catching up on your reading with a book from the library downstairs.WI-FI & CELL RECEPTIONVerizon coverage is bare minimum even when standing by the window in comical positions;A struggle for remote work.--Performance--Video streaming - averageOnline gaming - averageVideo chatting - average --Nerd Stats--5-15 Mbps download 4-19 Mbps upload0% packet loss16 ms latency7 ms jitterFOOD & DRINKDoorDash friendly & very convenient with lots of variety. There's a mini market downstairs & a dinner within walking distance.The kitchenette is also well-equipped with ample cookware & appliances like a coffee pot & 2-burner stove. Despite the wear & tear, everything was functional.NOISEIt was an extremely quiet environment, nicely tucked away from through-traffic. There was awfully loud ceiling work/maintenance during my stay which was really unpleasant.LOCATIONLots of access within walking distance to shops, restaurants, & transit.VERDICTWhat they lack in luster, they make up for in sincerity. The building is overdue for modernization & from what I can tell they are actively working on it. It's a decent stay if you're optimizing for function.Looking forward to a renovation here.3.5/5”
