Excellent

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was updated and clean—and also included a keurig, microwave, and mini refrigerator. Continental breakfast was good.
We actually really liked this hotel! It was super clean, the room was a nice size, and it was quiet! Our only complaint was the breakfast, the restaurant part was kinda pricey and we didn’t get what we asked for when it came out.

Ants were located in the room but the staff was pleasant
Nice place near great restaurants and shopping and close enough to Columbus to stay but not have the congestion surrounding downtown traffic. I also met some friendly people at the hotel lobby bar while we watched the local sports.
Very nice place to stay, very clean, very comfortable. Room was clean and updated. Pool was a welcome amenity even though the hot tub was still being worked on. Having a bar to relax after a long day was well worth it. You did have to pay for breakfast but it was hot and a decent value. i would defiantly stay here again. The location is perfect lots to do and lots of places to eat.
The hotel itself seemed nice, the lobby was clean and updated. However the rooms are very worn. The computers were down when we were checking in so not only did we have to wait an hour to check in we never got room keys! The front desk staff had to walk us to our room. Then only one elevator was working so it took longer to get to and from our floor. Getting off on our floor the smell was not the best, the carpet was stained and extremely worn out. Our room was missing the sheets and blanket for the pullout sofa. And there were stains on the sofa cushions.
The bathroom was ok, but the shower had cracks in the floor and the handle for the water was loose so it wouldn’t stay in place. Overall it was fine for one night, but we won’t be returning until major updates and cleaning is done.
old building, mold in most areas, mildewy smell, no hot water in our first room, ants in our bed, was told breakfast was free but it wasn’t. not a great place to stay. could’ve been much better, but could’ve been worse. staff was helpful.
Other guest were very loud and active all during the night. Also had an issue at check in which was embarrassing. Staff wasn’t very friendly or willing to help until after processing. Room was clean and very nice
Very good location. Did not replace towels or soap or shampoo. (did not find out about the soap until I was in the shower). For the price, these should have been replaced. Otherwise, the room was very clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Staff was very helpful and friendly, the furnishings in the room was woren. The room was smaller than other places I've stayed. Didn't like the fact that I had to pay additional money after I showed up to check in. Took them ten seconds to withdraw from my account but told me it'll be 3 to 5 days to get it back.
Very convenient location with several dining and shopping, very safe area. Room was very clean and spacious. Liz at front desk was very helpful. We would stay here again
