The good thing is the Holiday Inn Express is near Ohio State stadium and the interstate. Bad things were that the in the 4th floor we stay is still has human hair around the toilet and bathtub. The bathtub was not fully cleaned and had pink stains in corners of it and the caulking around the bathtub inside and out was nasty brown and black. The outside of the hotel parking lot had not good lights for security and safety reasons. Our truck bed has a secured leather protecting the bed was cut open by knife that someone must try to look inside the bed of our truck.
