Just don't stay here. It is not worth the money in any way, shape or form. The advertised amenities do not exist (e.g., no robes without asking, no Sleep-Well Menu, no children's menu in the restaurant). I have never felt so ripped-off after paying over $300 for one night. That said, ALL staff is wonderful, and the restaurant is good. The lobby does NOT look like the photo; it is not meant for lounging/visiting, etc. There are two unimpressive sofas, and that's it. Shockingly, there is no microwave in the room. This place plays out the old adage that the more one pays for a hotel room, the less one receives in return.

This is the most overpriced, overrated hotel that I have ever patronized. The room was TINY, and it held one bed, not two, as I had booked! Also, the lobby is a major disappointment; it does NOT look like the photo. I selected this hotel for its old-time grandeur and inviting lobby. There are two sofas in the lobby, not loads of seating as shown. I stayed here in order to have local relatives visit in the lobby--not an option. There is no microwave, no Sleep-Well menu, no children's menu, no table for eating, no "plush robes"--all are promised in the abundant literature. The hotel has zero character. I could go on and on and on. JUST DON'T STAY HERE. That said, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is good. But the price is astronomical for no reason whatsoever.

The hotel is a beautiful old historic building with a pretty grand lobby. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The Italian restaurant and bar was good. Wait staff were very nice. My room was pretty small, but in an older historic building I can’t complain. The bed is very comfortable, the shower was nice.
The staff was very friendly and helpful when questions arose

The hotel lobby when you walk in is extremely nice and well kept. The bar/restaurant was good for drinks and the breakfast was good. Beyond that, there isn't anything special about the room we stayed in. It was clean, however very small and tight. The a/c unit in the room we had to mess with a little bit because it was extremely loud and shaky. For the cost of the room, I wouldn't stay here again.
The property was scruffy: damaged walls, lampshades, tabletops. Windows were very dirty. No exhaust fan in bathroom.
Dinner at restaurant was overpriced and mediocre. Breakfast was much better.
It’s a beautiful historic building that needs TLC.
There was a repair done on the floor , glued a plank in and didn’t clean the glue up so you stuck to the floors , pillow case had a black stain , shampoo and soap in shower was empty , had to call the front desk after 2 days get towels and soap no cleaning service …parking was 30 per day ( park your self) but was right by a bus stop that seemed no one was really waiting on the bus … I was traveling with my wife so thought I’d stay somewhere a bit nicer … lobby and building is beautiful but stopped there .. also didn’t think of it but there was no dresser in the rooms so just 4 hangers in the closet and you have to live out of your suitcase … the room smelled like sewer everytime you walked in … I’ve never left a review but thought I needed to, here .. will it stay here again , and I was excited when I made the reservations … so it’s not all negative , they did check us in early and the people seemed nice , I didn’t have a lot of interaction with them ..

Great old historic property, convenient location. The rooms need to be updated.
From the front staff to the room it was a great stay. We had trouble heating up the room staff came up quickly and reset the heater. Would stay here again in this cool historic building!
For us this was a flawless stay! From the curbside valet parking to the incredible front desk staff, all were eager to help and making the effort for things to go seamlessly. Our room was a very large executive king suite. It was spacious with a separate bedroom and bath area, and was exceptionally clean. We are well traveled, and this was a fantastic room! The property itself is stunning and steeped in history. We will be back again, the next time we’re in the area. Thank everyone for making this a great stay!
We got the tiniest room with a queen bed, did not get upgraded even though we have status and our friends who have no status got bigger and larger rooms. The AC barely works, the bathroom is so tiny you can brush your teeth while sitting on the toilet. Terrible coffee in the room. Just overall the rooms felt so dated, old, grungy. Really disappointed for a Westin property

Parking was expensive for a small city like Columbus.
the TV in the room is large and gets in the way. the bathroom door doesn't fully open because of it. also it gets louds in the hallways in the morning making it difficult to sleep in
