“I appreciate the Residence Inn Columbus Downtown's ambition - converting a historic bank into a hotel is no small feat, and the vault-turned-breakfast area is a nice touch. The inclusion of full kitchens in every suite is a definite plus for longer stays, and I do think the location hits the mark for downtown events. Still, some past guest experiences suggest that updates are needed to truly deliver on its potential.”
