Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

We arrived during snow and at night. The entrance was easy to find and clean. There was valet if we wanted. It is an urban hotel so parking is for you to decide. There is free parking, street parking, paid parking lot etc. we did the paid parking lot and it was fine. The hotel is an old bank which made it pretty cool downstairs in the morning for the kiddos to wander around and see details and old pictures of. The room was great. The kitchenette was more than we could have needed and had everything. The room was clean except the bathroom had some areas of concern. I cleaned it myself because I have kids and they touch everything. The tv was stocked full of options, the market was convenient, the restaurant options looked good (didn’t order), and the bar downstairs was a nice touch. The breakfast was hot and they had good options - eggs, meats, fresh oatmeal, breads and then all the packaged items too. It’s not just a prepackaged breakfast which we were thankful for. The breakfast area was inside the vault and my kids loved that. Would use again if we are back at the Expo center for anything else in the city.

Room was not very clean, kids stickers, wedding ring, full toilet filled with ice. Appeared to be a very quick room prep.
