It's time again for the Ohio State Fair, which means it's time for a deep fried fair food feast!

A staple at the fair since 1965, Marshall Family French Waffles.

Basically a branding iron is dipped in batter and dropped in a deep fryer to create the crunchy, flaky, sweet treats.

Great place!

"Easy check in and check out, Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and comfy, not a large room, but still ample space for our things and comfort. Also very conveniently located as our destination was within walking distance only a block away as were several bars and restaurants!"

"I paid $90 per night, and I was a little nervous that I would be staying in a dive. Nothing could be further from the truth. The rooms in the Olentangy Motor Inn were renovated in 2023. While it is not an elegant hotel, it was an excellent place to stay. The rooms are comfortable. The shower was particularly impressive: adjustable water pressure that could be made high and plenty of hot water. The staff was excellent. I received two texts from management over my four night stay asking about my experience and whether I needed anything. They were very responsive and friendly. This motel is a short drive (about 6 minutes) from the heart of OSU. The only odd thing was that the office is not labeled as such. You check in at the coffee shop. The hotel desk clerks are also the baristas! I wandered around the building before I entered the coffee shop to ask for guidance. There is a train track that runs immediately behind the motel. My room was about five from the end and I could hear the train from my room. This did not bother me. Other than the engines, the trains were not very loud. I only noticed them during the day. There are several other hotels in the area and the tracks are close to those hotels too."

"I loved this hotel so much. We had the suite for the kitchen. It was spacious, yet intimate. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was large and beautiful. The whole place was clean, the staff friendly, and we always felt welcome. This will be my go to hotel from here on out."

Great stay-- 2 days

"This hotel staff are above and beyond. The room was super clean. The staff were very professional and nice. The pool was awesome. Breakfast was great and clean. The cleaner came by to ask if we needed fresh towels. I would def recommend this hotel. I read mixed reviews before I stayed here about the neighborhood or hard beds. The beds were fine and the neighborhood was close to where we had to be so, it was great. I didnt see any issue with location anyhow. "
