The staff was AMAZING. I didnt catch her name, but the girl with the blonde & brown hair and green (i think) eyes was so helpful and they were able to upgrade our room because it is our anniversary/Sonic Temple trip. We were blown away with her and everyone else's kindness. Made this trip SO memorable. Coming all the way from Salt Lake City to a brand new place is tricky because we had no idea what to expect but we got so lucky with these guys 💛💛💛💛💛

The whole area was just amazing. The hotel was welcoming, clean, and the staff was very nice and helpful. Valet was also on their game. My husband and I came for the Zara Larsson concert and Kemba Live was only an 11 min walk from the hotel. A liquor store and dispensary were with in 2 min walk from the hotel as well. Great area I definitely recommend staying.

Beautiful and modern luxury in the heart of downtown Columbus. The rooms are updated with rainfall showers, square fixtures and an amazingly comfortable bed. Walking distance to the arena and other downtown locations. The breakfast bar was very upscale (prosciutto, turkey sausage, oat milk, etc) but also down to earth (cereal, toast, juice). We weren't able to eat at the hotel restaurant but there were so many choices within walking distance. Overall, a great place to stay.
