The desk attendants were kind, welcoming, and very helpful. We didn’t want to go back out and find a restaurant so ate in the attached eating establishment and couldn’t have found better food or better service (at least 4 people checked on us)! The room was clean and wonderful, with a full kitchen, sitting area, very comfortable bed, and large bathroom and shower. We came to Columbus for a concert at Natalie’s and this hotel was an easy drive to and from. The breakfast was impressive and the staff was gracious and friendly. Excellence all around.

The concierges were great! The parking area was clean; seemed fairly safe… pretty well lit. The rooms were dirty: rugs were disgusting - need to be shampooed; bathroom was gross - dirty floors, toilet paper in toilet when we got into the room. I’m glad I didn’t have a black light to check the comforter and sheets… we just hoped for the best. We ordered food to our room - tasteless, lukewarm, and overpriced for how poorly and thoughtlessly it was prepared. Very disappointed- would not recommend.

Dear carol, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay. I immediately became disheartened when reading your review. Please accept my deepest apologies regarding our less-than-stellar housekeeping and the lack of attention to detail. What you experienced is not typical. Rest assured, your comments have been conveyed to upper management and will be addressed. Again, thank you for your review, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a more pleasurable experience. Sincerely, Lisa Garner, GM

I booked for my daughter’s birthday. I arrived & the room wasn’t ready yet. We wait about an hour which was frustrating but they did offer us free room service for there delay. Once getting in the room, housekeeping rushed the process because the previous bookers food was left in fridge, there was no towels, no ice tray, remotes were gone, floor had water everywhere from shower & there was no soap at all. I’m never a picky person but due to my plans it put a big delay in everything.

Our stay in Columbus was absolutely Amazing 😍! We were close to the hospital which was our reason for our visit. After visiting family and having a very stress-free location to return to .Truly helped us to regroup our minds and destress our souls. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The lady at the front desk was Absolutely Wonderful, helpful and has a very pleasant personality ( which is important and comforting) This hotel has exceeded our expectations of comfort and quality 💖. I have never felt so at ease in a hotel room . ( especially since Covid) We will most definitely stay here again ,without hesitation!!! Thank you Residencial Marriott for your hospitality. It was Truly Appreciated. May you continue on this route of quality service & and an Amazing hotel . Keep up the Fabulous job!! May your staff be Wonderfully Blessed 💝.
