No free wifi and free breakfast and free water.
This hotel is good to stay, but they don't provide free wifi, breakfast, and water. Columbus downtown is very hot in the summer, and no ice water for their customers. I don't want to stay in this hotel next time.

4 goods and a bad
Our stay was nice and we appreciated the early check-in. There were not enough longe chairs at the pool and the gate keeper said she would have more brought up and never did. So we had to sit in chairs and lay in the concrete. She wasn’t friendly about the situation and did not solve the problem. That was only negative of our trip. Good check-in, good room, good location, good bedding bad customer service at the pool.

I was very pleased with these aspects in particular: extremely comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, and the fact that my room was very quiet despite being near the elevator and ice machine.
