Best and cleanest place we have ever stayed at! If I were to have to trave 50 miles out of the way, the drive would be worth it. A super stay!

Hotel Indigo Columbus at Riverfront Place by IHG
Room was clean, Valet was great, staff was super friendly. Definitely will return next time in Columbus. Doubt I’ll stay anywhere else, highly recommend. Also the view of the river is worth it alone.
