I had a mixed experience during my stay at the Residence Inn Columbus Downtown. The spacious room was definitely a highlight, featuring a comfy bed and a full-sized fridge. However, issues with service and logistics, like the long elevator wait times and an underwhelming breakfast, really affected my overall enjoyment. Despite some great qualities, I left feeling a bit let down by the overall experience.
