Not good!

Parking across the street. Lock your luggage if you leave it in your hotel room. Room didn't look as if it had been swept. Bed not comfortable.

Excellent Location for NHL game at Nationwide Arena

This hotel was only 1 1/2 blocks away from the NHL game at Nationwide Arena so we were able to easily walk there without the hassles of finding a place to park. There wasn`t a restaurant in this hotel, but there were almost every type of restaurant and bar/lounge possible within walking distance. Hotel was very clean, large rooms and the staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. We would definitely make this our 1st choice of accommodations if we are ever in Columbus again.

Great location for Downtown events

We had a great experience and a relaxing stay. The staff was extremely helpful the entire time. We had one small issue that the staff resolved immediately with extreme care and concern. You couldn't ask for a better location and value for any event in the downtown area. Thanks for everything!

Perfect for a short stay

Rooms were spacious and the design scheme and layout were modern and fresh. Cool sinks. Only wish there had been hand lotion with the other hygiene accessories. The pay-per-view did not work however.
