Check in was quick and easy, nice place to stay in a great location. Was going to an event at Nationwide Arena and it is just a short walk up the street, like two blocks.

Liked: Staff & service

Disliked: Cleanliness

We were in town for a college graduation. Booked a loft but found it dingy and dirty and changed to a regular room. The room was clean but areas by elevators and hallways always needed vacuuming. No daily service but you are able to change out towels and get whatever you need. Ate lunch downstairs and it was good. It looked like it was in a good area to explore Columbus, but it was a rainy weekend. Beds were good, pillows ok, staff very friendly and accommodating.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
