The staff I interacted with were fabulous, especially Marcos in the Buckeye Bourbon House. The breakfast was fine - It's your standard upgraded continental hotel breakfast buffet. The building itself is really cool. The preservation of the historical architectural features of the old bank are really beautiful. My big issues relate to the overall condition of the hotel, especially the elevator and room. One of the elevators appeared to be under construction and was in really rough shape. Unfortunately this is the elevator that came for me every ride but one - The other elevator was nice! My room itself was a little rundown. There were loose tiles in the kitchen by the floor. The door to my room did not close correctly - It had to be slammed very loudly. The TV did not have streaming services, something common to most Marriott properties.

Unfortunately, my friend and I stayed at the Residence while it was undergoing restorations, so our experience is probably a little skewed. One of the elevators was covered in tarp and tape, but they did put up a sign expressing the hotel's apologies for any inconveniences. Later that week, that elevator shut down I believe. We were locked out of our room for one of the four nights we stayed, but that was due to the new door mechanism's batteries running out. We were given a new room free of charge on the spot, so that was very considerate of them. The first room we were in however, did have quite the leak in the bathroom sink. Hopefully they fixed that. And there were no shuttles available, which stunk because it was cold, but we were staying only 15 min from the convention center, so we sucked it up and walked. The breakfasts were very delicious, and well prepared, and had quite the variety. The staff were all very kind and considerate, and the room was spacious and clean. The lobby of this hotel is also quite spectacular, if a little old, I think it used to be a bank, so it's got gorgeous high panelled ceilings, huge windows, and what looks to be the original revolving doors, among other things. I hope they repair what's broken and restore that gorgeous building.
