The room refrigerator was not working on initial occupancy of the room. I contacted the front desk who sent up maintenance; he was very helpful and came immediately to turn "on" the refrigerator. After one hour that did not work and I returned to front desk and said the refrigerator was still not cold and maintenance brought us a replacement refrigerator.

Clean property with spacious rooms. I reserved a king suite, but even for a suite, it was a large room. Very clean. Friendly staff. Breakfast was your typical offerings but still nice and well stocked. I took advantage of the Hilton app with this stay which allowed us to check in before arriving, being able to select which room we wanted and to use my phone as a room key. The location was just a quick drive to OSU campus and activities.
