“Clean, super close to everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

This was a great stay, everything was like new. Room was very unique. Sliding doors to the bathroom etc. The lobby was very nice, wanted to hang out there for a while,however this is no reason not to stay there, but They do not have soft drinks at the bar, i sat down, requested an iced tea and was going to watch some TV with all the people around people (I hate sitting in my room all night) and the bar tender basically told me, "sorry we don't sell soft drinks at the bar, they sell them at the front desk", when I asked about just getting a iced tea or a soda, (which they have for mixers) he said they are only for their drinks. Dumb little thing, but its an oversight.
Other than that perfect spot to stay. Walk out the door to sub shops and gas stations. walking distance to fast food and very casual dining (Bob Evans etc) Found a neat restaurant up the road a mile or two called Piada Italian Street food, was a nice find and tasty
One thing, No one mentioned to me that large freight trains will go by the back of the Hotel until 11:00 at night (they may go later, but I never heard them after the late news. Now dont get me wrong, great hotel, good service, clean, but that made me very nervous. I waited till 11:00 after the thrid train went by, and then they seem to stop, but I was worried that they may keep up all night, So, ask for a room on the front of the hotel, if not ask for a reduced rate.

Room Tip: back of hotel faces train tracks, ask to be on the front side. When I was there, they did not keep...

Thanks very much for choosing our hotel and for your review geekytraveldude! It’s always great to receive a 5 star review and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’ve taken your comments to heart and will be offering a variety of non-alcoholic beverages at the bar. Regrettably, we have no control over the train. We’re glad you enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to restaurants and agree with you that Piada is a great spot! Hope to see you again the next time your travels bring you to Columbus.

Yours truly,

Our stay was very pleasant. The hotel is fairly new. The staff was very pleasant and friendly and tried very hard to be helpful. There are a great many wonderful restaurants in the area and very close to the OSU campus. Great Place to Stay!!

“A wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed on New Year's Eve. The hotel is new, the room was very clean, and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The hotel is located close to downtown, but offers free parking. They also have a shuttle (Call to check the schedule) anywhere within a 3 mile radius. The arena was within that radius, so we were able to arrange drop off and pick up downtown, avoiding cab fares - bonus! The personnel we dealt with were very friendly and helpful, including the hotel manager who we chatted with a couple times. He is very visible, and wanted to know how our stay was. He suggested that we request a room on the top floor if we come back as they are piloting a program to cover the sliding glass doors for light sensitive guests. (We hadn't had a problem with that, but apprecaite knowing that they are responding to issues.) We also were very impressed with the breakfast buffet. We will be back!

“Cute Rooms, Good Food Near-by”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

The rooms were spacious, clean, and well laid out. It was a great room for a relatively cheap price, however, the only thing that seemed a little off was the sheets. For the quality of the room, I expected the sheets to be softer. In fact, I've stayed at worse hotels with better sheets. It would not stop me from staying there again, but make note soft-sheet fans.

The room came with a complimentary breakfast, which was decent, but there was also Bob Evans, and a 24-hour Tim Horton's within the same block and plenty of great restaurants down the street. On the first floor is a gym, indoor pool and bar/lounge.

Overall, it was a great room for the price and conveniently located.

“Great place to stay”

We were coming back to Columbus to stay near the OSU campus and loved the newer Marriott hotel. Breakfast was fine. Had yogurt, made to order waffles, eggs, sausage, muffins, fruit, bagels, oatmeal, etc. The rooms were very nice. We had a 2 queen and pull out couch. Pool is small but served its purpose for the kids to get wet. Would definitely come back!
