The room was clean and comfy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, but the dining room and lobby were crammed with people eating, so we had to take our food back to the room, but that’s not really the hotels fault. However, when we went to the pool, we left fairly quickly. Too many chemicals had been used in the pool and it looked foggy. Got in and couldn’t see me feet at the bottom of the pool. There were also a lot of chemicals in the hot tub and a foam on top of it, not just from the jets. There was also a band-aid on the edge of the hot tub. The pool is the only reason my stay isn’t 5 stars.

Staff was friendly… Elevator needs work door doesn’t shut properly and you have to wait 5-10 mins for it to open again. Only one elevator in hotel as well. Water damage on 3rd floor 5 tiles missing and floor carpet was wet and stunk. A/C in room and water pressure where excellent. Pool and Hot Tub area was excellent as well! Breakfast was typical continental style with lots of carb options and no fruit.

Was staying overnight in Columbus area for an early flight during a blizzard - my top priority was a hot tub and reasonably close to the airport. This property was simple, but very clean, very new, and the pool and hot tub area were massive. Would be great to stop with kids and tweens who need to unwind after a day of travel. This was a solo trip, but I’ll probably stay here before every super-early flight out of CMH.

Easy check in, but when we got in the room noticed stains on the carpet, desk chair and some on the sheets. I made sure to take pics and went to front desk to make them aware that i did not do the damages. They apologized and werent able to change my room due to the hotel being fully booked for the weekend but she assured me that housekeeping was still there and she would send them up right away. They were to my room within 10-15 minutes to change both bed linens and apologized for the inconvenience because the were short staffed. I completely understood and was even grateful the came to fast to take care of the linens. The continental breakfast was ok not alot of options...cheese omelets sausage pancakes cinnamon rolls and choices of juices and tea...the coffee machine was not working until someone came to fix it..they ran out of food so people were just standing around waiting. The breakfast staff were moving as fast as the could but just seems like the should be more prepared for a weekend crowd and not alot of seating space. Overall the 1 night stay was decent for the price and location.

The general condition of the hotel was average. The room was not too clean. There was a lot of stay hairs in the bathroom, on the floor-counter-and shower. There was stains on the sheets under the pillows and the floor had all kinds of random spots on it. The front desk never seemed to be there when we walked down to ask questions or ask for something. There wasn't towels at the pool any time we went down to the pool which was quite a few times. And the hot tub and pool were not very clean.

This was our second stay at the hotel. Although it is clean and well kept. The hotel is very noisy. There are were people running up and down the hallways and yelling and conversing loudly. There were doors banging and children screaming outside at a very late hour (horseplay screaming not distressed or tired). It was like that both times we’ve stayed the only reason we have stayed twice is because it is located very close to the hospital in which my son is at for an extended period.

If I’m ever in Columbus again, this is where I’ll stay. I requested an airport shuttle upon checking in for my mother, who had a late evening flight, the lady at the desk arranged everything. The young man that drove the shuttle, I wish I could remember his name, was very kind and patient with my mother who can be a bit challenging when she’s nervous. He was even kind enough to wait for my friend and I at the airport while we walked my mom in to made sure she got to the correct gate. The room was clean, the beds comfortable and the shower was amazing. Breakfast was wonderful, with plenty of options, and the attendant was very friendly. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

The room I booked at this hotel was apparently given away to someone else without notice. I was given conflicting accounts for this situation by the property and by Expedia. I found the explanation offered by the property less credible. Arriving at this hotel after a long 10 hour drive only to find that I didn't have a room despite my confirmation from Expedia was a rude surprise.

The rooms were clean better than any hotel we had stayed in during our stay (2 others). I will definitely be visiting again.
