The Junto
Not your typical hotel lobby. It's a hangout, for guests and for the community. The rooftop bar gives a speakeasy vibe, but where everyone is welcome. And the room - probably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept on. Delightfully cool and relaxing.

Wyndham Columbus
Great A+ staff — everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. The lobby and rooms were clean and spacious, and the location is convenient if you have a car. Some areas, especially the hallway to my room, felt a bit dated, but overall it was a great value for my stay.
