We had no issues with the hotel itself during our stay. Unfortunately when we woke up in the morning over 10 cars had been broken into including ours. Multiple items stolen from multiple vehicles. The hotel and valet staff didn’t do much to help. They put trash bags over the windows and told us to file a police report. That’s it. No help from the hotel or compensation for the damages/lost items. To top it off. This is not the first time this has happened here.

Staff was great. The attendant in the morning was the nicest lady. Coffee pot in the room was dirty and pretty gross but they have coffee upstairs in the morning so it wasn't a big deal.

Starting with the good… Location, the staff, and the parking. Lumin (the bar) was particularly awesome. The bad…the room. It looks modern, but the wall paper was lifting at every seam, even coming off in some areas. The toilet seat was so loose, it made you feel like you would fall off, and the shower pressure was super light. I was quite surprised. It also had a stale smell… like maybe it was a smoking room at one point t in the past. We stayed in 319, so avoid that one if you are sensitive to scents.

Lovely room / charged for parking
Our room was quite lovely! Bed wasn’t bad, had a pretty good night’s sleep. Huge shower. Check in/Day staff was so friendly. Six or seven minute walk to Nationwide Arena so that was great, since we were watching a concert there. The $39 charge for ‘valet’ parking (which was someone parking your car into a spot right next to the valet stand) was a bit much. Why ya going to charge to have your guests park in the hotel parking lot? That part was a bit ridiculous, otherwise we had a nice stay.

We were in town for an event. The room was the Cleanest room experience in the past several years of staying at hotels around the country! The room was also Spacious, Quite, Warm, and very Comfortable. Staff was excellent, professional, friendlly and very responsive. Will stay hear again if the opportunity arises.
