We had a great stay overall but our room 714 has a horrible musty mildewy smell. I did not say anything until we left. I knew they were booked full because of the event.. so I explained when we left that they need not to rent that room until issue is fixed. I have breathing issues and am feeling the affect of the damp musty room.. our belongings also smell.. Horrible and unhealthy!!

The room decor with its Ohio State University theme is fun, but, typical of small, urban hotels, the room was small, with little room to open our suitcases. The staff was pleasant and helpful. If we stay here again, I must consider upgrading to a larger room or suite. The location in the Short North is convenient and the room was quiet, despite all the activity on the street.

Satisfactory

There was some sweeping under the beds that needed done byt other than that the room was clean and maid service was on top of things. When we needed ice we got ice. They told us about a party in the terrace that was going on that saturday if our stay. Everyone was super friendly.

The area was ok but lots of homeless around and definitely on something. The best thing about this hotel is there are lots of great restaurants close by. The rooms were clean for the most part but the hallways smelled and carpets needed cleaned. The rooms are very small but I think most downtown hotels are small. The staff wasn’t as nice as most… kind of a chip on their shoulders. If I came back to Columbus I’d try a different hotel.

We absolutely love this hotel and will be using it for future trips to the area. It was in a great spot to get to all of the shops and restaurants and it was a short walk to bars and restaurants and very convenient to the venue for our concert. The bar in the lobby is great too. They make potato chips that are to die for!
