The heat did not work! We had the room set at 80° and still slept with hoodies socks and all the blankets! Also, the elevator barely worked and traveling up and down the stairs with large luggage was not ideal.

The rooms could have been cleaner. The walls, the carpet, the corners in the bathroom were all needing to be wiped down. The staff is pleasant. It’s a nice area- not to hectic or unpleasant

My family and I booked two nights at this hotel, from December 14, 2024, to December 15, 2024. Unfortunately, we could only stay for one night because we discovered bedbugs in our room. Upon making this discovery, we immediately informed an attendant. Initially, he denied the possibility of bedbugs, stating, “We had people clean the property days ago.” However, he assured us he would come to inspect the room and determine the next steps. We waited for over an hour, but no one came to check the room. Despite multiple calls and returning to the front desk, no staff were available to address our concerns. Frustrated and unable to resolve the issue, my wife and I decided to book another hotel for our remaining night in Columbus. As we were leaving, we encountered the same gentleman we had spoken to earlier at the front desk. I informed him we were leaving due to the lack of action to address the issue. He apologized and assured me I would be reimbursed for one night. However, after contacting Expedia, I was informed that the hotel refused to issue a refund, citing the non-refundable nature of the booking. While I respect the policy, I am deeply disappointed with the experience. The facility was not adequately maintained, and the staff failed to take appropriate measures to address our concerns or provide a resolution. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend staying at this property.

Stay was average, not great for the price. probably would not book here again. The room itself was located right next to the hotel elevator and it was dinging open and closed all through the night. The door had a large gap also. The shower was dirty with mold and the breakfast was cold and half cooked. The parking on property was limited. They also charge you an extra $100 for “incidentals” which is yet to be refunded to my card and not posted anywhere in the booking information.
