"The stay fell far below expectations, with cleanliness issues, inconvenient layout, limited services"

4.0

The showers were nice.

While the stay had some positives, there were several areas that could be improved. The room showed signs of needing more thorough cleaning, such as dusty fans, and the AC/heater was difficult to adjust due to non-functioning controls. Our room was quite far from amenities like the elevator, parking, breakfast area, and dog walk, which made things less convenient, especially since elevator access required a key and our hands were often full. Breakfast was disappointing. Given that it was the day after Christmas, staffing may have been limited, but the selection and upkeep seemed overlooked, including mislabeled items in the pastry area, cold grits, and cold meat. We were also given directions to nearby dining options that turned out to be inaccurate, which resulted in a long and frustrating search for an open restaurant, especially since the hotel’s restaurant was closed for the holiday. Overall, charging full price during a period when services and staffing were limited did not feel like good value.

"I would love to stay here again!"

10.0

I enjoyed the breakfast, my favorite part was the waterfront view, and the short scenic walk from Downtown Columbus where all the food and bars are.

The bathroom door did not stay closed. The mirror is directly in front of the door so one person could not be in the bathroom privately and the other person using the mirror because the door kept rolling open.

We loved the restoration of the Old Mill with its charming details still intact. But also with the modern-day luxuries that made it a relaxing stay. The view of the river just added to the peace and joy we already were experiencing.
