Very nice hotel and stay

Really nice hotel. Renovations were going on and you are told upfront but it's not bad. The rooms is very nice and comfortable. The door going into the shower is interesting. It opens into the shower under the shower head so when you turn on the shower it is a shot of cold water. The guide for the tv is obnoxious. It's difficult to use. The pool is fantastic! It's a mini pool park with waterfalls, a lap pool and small lazy river. Very comfortable. The breakfast area is nice. There is also an outside courtyard when it is nice. The food is okay but there are quite a few options. We had bacon and it is very thin. Wasn't too filling. Coffee isn't bad but is watery.

Great spot for people with littles!

Clean room- although it could use some updating but just happy it was clean! Staff was amazing upon check in and out. Pool area was wonderful especially with littles! My only complaint was the pool had too much chemicals in it i think? It made our eyes burnt maybe we are just sensitive!! Overall a great stay and we will be back.

The property was ok the staff upon arrival was not very nice to me. I have tried to call and talk to the assistant manager Todd but they won't put me through to him and I did let them know how Unhappy I was staying there. The people upstairs were very loud and making a lot of noisy banging after 10 pm ant night both nights my grandchildren and I stayed there. The smokers outside were very loud after 10 pm on Friday. Saturday night they were not so loud

On the road going to Montana

Was passing through on a roadtrip to Montana and to see family in Columbus. Very nice hotel, room was more spacious than I saw in the photos. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choices. The only downside was the AC in the room didn’t cool down as much. Everything else was top notch.
