I'm to old for this!
An unexpected trip to The OSU Hospital to visit my son was the reason for my visit. I was looking for a place to stay near the campus and hospital. I made the reservation the night I flew and I was looking for an inexpensive place to sleep for the undetermined amount of time I would be there.
The Varsity Inn is a motel. It has a drive up window to register and get your key from, which I saw as very odd. The room was OK. The carpet was new, but the bathroom was showing major signs of wear-n-tear, but again, I wasn't looking for a vacation spot, just a bed.
As I snuggled in after a long and emotional day, I was startled by the 10 minute passing of a cargo train running only a couple of yards away from my bed. It was the longest train ever. A total of three trains passed through during the night. The second night, I was expecting the train, but wasn't aware that the other rooms now were occupied by stone drunk college kids. Yelling stomping and laughing for several hours. I woke up to see a sea of red solo cups!
I am too old for that much activity. I have learned that cleanliness is just not enough and that a good deal can turn out to be so bad.
If you’re a stone drunk college kid, it’s just up your alley. If you are a parent visiting The Ohio State University, do not be tempted by the price and close proximity to the school.
