Location for OSU was excellent. Room was quiet. Comfortable bed. The area in room had a very small table to work on. It isn't unworkable, but not great by any means. Front desk was disengaged at checkout. I asked for copy of bill. I was given the bill for another guest. Will have to see whether the charge ends up correct. There is a restaurant (Cap City Diner) that shares parking lot. It is excellent. Great food, relatively inexpensive.
