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.

I really like the hotel, the amenities and walkability of the area around the property. The staff who checked us in were incredible, the room was nice and cozy, overall enjoyed our stay. Only grief I have, at 4:00 AM the hotel phone rang and woke my husband and I up. Then the phone rang again. My hsuband answered it half asleep and confused. The staff was calling to check in saying there were complaints from our neighbors of yelling and screaming. My husband asked "from this rooms?" So confused. They confirmed and ge stated we had fallen asleep with the tv on, but that couldn't be us. I have actually never had that experience before of the hotel staff waking us up in any visit I have ever had to a hotel and really didnt appreciate it.

This is a very nice hotel in a very convenient location to do anything downtown. I liked the comfort of the room, the fitness facility, and the restaurant and bar. My only complaint would be the low water pressure in the shower and the fact that there's no microwave in the room. Would definitely stay here again, though.

We arrived at the hotel at 11:00PM(I had called earlier that day to let them know if our late arrival) there were no rooms ready and the lobby was full of guests waiting for rooms. The front desk staff went above and beyond trying to accommodate guests. They had to go check for clean rooms to check guests in, but they handled it like pros! Guests rooms are old and worn.
