Top Court District Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"We spent one night here, on the drive from Colorado to Ohio. The hotel is clean, quiet, well maintained and easily accessed from I-80. The late night front desk staff was great. Our room was clean and had all of the amenities we needed. We REALLY appreciate the fee for a dog being only $10. Breakfast was decent. More plant based options would be appreciated. We would definitely consider staying there again."

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"
