    handy shuttle service
    rough towels

    Had a great experience overall! The breakfast was consistently tasty, and the handy shuttle service to local events was a fantastic bonus! However, the towels could have been softer.

    Request housekeeping early during peak times for timely service, as they may come much later than expected.

    Scenic view of Olentangy River, Spacious rooms, Efficient shuttle service to OSU

    The noise from slamming doors and hallways made it hard to sleep!!! The lack of consistent housekeeping left much to be desired!!! Additionally, management responsiveness could really use some improvement!!!

    indoor pool
    vegan breakfast
    spacious workout room
    missing microwave

    The stay was really nice. we loved the amenities like the indoor pool and the complimentary breakfast options, especially for vegans like us. The workout room was spacious, and after a long day, relaxing in the pool was just perfect! One little hiccup was not having a microwave in the room, but it didn’t ruin our experience at all. 😊

    modern decor
    wide hallways
    clean spaces
    flimsy towels
    limited housekeeping

    The decor is modern and inviting, easily accessible with wide hallways that make movement a breeze for seniors. I loved the clean, bright spaces that felt fresh and welcoming throughout my stay.

    Perhaps softer towels would enhance the overall experience.

    friendly staff
    varied breakfast
    convenient location
    towel softness

    We had a great stay with our baby! The hotel was conveniently located, making it easy for us to explore the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Robert and Tyler, who went out of their way to help us. The breakfast options changed daily and were always delicious.

    In my wife’s opinion, softer towels would enhance the overall experience.

    My recent stay was fantastic! I had previously stayed in other hotels in columbus, but this visit exceeded my expectations. The check-in was smooth, the staff were super helpful, and the room was spotless and well-equipped.

    unfriendly attendant
    delayed service

    The hotel was really clean and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed breakfast each morning and missed out on golfing nearby, but it looked awesome. The pool area was nice and spacious. I'd recommend this place for a fun getaway with friends!

    I did experience a delay with breakfast service. the attendant seemed unfriendly and didn’t replenish items promptly.
