Horrible, horrible experience. I visited Ohio for a quick, fun getaway with friends, but it quickly turned into a nightmare. The hotel was centrally located, fairly new, and had good reviews--so we thought we were in good hands. Check-in went smoothly, but things went downhill fast. While in the bathroom, I noticed a couple of ants and initially didn't think much of it. Then my best friend noticed ants on her bed--and not just one or two, they were swarming. We reported it to the front desk and asked to speak with management. Unfortunately, we weren't offered any real solutions. Housekeeping was unavailable, the hotel was supposedly sold out, and they told us if we wanted to switch hotels, we'd have to pay for it ourselves. We were offered some loyalty points and a one-night refund--but we were five hours from home and it was too late to hit the road again. Maintenance came and said they found the issue and treated it. They also claimed the sheets would be changed. We left for dinner hopeful--but came back to even more ants. At that point, we had no choice but to sleep in the one bed that was ant-free and leave at the crack of dawn. As we checked out, we spoke to the manager again, who basically told us they can't control ants and acted as if she had done all she could. She even bragged about how she had "upgraded" our room--as if that made the ant infestation okay. Extremely disappointed, irritated, and still waiting to hear from ownership--who never reached out despite our attempts. A complete letdown from what should have been a relaxing weekend. Avoid if you care about cleanliness, accountability, or real customer service. read more

This hotel is a bit of an anomaly... while it is in a nice area, the amenities are a bit meh. I was quite surprised that none of the usual hotel "freebies" were available (like coffee in the morning for early risers). As for the surrounding restaurants, they seemed to be more geared to young professionals living in the immediate area. My son and walked around the area to see if we could find anything else but wound up back at the Hofbrau Haus next to the hotel. As for the room, no issues. read more

Perfectly nice Courtyard. Free parking. Friendly staff. The lounge area is nicely decorated and spacious. Indoor pool was very clean and deep enough to permit a good workout. Strong shower and cozy bed, too. I'd stay here again. read more

second time Ive stayed here and it is almost perfect.. super clean, friendly staff, easy to get to great rates free parking. I really couldn't ask for anything else. I was told by a former employee there that the general manager is great and all the staff are like family. highly recommend! read more

Pleasantly surprised by this courtyard on Yard Street. I usually stay at Hilton but this one was closest to my office. Very quiet neighborhood, clean areas, clean room. Mattress was comfortable, no complaints. My problem with Marriott is the HVAC units and it looks like they solved that problem through decor... by placing a couch in front of it. It was a bit humid in the room but that could just be the Midwest/Great Lakes. They had a rainy week before I arrived. read more

Great property and close to campus. Menu is a bit limited from a staffing perspective. Full bar with breakfast and dinner options. Hoffbrrau hit him a coin-toss. Rooms are clean and beds comfortable. Ample parking. Nice new Marriott in my book on stay #5 read more

Very nice comfortable hotel. Clean with friendly desk staff. Cute bistro for coffee and a Biergarten next door with a giant menu and outdoor seating. Sadly on my second night the cab of an 18wheeler parked on the street outside my window over night. It was so loud it sounded like I was sleeping at a truck stop. read more

4 stars because of the bistro. The staff there are super friendly and attentive. I was really impressed with their hospitality and service. The food is pretty good as well. As for the rooms themselves, they were acceptable but must agree with the other reviewers about the paper thin walls. The room next to me had a wedding party one night and it was quite loud. Luckily had quiet neighbors rest of the rests.  Location is good pretty close to OSU. read more

Up and coming development in this area. Courtyard is 1 of 3 (soon to be 4) newer hotels in the area. Nice area. Nice and new establishment. Only 2 pub/restaurants really within walking distance, however--Eddie George Grille & a German pub. Bed very comfortable. Rooms nice. Very friendly staff. Adequate parking. Organization paid for accommodations; consequently, don't know if establishment is worth the $$. Bistro available but no free breakfast (luckily my .org included it in our deal). Food was very good! Would be a little pricey if purchasing out of my own pocket. Free basic internet provided. USA Today free in lobby. Would agree with another reviewer--paper thin walls. Heard too much hallway and room noise. While not in an urban setting or on heavily traveled road, a lot of city noise can be heard--traffic, sirens, etc. May or may not consider in future. Cannot complain too much--it was FREE to me--but I'm not sure if I would choose this specific place if I was booking accommodations. read more

Attended a wedding in the area and the reception was connected to the Marriott. The convenience was ideal but the mattresses were the absolute worst. Truly, they were so firm and uncomfortable it is the first hotel I have stayed at in which I couldn't wait to check out and get home to my bed. I was not alone in my discomfort as my husband and children agreed to the misery. read more

Stayed here for a work meeting. The water in the sink smelled like sewer. It was a small odor, but I could smell it. There were 3 Long brown hairs as you walk into the shower. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The convention center is nice. Good location. Room was nicely renovated. I'm just not sure how clean it was. It was fine, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

Beautiful new hotel in a great location. Seemed too good to be true for a Platinum member. The walls are PAPER THIN. Currently I am listening to on person cough in the room on one side of me and on the other side, people are blaring a movie. It's really disappointing and I've never have this kind of experience at a hotel. I will not be staying here again when I come back to Columbus. read more

Great location. Has Fox News. Has one of the better gyms that I have worked out in at a Courtyard. Service at the Bistro was great and checkin was less than 60 seconds with my elite status. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. read more

All I can say is WOW. I haven't been this blown away by a hotel in a long time. The beds were outrageously comfortable. The hotel is chic and modern, complete with a Starbucks and bar in the lobby. The restaurant was also very good. I couldn't recommend this hotel more!! read more

Stayed here a weekend wedding. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great lobby. Very modern rooms with great furniture, shower and decoration. Walking distance to several restaurants, and the event center. We had no issues with hearing neighboring rooms, it was quiet. Will stay again. read more

Cleanest hotel I have stayed at. Room was so perfectly cleaned and staff was very kind.

Stayed here while in town recently on business. Seems like a brand new hotel and was pleasantly surprised. I'd definitely consider staying here again. read more
