This hotel is in amazing condition. The check in was easy and Roxy was extremely pleasant and friendly. I would have gave 5 stars all the way around but my only complaint is that the pool was freezing. We picked this hotel with the intent of enjoying the heated salt water pool but unfortunately it wasn’t heated. Other than that everything was great.

The staff we interacted with was fabulous. Someone from the hotel tried to change our reservation from the room we booked to another room that would not accommodate our family but the person who checked us in corrected that and was super helpful in making sure our stay was comfortable. The work out room was phenomenal! Great equipment! Breakfast was also good and the room was spacious. The pool was nice but the chemicals were strong for a salt water pool. We had a green swimsuit that was bleached and turned yellow and another swimsuit faded colors. But overall it was a great stay, and we would consider coming back.

We got there & they did not have our room clean at all! Trash in the trash cans, used towels on the floor, bedding was slept in, cups on the counter. They moved us to another room. That room the bathroom would not lock. We had 5 people staying there. They felt uncomfortable to use the bathroom given it wouldn’t lock! Wouldn’t stay there again!

We needed a place close to downtown. The building itself, the bar, breakfast area and downstairs were welcoming and clean. Staff was friendly. Room was okay…bathroom door was off track but was fixed by staff within an hour of reporting it. The maids need to work on details…the bathroom door handle was disgusting and had something red dried on it. The floors needs more attention by a vacuum as well as the debris all over the couch. Otherwise, it was okay. Beds were cozy. Thin walls made it difficult for a light sleeper. But it was safe, easy parking, and close to where we needed to be. Would stay again.

The facilities were very nice. Rooms had shades, not curtains, so easy to manage, modern bathroom, lounge area had more than just tables and chairs, well priced. Breakfast was ok, comparable to other hotels. The only negative is that there is no sound insulation in the walls so people talking in the next room (at a normal level) kept us awake until they went to sleep.

I the room was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean, I didn't partake in the available breakfast, but it did look nice. Front desk staff was a little dismissive and disengaged, but not necessarily unfriendly, you could just tell by their faces and attitudes that they didn't want to be there.

No idea how the mattress could be that bad in a hotel that knew. There was also a terrible squeaking sound coming from the air conditioning unit every time the fan. Everything else was wonderful. Staff was great, everything was clean and pleasant.

Check in staff were very nice. The lobby was decorated for the OSU 2024 graduates, which was really nice and shows their Buckeye spirit. The room was very nice with kitchen that had a large island you could sit at, an induction stove, microwave, fridge with dishes, pots and pans, utensils. The living room area was comfortable with a clean and newer sectional couch with pillows, which was also a sofa bed. Big TV on swivel for the living area or the bedroom. King size bed was comfortable. Bathroom and shower were clean with plenty of towels. There was a good size closet with safe, luggage stand, extra pillow and blanket. Next to the room door, there was another mirror with coat hooks. My view was of the bridge and the Olentangy River. It was quiet and comfortable. Whether you’re in Columbus for Buckeye event, game or graduation, this is a convenient location and very comfortable. I believe there is a pool and a gym. I didn’t have time to check those out. You are right across from the Olentangy River Trail and about a mile walk to the Ohio Stadium. My only minor issue was the housekeeper didn’t give me more regular coffee when she cleaned the room for the next morning, but I am sure I could have gotten some from the front desk.

The hotel room and amenities were incredibly clean. The service was TERRIBLE. We tried to check in at 5 and were told our room wasn’t ready (check in started at 3) and the concierge couldn’t tell us when it would be ready. With two young kids, we felt really frustrated that there was no timing given to us so we could plan our night. The concierge and another employee were talking poorly about someone else who worked there, loudly, in front of us saying how behind and careless they were. It was uncomfortable and made us feel like the hotel was severely under staffed. Once our room was ready, we went up and got comfortable. I called down for an extra pillow and it never came. I had to go down 3 hours later to get a pillow. When I got there, the concierge (someone different) started running around the lobby looking for housekeeping. Once they found who they were looking for, they yelled for me to come down the hallway and wait outside a closed door. A few min later, someone else handed me a pillow while they were putting a case on it. It was just so weird and haphazard and uncomfortable. Later I was sitting in the lobby reading and the bar (with no bartender) was being staffed by the concierge who said she had to google how to make drinks. Overall, it felt like the hotel was barely staffed and couldn’t take care of their guests.

We got to the property and our room reservation had been changed from a 2 queen bed room to 1 king bed and a pull out sofa without notice. There were 3 adults and 1 child. Person had at the front desk didn’t know why it was changed and had to work for several minutes to find something else that barely accommodated us because the hotel was so full. We booked for two nights and only stayed one and checked out first thing the next morning.

Expected more from this hotel chain. Customer service at reception upon arrival was quite poor with rude undertones. Blinds in the room did not work, and quite frankly all blinds looked quite ran down. Reception vouched to call back and never did. We spent an evening and next morning of our stay in a dark room without natural sunlight.

Waited 20 minutes before check-in even acknowledged me. They were chit chatting in the side office. Never ever came out to check. There was a gentleman in line before is and said he'd been waiting ocer 25 minutes and no one ever came out to help him either. Finally my boyfriend stepped into the office to tell them we needed assistance. We liked the location it was close to the concert venue. Room were nice only issue was the carpets in and outside the rooms were filthy. Overall experience not worth the money. Overpriced in my opinion

She walked over to the address it was delivered to with me and walked back with me. I was so thankful for her kindness! The hotel was very clean, quiet, and convenient for our one night stay for a concert.

I loved the aesthetic and cleanliness. It was a positive having a usable lobby with a bar and TVs. The fitness center was clean and overlooked a scenic bike path and nature trail. Unfortunately, the free breakfast, although a nice perk, was disappointing: good coffee but stale bread and fruit, and hot offerings were lukewarm at best. It was marathon Sunday the weekend I was there and we were told we wouldn’t be able to exit the lot between 7am and 2pm. When asked where we can park to be able to exit, no clear answer was given. We wound up leaving our car miles away and Ubering only to find out we could have exited the driveway. Added unnecessary stress to an otherwise pleasant stay.
