We actually really liked this hotel! It was super clean, the room was a nice size, and it was quiet! Our only complaint was the breakfast, the restaurant part was kinda pricey and we didn’t get what we asked for when it came out.

The hotel was very nice overall. Was able to hear a decent amount of noise from neighboring rooms. Pool was not available when we were there and they did inform us before checking in, but not before arriving at the property.

Nice place near great restaurants and shopping and close enough to Columbus to stay but not have the congestion surrounding downtown traffic. I also met some friendly people at the hotel lobby bar while we watched the local sports.

This was supposed to be a handicap accessible room. Did not have a walk in shower. They only provided a seat for you to place in tub. Handicap bar located behind toilet tank? Toilet made noises all night. Sink in bathroom had little room for toiletries. No storage in bathroom. No safe in room. coffee pot only let you brew about a 6 ounce cup which made it very strong. Room purchased through Expedia so they would not give me points for a Hilton member which we were never made aware of. I have stayed at Hiltons before and they were very nice. This place was a disappointment and we were glad we were only there one night. Will look for a different hotel the next time I book. Bathroom in hotel lobby had 2 sinks that didn’t work and two toilets that were out of order. Didn’t even bother to go look at pool or use any other part of hotel.🙁
