5/5 Excellent

Great stay

"My husband and I were in Columbus for 2 nights, and we definitely picked a great hotel. It was located only 5 minutes from downtown Columbus, near tons of shops and restaurants, and was in a clean area of the city. The staff was friendly and super helpful. Free toiletries were provided when I said I forgot to pack mine. Breakfast is included. Free parking. Our room was so spacious! The toilet was in a separate room from the shower, it had a desk area that was closed off by a glass wall, and it had a large closet. Definitely 10/10 would stay here again."
