I take a black light with me to every hotel I stay in. When I tell you this room was spotless! Beautifully set up and exactly how the pictures showed. The staff was absolutely amazing. Pool was heated a little cloudy but still a pleasure. Our shower had run out of soap and shampoo. They were there in no time to refill everything. The staff was amazing and the breakfast was delicious. I am very happy with my stay. Truthfully I don’t know that I will ever book with anyone else other than Marriott Bonvoy.

The property is great. But. for the price per night, I have to ask why certain "little items" are no longer provided. Littke things like body lotion, shower caps, bar soap for those who cannot use the nody cleansing gel. The auto ice maker didn't work, so trips to the ice macine were in order. The room was not refreshed, had to ask for clean towels. The care of the customer does not measure up to the time before Covid.

Great location, felt like we were 20 minutes away from everything we wanted to do in Columbus. Parking is a challenge, the lot is shared and there aren't enough entrances to the Residence Inn areas.
