Wyndham Columbus

6/10 Okay

"The shower in the room didn't work. The hot tub is good but a little aggressive with the bubbles. Still enjoyed it. The pool was nice. We slept well but the walls are thin we could hear exactly what the people on the otherside of the wall where saying. We turned on sleep sounds and then slept well. The gentlemen who checked us is was 10/10."
