Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel
We stayed in a nicely appointed Jr suite. Room was clean and comfortable and spacious for our weekend stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Starbucks in the building was a bonus! Only constructive criticism would be, to charge for parking & WiFi on top of suite rate is excessive.
