I stay in Columbus frequently between work and having a Buckeye. My husband and I decided to overnight in Columbus to celebrate my son's and my birthday, which fell on a Friday and Saturday this year. I used Priceline, knowing I wanted to stay downtown. My $58 bid was accepted for Residence Inn in downtown. I never knew about this hotel. It isn't where the majority of downtown hotels are, but being Columbus nothing downtown is far. What a great hotel! Our room was fantastic. Much more than we needed for only an overnight stay, but the wiggle room was appreciated. Its nice to have a choice about sitting on the bed or on a comfortable chair. The hotel itself is so unique. You can see all the bank remnants. Their breakfast bar is set up in the vault! And what a nice breakfast! It included pancakes, waffles, eggs and sausage in addition to the usual foods. I hope to stay there on the next visit. Oh, and street parking was easy to find. My husband did have to slip out at 8 a.m. to feed the meter on Saturday morning.

The hotel is beautiful...historic and unique. The staff was kind and accomodating and the rooms were nicely decorated. Our only complaint is in regard to the less-than-clean appearance of the room. The coffee maker, and fronts of appliances didn't look like they'd been washed/wiped down recently. Lots of dust on tables etc. and hair left in bathroom. If the room had been cleaner, we would have rated the hotel excellent.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to stay here again. Rooms are fantastic. Almost like staying in a small apartment. Will definitely stay here again if in the area. One of the best values for the money as far as hotels go that I've been to.

Upon entrance to our room the lighting and red decor immediately set a really nice mood - it is a renovated Residence Inn by Marriott. Everything seemed to be new and neat. We were a party of three with enough space to each call our temporary own - the room included a sleeper sofa. The made-to-order hot breakfast was great after a late night out in Columbus. In fact, we were able to cook our leftovers properly in the full kitchen! I would definitely stay in this Residence again.
