This is my 3rd time staying here! Each stay has been great for our concerts at nationwide arena right outside. Hotel is clean, updated, staff is helpful, & the bar/restaurant is wonderful! However, the last time we stayed recently, I booked the Deluxe king bed suite & was told at check in that I had to settle for 2 queen beds because they ran out of king beds. I have always raved about this hotel but that was a a bit disappointing. Overall, great place to stay if you are going to an event nearby.

The staff was excellent - very friendly. The lobby was great. The exercise room was nice. The location was good. However, the 7th floor hallway carpet needed to be replaced years ago. My individual room smelled like the maids had used a moldy rag to clean the bathroom before I checked in. The room had a foul smell the entire 4-day stay. The maid-service was bad: (1) failed to service my room despite requesting service from a maid on my floor and talking to the maid-service coordinator on the phone; and (2) the maids left trash bags and dirty linens in the hallway.

This hotel was great! The restaurant food was delicious! I really liked having to use your key card to get up the elevator, they make sure people thst dont stay there are not wondering the floors. It doesnt get dark till around 9pm and the room shades made sure the room was dark and made it easy for us to sleep. I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning on visiting ohio.
