Hawthorn Extended Stay By Wyndham Columbus, Columbus

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were initially disappointing, with one smelling like something was dead in it due to a faulty mattress and both being dirty. However, I did manage to get an upgraded room eventually that was comfortable. The service was a bit of a letdown with friendly staff, but some issues with locking the room and unhelpful attitudes. The location was a bit questionable, surrounded by abandoned buildings but with convenient access to great food spots. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with awesome breakfast in one part but horrible food quality and service in another.

Staying at the hotel felt like being in a low-quality apartment complex, with rooms reminiscent of Section 8 ghetto apartments. I was relieved that the stove worked, as we had to resort to using the oven for heating. However, it did have a homely apartment-like feel.

The hotel room was spacious and not too expensive, but unfortunately had bugs and the breakfast was not up to standard. It was advertised as non-smoking, but cleanliness could be improved with noticeable cobwebs and dust.

The hotel had its positives with a convenient location near eateries and shopping, but the overall experience fell short due to room odors and inadequate service. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

Despite a few drawbacks, my stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although surprisingly peaceful given the seedy surroundings, had a slight old smoke odor lingering. Having a pot in the room was convenient. The service provided was very nice and extremely outgoing, but there was a rude encounter at one point. The location, albeit with sketchy surroundings, had a bustling atmosphere with special people around. The dining experience was somewhat inaccessible due to the upstairs location but was worth the effort. The facilities were decent overall.
