FOr the total I paid of $130 or so, I think the value was not what I expected.
Pros:

Coffee available, good location, comfortable beds & basic bathroom items available.

Cons:

Faulty AV, no breakfast options, only coffee. Small fridge that had trouble chilling food well. The $19 fee for parking in the hotel lot was over-priced and not easily seen on the booking.com website.

The worst hotel to stay at in Columbus, Ohio
Pros:

The only person who tried to help me was the receptionist in the morning named Dora; everyone else is incompetent.

Cons:

The price is high, they don't provide breakfast, they claim it's smoke-free and/or cigarette-free, which is false; the hotel and the receptionist who greeted me reeked of cigarettes.
I asked to change rooms, but they said there were no more available. I had to sleep in that disgusting room, and since then my allergies have been at their worst. I left early because I couldn't sleep. I requested a refund for the four nights I paid for, and they still haven't returned it. I'm even waiting to go to the bank because there are three charges for the hotel; one has already been paid, and the other two are in process. They owe me a total of $1,648.20. I called the hotel and they said they only charged $824.08 and that they would refund it, but my bank statement shows the charges but not the refunds.

Low budget hotel room with a high budget price tag for close proximity to concert venue.
Pros:

Location was great. Room was clean. Paid for the premium room so the beds were comfortable but not luxurious.

Cons:

Elevator was broken. Shower drain was very slow and clogged.

Pros:

It was clean.

Cons:

What came with and for the room did not match the price. I did not appreciate the fact that I was charged for parking separate from the price of the room.\n And I have not yet received my deposit back and was supposed to receive it yesterday on the 17th and will be calling about that directly after I finished the survey.
