"Great"

★★ The Red Lion ★★. OSU British Pubcade Castle

10/10 Excellent

"It has dragon wish you could make dragon glow to blind neighbors"

Newly Renovated(D) OSU/Central ❤Near EVERYTHING!

10/10 Excellent

"Host Jessie is super responsive to questions and is willing and able to offer suggestions on what to do and where to go in the area. For four people, the unit is perfect and the accessibility is outstanding. It's clean and comfortable and it provided a good place for us to rest and recharge after a weekend full of action on the OSU campus. We'll definitely be back again. (And if you're driving, it's got dedicated, off-street parking that's only accessible with a pass. That is a huge plus in this area.)"

Only 1 bathroom, but with modern shower and plenty of hot water. Dishwasher. No laundry washer and dryer.Host was very responsive to questions and a request."
