Guest Reviews & Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was smaller than expected for the price, and the bathroom layout was not very user-friendly. However, the room was impeccably clean despite a lingering smell of cigarettes. The service from the valet, bell staff, front desk, and the lovely lady who served coffee in the morning was exceptional. The location in the Short North area was fantastic, offering easy access to various attractions and dining options. The dining experience at The Guild was exceptional, especially for a high-end brunch. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with great service in a convenient location, though there were some room size and bathroom layout issues to consider.
