Stay Someplace Else
I had a business trip in Columbus in July of 2012. Based on a couple of internet reviews, I opted to stay at the Wingate at Polaris. This hotel is owned & operated by “PVS Ltd.” I don’t know PVS Ltd., nor have I ever stayed at one of their facilities before. But my impression is they simply don’t care. Because they’re running this hotel on a skeleton crew and the place looks pretty neglected. I was there over the weekend. And during my stay, there was one front desk person at any given time and no maintenance people. I had a problem with the shower and asked that it be fixed. They were unable to accommodate me because their maintenance person doesn’t come in during the weekends. The only thing they could do for me was to move me to another room. The elevators were dirty and there was graffiti scratched on the interior elevator doors (very classy!). The whirlpool was drained and the whirlpool room was filled with junk (apparently it’s now a storage room). The breakfast buffet was very bad. They allow the pool to stay open until 11:00 at night. I heard loud kids playing and splashing until they closed it down. (I have kids, and I’m fine with them playing and having a good time….but not when it’s that late and I have to be at a conference the next morning at 7:30 a.m.). Do yourself a favor and do not stay here. This place is god awful.
