Although the property was old, it was kept up and some parts undergoing renovation. Nevertheless, my room was large and excellent; and the downtown area around this hotel had plenty of shops and restaurants. The breakfast selections in the morning were also very good.

I booked a trip for my girlfriends birthday from March 14th-16th to Columbus, Ohio. We were looking forward to it very much, we had also bought tickets to the hockey game. We arrived Friday the 14th around 9:30 pm and the check in was flawless. We got up to our room (1303) and realized it was warm in the room was we adjusted the thermostat to make it cooler. After that we decided to go to the bar/restaurant down stairs (Buckeye Bourbon House) by the time we got back to our room it was even hotter than when we left. I immediately called down to the front desk and they informed me that the air condition was broken on floors 12, 13, and 14. I asked to be moved to another room but informed me they were all sold out. They also told me that the hotel was under construction and sorry for the incontinence. This is just unacceptable, the room was almost 80 °C at times and almost impossible to stay in but we had no other choice, not to mention we should have been informed of the construction going on before the trip. I believe there should be some compensation offered here and would like to know what will be done to help us out in this situation.

Business Trip- March

It was perfectly located downtown, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. They were helpful whenever I needed assistance, including the valet for parking. Some items in the room showed their age and were a bit rough around the edges. Nonetheless clean and would recommend staying again in the future.

This property was very nice for the price, walkable to the convention center, and the female front desk attendant couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating. The male front desk attendants that I interacted with were less than friendly, and did not make me feel welcome. Additionally, the hotel breakfast was severely lacking – aside from the general lack of options, they ran out of more and more as the days went on. Despite the waffle maker being one of the few breakfast items available, they were out of syrup for 4 days straight. Not the end of the world, sure, but a bit frustrating each morning! Overall the stay was nice and convenient, but could have been better.

My fiancé and I stayed for New Year’s Eve. They need updating. The wall paper is peeling, the bathroom had no heat and smelled of marijuana. The bed sheets had a small stain on them. On a good note, the Bourbon Bar was nice and the hotel also charged my Tesla. Overall I would give them a 7.5. Definitely not an 8.8 which is what the rating was on Hotels.com.

Good Location!!

Great hotel for its location, close to the palace theater(walking distance) Has a great bar area to relax and unwind in. Had a couple drinks and the soft pretzels. The staff was very friendly and helpful!! The room we had was very nice, a lot of room! Kitchen, sitting area and separate bedroom area. Large bathroom with tub and shower. The breakfast set up was a little crowded in bank vault and took a while for food to be replenished. However everything tasted great! The price for a night’s stay was a little expensive. But over all good experience!!
