Nice stay
The room was nice and clean.
The bar service was not great and the beer on tap was flat and not good. Luckily there were plenty of other places for good beer.

Needs updated
Hotel needs some updating. Beds were Ok but Toilets are the lowest toilets I have ever seen. Just taller than a water bottle high. Half the elevators were broke ao long wait times. Bathrooms in conference area were not kept clean. A wine glass stayed there for 2 days! Plus holds in funds take almost a week to drop off so don't use your bank card!

Not worth the money at all
Half of the outlets in our room didn’t work, the room (king size bed) was VERY tiny and the shower head didn’t work either. My brother and sister in law stayed too and their TV and phone didn’t work. Very poor quality for the price. I won’t be returning and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone. You’re better off saving money and staying at a motel than this place.

Great hotel
Very nice hotel. From the valet to the check in and check out it all went smoothly. Especially for a busy weekend with the marathon in town. Will stay at again for sure.

Convention stay
I'm not one to really ever complain or ever post a eh review but when we got to the hotel we weren't informed on booking that nor everyone was gonna get free breakfast with stay. You would think with paying 200+ for a hotel downtown Columbus you wouldn't have to pay for breakfast at all when there are plenty of other hotels that will allow it for nothing. Especially ones who have better customer service & management skills. Never was informed on booking that you had to do vallet parking. 45$ per night. Rooms we're pretty clean . Bathroom was eh. It was ok. Floor looked extremely dirty. Beds we're so uncomfortable and pillows sucked ! One of the worst hotel experiences I have had. Barely any communication. Room service lady was amazing though!! Front desk people we're nice. Vallet people ok. Management in dining is very eh! Paid when I got there and then tried charging / having us pay again. Should tell us when we check in that they will ask before you leave that will happen. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Room was very very tight. Fiji water in room is extra if you use. It is a good business model for them but good wait to guilt people who don't pay attention into extra money. Overpriced for what you get. You can get better quality hotel service and hotels elsewhere .

Just some honest feed back
My stay was amazing, however i was disappointed with the quality of the sofa bed and the fact the sink hot water non existence. The food at the wedding was good, but the consistency was off. (My steak was good, my fathers was underdone and my aunts was overdone). The wedding venue was nice and breakfast was good. Staff was wounderful. Check in and out was quick and easy. I was taken aback by the unexpected price of valet parking, but it was very convenient for checking in with kids and my handicapped mother. A job well done.

If you want to stay somewhere central where they have good service, clean rooms and a positive attitude, then you should definitely stay at the Renaissance, Columbus.
