Stayed 1 night. Convenient/walking distance to arena for concert. Used valet parking (was a little pricey) but was just 1 night. Hotel nice and welcoming. All staff we encountered were very friendly. Room clean, beds comfortable. Hotel restaurant had good food and drinks. Would stay there again.

Would put this down as average overall. Great spot for visiting the greater Columbus convention centre. Front desk staff weren’t too friendly or helpful but restaurant staff were fantastic. Room wasn’t as clean as we’d have liked and all noise from the corridors travelled into the room. Little convenience area down near the front desk came in handy.

We did not like how we did not know there was no where to park unless you parked far on the street. They offered valet for an additional $42.00. We also had no idea there was an additional resort fee that we had to pay upon arrival which was $25.00. Our stay turned into $340.00 for one night.

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere. Close to shopping, food, and entertainment! Very safe building, key card needed for entrance to building and elevator. Easy check in and out. Valet parking is convenient and quick and comparable to public parking.

Service was terrible at pretty much every aspect. The room was fine and served its purpose and the area was easily walkable. There was one guy at the front desk with long dark hair who was super nice, but other than that, it was terrible, especially for how much I paid. Would not stay here again.
