Priceline was unable to help adjust our stay.

Liked: Location.
Disliked: Priceline.

Everything was great from the time I checked in until I checked out. All of my needs were met. The room was clean to my satisfaction and the amenities were great. I would definitely utilize this hotel again when I am in Columbus.

Liked: Everything.
Disliked: Nothing.

We would stay at this hotel again when in Columbus.

Liked: Comfortable room; great staff; wonderful breakfast.
Disliked: None.

Stayed here for a visit to OSU for 2 nights. Overall, just an average property - guess I expected a little more. Basic room - was clean and everything in working order in the room. Disappointed there was not a fridge in the room - that would be a nice addition. Pool is very small, one of the smallest I have seen in a hotel of this type. Hot tub not working during my stay. Breakfast offerings are adequate, but I felt it was not as good as what I might find elsewhere. Might not stay here again if I find something else in the same price range.

Liked: Clean; good location.
Disliked: No fridge; hot tub not working.

Remarkable

Liked: Cleanest
Disliked: Room rates were increased I think because of OSU orientation. Paid $132 in February and $234 now!

A bit disappointed but we...

Liked: It was very clean and even though we stayed by the elevator, the noise was not bad.
Disliked: I bought King suite with a sofa bed and they just gave us a regular king size bed so there was nowhere for my daughter to sleep. The gentleman at the front desk basically told me that I would have to wait until the morning to resolve it so I went down and spoke with him directly and told him that that was unacceptable and that my daughter needed a place to sleep. So he switched our room to a double queen. I wasn’t thrilled, but it was better than her not having a bed. We stayed two nights and they did not clean our room nor bring us fresh towels for the second day.
