Wyndham Columbus
Difficulty getting to the right outside door to find my room, staff not knowledgeable sending me to doors that would not let in to rooms assigned. Caused a lot of discomfort having to go to the wrong doors!

Jungle House Luxury Stays - Downtown Columbus & Short North
I'm not happy with this stay. I had to wait about 20 minutes just to get the door code, which was frustrating because I was in hurry. Also, there were hidden property damage fees. Overall, not a good experience
