TownePlace Suites by Marriott Columbus

Property is only about three months old, so should not have any negatives to report, except I do have a couple of nits. First of all, very nice, contemporary, clean, well equipped. We had a large suite which was like a nicely furnished apartment. Everything spanking and fresh. Nice exercise room with a few treadmills (didn't try them). Did try the pool and it was refreshing. So my nits... The bed was a bit too soft for my taste but I did sleep well enough. The breakfast area was spacious but the food offerings were budget hotel predictable and meh. No butter for toast, waffles or muffins??? Come with ear plugs if you are sensitive to fan noise. There was the bedroom A/C unit, the living room A/C unit, and the bathroom exhaust fan all running, none of which can be turned off. And typical conditioned dry air with no way to get fresh air. Finally, it seems that whoever designs hotel rooms intends to keep you in the dark. Lighting was dim. Only one side lamp for the couch. Only one bedside lamp. Both pretty dim. (Hey, we both like to read.) And the big circular light over the bathroom sink was very stylish, but not very helpful for shaving or doing makeup. But we have come to expect and adapt to hotel quirks and would recommend and stay here again. Final thought... hotel attached to casino. Combined parking lots are the strangest layout of little grassed islands and vague directions. You will make a wrong turn, guaranteed.

It was great, clean, friendly

Very clean and nice. Hot water could have been warmer

It was very nice, we were able to meet with family in the main lobby area to visit

The breakfast was great. The staff was very nice.

The only negative thing was that the water didn't get very hot, but they are working on it.
