The Marines landed!
The only problem for us - and one for which we were not very inconvenienced - was that our visit to Columbus for a family wedding happened to coincide with the annual Marine Corps Ball. As a result, the hotel was overwhelmed at check in and valet parking with dozens of simultaneous arrivals of a large number of well-dressed, well-behaved young men and women.... and us.
We certainly don't begrudge the Marines their annual fete, we only wish the hotel had been better prepared for the concentration of activity. Other than that, the hotel and the Marines were terrific..
