"The property appears a little older. The king size bed was comfortable. The toilet took a while to flush but I didn’t complain to the front desk since I wasn’t there long. Everything was clean overall. If you won’t be in the hotel long only to change clothes and sleep then it’s perfect."

Alternating layers of chewy brownie and rich peanut butter, covered with dark chocolate ganache! I usually stuff myself on savory pizza pies and have no room for dessert pies. On this trip, I boxed up some pizza for a cold pizza breakfast the next morning so I could further indulge in this delight!

Helens Asian Kitchen is a favorite of Columbus foodies for this dish in particular - stir fried spicy cauliflower. The dish has the right amount of heat to elevate cauliflower from a side to a main course. Adding more to the mystique of this establishment, their recent relocation has placed them inside the confines of a former strip club. #Trovember
