We would definitely stay here as a first choice again.
Pros:

Location was great. Access to river walk, close to downtown, quiet.

Clean.

Every employee we came across was exceptionally professional and friendly. They went out of their way to greet us throughout the day as we passed through the building.

other than the stomping above us, I loved the motel Maybe next time I will request a room on the top
Pros:

WE were in 102 and there was a lot of stomping during the night from upstairs above our room, It was the guests above our room. It didn't sound like they were doing anything on purpose but we could hear all their walking during the night.

Cons:

Maybe insulate better between floors

Nice weekend overall, just a little pricey for what it ended up being.
Pros:

Breakfast was decent. There was a good selection of cold and hot items.

Cons:

The room wasn't anything special, but the shower was nice and big. The room had a partial view of the river, but there was no couch or anything by the window to sit and observe.

I would definitely stay here again!
Pros:

The hotel was beautiful, clean, and charming. I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Columbus. I felt like the area was safe and quiet. The room had many modern amenities, and it felt like being in someone's home rather than a hotel. It was very comfortable.

Cons:

I wish the restaurant and bar had been open a little later. We went to the hockey game in town and wanted to grab a drink at the bar afterwards; however, it had already closed when we returned to the hotel.

Hotel is in an excellent location and has much to offer. Staff is great.
Pros:

Facility great. Staff great. Service not so good. There were no housekeeping services provided. The climate control was utterly terrible. These are two major deficiencies one would not expect from a hotel of this caliber and price paid for the room. Definitely would not stay there again unless I had assurance these issues were addresses.

Cons:

No housekeeping service
Bad room climate control
