"Retreat"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
My husband is a patient at The James and has been very ill When he is in a room that I can't stay with him; the Holiday Inn on Olentangy always welcomes me at a discount rate and I am still close to him. They don't charge extra charges or act like they are doing me a favor. They have a wonderful breakfast and it's always a full breakfast. The hotel is always spotless and welcoming. It is a wonderful retreat and I am always treated very well. Thanks for your wonderful service.

The property and eating area seemed clean but the drain in the bathtub backed up to our ankles, pretty gross. I told the desk clerk about it on the way out.

My husband and I stayed one night. The hotel staff was very nice. The room was clean. The person at the front desk called shortly after we checked into our room to ask if the room was satisfactory. It was just really nice.
