For starters, there was a facility fee that was not disclosed in the Expedia listing. (We were told we could recoup some of it if we went to the bar or spent money on sundries.) Although it’s downtown Columbus, we had difficulty finding an open restaurant for dinner within walking distance (not wanting to retrieve our car from the overpriced valet service). The biggest problem was the room and lack of response on it. The curtain was in shreds, as though an animal had tried to escape. There was dog food on the floor that had never been cleaned up. The TV didn’t work, and when I went to call the front desk, neither did the phone. I called from my cell, and the front desk attendant asked me to text him photos of the shredded curtain - which I did, but never got a response - and he promised to send up an engineer to fix the TV., who never showed. We waited up for over an hour someone to show up or call me, before giving up and going to bed - wondering for an hour or two if we’d suddenly be getting a knock on the door in the middle of the night. We’ll be staying in Columbus a lot over the next few years - we were dropping our freshman off at OSU - but we won’t be staying here again.

Everything about the property was very nice. My only discrepancy is that they mandatory added on extra monies for condiments I did not necessarily needed or wanted. So there was no real savings Booking through the website.

Perfect location! Was in town with my two teenaged daughters for the Weezer concert at Nationwide Arena. The location was so convenient and as a woman traveling alone with my daughters, I felt very safe. Valet parking made everything a breeze. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the staff did not explain how to charge items to the room at the 24 hr marketplace which led to some late night frustration but a fairly minor issue overall. Would definitely stay here again if in the area for a show.

The hotel was nice…ish. They do not validate parking which was probably my biggest issue. The weekend rates are much higher, so if you’re budgeting then you’ve got to prepare for an additional $40 if you want to be reasonably close if you drive to the location. There is also a “resort fee” that they charge when the only resort feature they offer is an in-house restaurant. There is also the “destination fee” - so the price Expedia shows isn’t accurate. Ultimately it seems like a great price compared to the other hotels downtown but with all the extra things we spent more staying here than the nicer hotels in the area. There were also no exhaust fans in the bathroom in our hotel room. Not a big deal unless you take a hot shower or you’re not traveling alone and someone has to relieve themselves. The pillows were nice. Bed was lumpy. The check-in staff was great but the check out person was a bit off-putting. We travel to Columbus often but will not stay again.

Enjoyed my stay. Was in a more quiet part of hotel. Only thing is i am not sure how many times housekeeping came by. I had to set trash outside of door to get ot to go away. Did not know i was going to have to do that. Minor gripe. Overall, would stay again.

The did nt give me the room I booked then sent me across the way to an old building that theyve sort of remodeled into part of the hotel. The old building really isn't that nice. The main hotel was reslly nice, but it felt like a bait and switch thing how they didnt have my room and put me in a old, run down building across a driveway.
