The carpeting near the bed had a dark spot that was so sticky it made your foot sticky if you accident stepped on it. Also, out toilet did not flush unless you lifted the lid and jiggled the apparatus for the tank to refill. The bedside table also had sticky drink rings (that I cleaned up myself). The location was convenient. The pool was well kept and fun and the breakfast was great.

Poor experience! Under construction. No room service even asking for it, had to ask for towels every day! Breakfast was weak. Elevator needs reprogrammed, super slow. Probably one of the worst Marriott experiences that I have had.

Staff was accomodating even though we arrived past the 12 am check in time due to flight delays. Everything was clean. The only thing we didnt like were the tragic breakfast eggs. During our stay, noise was loud in the morning due to renovations to their front entrance. However, this does not change our favorable impression of this place. Would recommend if you are in Columbus and attending an event at OSU.

The staff was very friendly. We were given a handicap room ( we didnt ask for or need) the shower hose was broke and fell out, the bathroom floor was soaked, and we had to go to the desk for towels. Would I stay here again. Yes, room for improvement, and the friendly staff made up for the inconvienence

Great stay, reccomend.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, the hotel itself was clean from all I could see, the pool wasn’t great it was kinda like bath water, and just sitting on the outside edge of it with my feet in made my eyes burn I assume due to chemicals. The beds were very comfy, air conditioning worked great in my room. Nice sized TV, there are a couple food places within walking distance, and a Kroger just 3/4 minutes up the street. I didn’t explore too much around town as we were there for an appointment at WSU medical center. I definitely recommend this hotel, the breakfast was also great.
