Not Happy
TV didn't work. We got back to the room late after walking through a downpour from the arena, and the TV didn't work. No information in the room on how to call the front desk. We had already gotten out of our dripping wet clothes when I called the outside line to the hotel from my cell. No one at the front desk had a reasonable solution at 11pm (I didn't really expect them to). Hotel didn't seem concerned about the issue. Large hair ball stuck to the wall in the shower. Coffee in the room is instant with a tea pot to heat water. Would not start here again. Hilton should not have their name on this place.

I’ve stayed here several times now. I love the Ohio State themed decor and the beds are comfortable. Everyone that works there is extremely friendly. The location is great right in Short North so you can walk to restaurants and shops. My only complaint is that the ceiling of each room is bare concrete, which takes away from the feel of the room and makes it feel unfinished.

Pricey but worth it
We stay at a Graduate hotel near us in Annapolis all the time. While this one was wonderful, it was WAY smaller of a room than our usual graduate. But it worked for what needed it for. Service was great at the front desk. Valet people were nice but pricey for pretty much parking your car yourself then having them move it. Then when we needed something from the car they had to go get it for us which was a little
Inconvenient.
We went to the bar “homage” one night and it was ok. The service was sub par. The two people working the bar were on their phones the whole time and had a speaker playing music very loudly behind the bar.
The location of this hotel is the best part. So close and easy to get everywhere! We were in town for the Arnold and it was the perfect walking distance to get there without being too far! We would stay again for sure.
