We stayed at this hotel 3 times between December 2025 and March 2026 for 3 different competitions and while it isn't anything special, it's a great budget option attached to the Columbus Convention Center. While there is no pool and no complimentary breakfast, it is clean, there is a reasonably priced restaurant with a la carte options open for breakfast in the lobby, and parking isn't any more than the other hotels. The rooms are fine, the ones in the "lofts" are huge and the regular rooms are typical. I will say, on our first stay, I paid extra to stay in a larger room in the "lofts" but upon check in, was informed I might want to stay in a queen room in the hotel side as i probably wouldn't like the lighting in the lofts. I asked if there was a price difference and was told there was not. I know i paid extra for the larger room but thought I might be getting a similar large queen room, I did not, I was given a basic queen room, the hotel basically just pocketed the difference. During a later stay, o had to switch rooms and was put in a loft (kind of makes up for it I guess?) and I will say, the lighting was fine, and the room was huge... actually seemed to have a lot of wasted space. Nevertheless, I will keep staying here because it is HUNDREDS less than the other hotels in the area during competition weekends and it is worth it to me to save the money. Again, it's clean, and it is also quiet. One thing to note about it being "connected" there is a covered walk way that will get you to the Convention Center. It is NOT heated. It does not take long to get there but it is a few minute walk and it can be VERY cold. Again, worth it to us by maybe not others. Another thing to note, if you valet, it is slow to get your car, give yourself ABC extra 10 minutes or so on busy weekends. It's a good hotel but a budget hotel.
