Our stay was ok. The staff was nice. The place itself was ok too. The service could be better. I asked for some towels, took them an hour+ to bring some clean towels. Breakfast wasn't much of choices. Overall, it was an ok stay.

Enjoyed our stay!
Came down for the Quarter Horse Congress was our second year staying here. Nice to be able to walk back and forth. A car window was busted out beside our vehicle one night and the next night there was security in the parking lot which was nice

Expo Center Events
If you were attending an event at the expo center in Columbus, this is the place to stay. It’s within easy walking distance. You’re able to park and walk to the event. Rooms were clean. There is a light breakfast in the morning which consists of coffee, juice, a couple cereal options, yogurt, and muffins

The bathroom did not have grab bars in the shower which is a serious health hazard. I am currently disabled and was very disappointed, especially since the pictures of the property showed grab bars. The room interior is very dated and not the cleanest. Disappointing for a Wyndham property.
