Hilton Columbus Downtown
Staff was wonderful. Room was spotless. Great food and drink opportunities. Valet service was exceptional. Had to deal with a large conference at the same time which presented many challenges though.

Staff was friendly, breakfast was good but could maybe do some change ups instead of the same thing every single day. WIFI is excellent, big 55" tv in the rooms to watch tv on.
