The hotel was very clean and the staff was helpful. One TV did not work and had to be repaired. The windows had peeling paint. Breakfast was good and the buffet was well stocked. Great location but there is a lot of construction going on.
The hotel was a fairly short walk from the convention center. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was decent. Making my own waffles was fun and delicious. I wish they would've had whipping cream and berries to put on the waffles. The room had a nice view. My only complaint about our room was we were on a non smoking floor and we had noisy smokers staying above us so we could hear and smell them. I ran the kitchen exhaust fan and that helped cover up their noise and dispensed the smoke. The bathroom didn't have a fan so it was a little smelly sometimes. The atmosphere and ambience was the 1920's-like since the hotel was a bank in the 20's so much of the historical architecture is preserved on the first couple of floors. There was no complimentary water. The fitness room hsd sealed up their water dispenser, so you would buy their $6 small bottle of water from their mini market. The only free water is at breakfast.If you have an event or business in downtown Columbus, this hotel was a decent stay with a helpful staff.
Beautiful hotel. Big, spacious room, comfortable bed! Breakfast looked promising in the old bank vault, However when we went at 9 (7-10 hour to eat) there was no hot food to select. Understaffed for a busy weekend stay. Cutlery was limited, when it did come out, wasn’t washed properly. Hopefully an isolated incident because it had potential to be amazing! I’d come back to try again.
Room and breakfast were great. The hotel bar needs more staffing as the bartenders always have a line of people waiting for drinks because they have to bartend, and run food to the tables.
The room was so comfortable and clean. Staff at check-in and check-out was kind. Breakfast was fine - better Saturday than Sunday, but it wasn't bad.
Our room didn't have hot water, which we brought to the front desk's attention on Saturday morning, but nothing was done about the issue.
I enjoyed the staff they were friendly, free breakfast was better than I expected, room was clean, a few cool spots nearby, no issues and good value… I’d come back for sure.
The hotel was undergoing renovations but the impact was minor. The rooms were excellent. The beds comfortable and the suite had a full size fridge, dishwasher, hot plate and full sink. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast buffet was Amazing. We will definitely be back again
