Relaxed Stay

My boyfriend and I stayed one night in a King Executive room. Beautiful view, gorgeous bathroom, and very comfortable bed. I was excited to find the little complimentary "relaxation" kit and bathrobes. The little touches made me feel like my stay was longer. Staff was very polite and accommodating. Short stay in a great hotel.

Nice Place

Room was spacious and very nice. Did not like extra charge for internet. Service at the Restaurant (Max& Erma's) was slow.

Great location and price

We went to the convention center and just took the walk way over that is connected right to the hotel. We were also within about 5 minutes walking distance to Nationwide Arena. I would definitly stay here again!

Forgettable, decent, over priced

Unremarkable, lots of extra charges, and not an overly clean experience. For this price you could stay elsewhere downtown.

Wonderful hotel

We were pleasantly surprised how great our weekend was at the Crowne Plaza Downtown. The hotel staff was very helpful, our room was clean and quiet (comfy bed), and location was perfect as it was close to freeway access to anywhere. Noted that this was not a home game for OSU so don't know if that would make any difference in noise level. Many good restaurants nearby in popular area on High St. We enjoyed drinks in nicely furnished bar area of lobby. We'd come back.

Higher class hotel?

We visit the Short North Market Place which was excellent. It was walking distance from the hotel. About 3 miles was the historic german village, which was interesting.
