Worth Every Penny
First let me say, we got a GREAT rate on this hotel on hotwire.com. My parents and my family (including 3 young daughters who love to stay in hotels) had adjoining rooms on the second floor. What we absolutely loved was: the unique pool area. We loved the indoor/outdoor pool and whirlpool area. The fitness room was full of great state of the art, clean treadmills, machines, and weights. The towels were thick and luxurious. Sheets the same; high quality. Beds comfortable with lots of different sized pillows. Some incidentals were great: the toiletries high quality/pleasant smelling, shower curtain and shower head appeared brand new and clean, flat screen TV with great channels, WiFi access in our room, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, one cup coffee maker with TASTY coffee. And, I must say, the housekeeping staff deserve big huge accolades. They were the friendliest, most kind people - each making effort to greet us, and make polite conversation when we encountered them. The room was very quiet; we were not disturbed by noise from any other guests, and I really hope that any of our noise did not disturb anyone else!
The 'needs improvement' list was minor, and as mentioned before, we still feel that the room was worth every penny that we paid on hotwire and only listed here in the interest of suggestions for improvement: 1970's era bottle cap remover installed in bathroom, dingy tub bottom (still, mostly everything in room was very CLEAN), there was a hole in one of our pillowcases, pull out sofa bed was not comfortable, furniture was rather scuffed/old looking, sofa in need of cleaning, carpet and all of bathroom very worn and dated - old, slightly peeling wallpaper, very 70's looking shell in tub area, shower bar coming out of wall. My daughters also noted 'stinky' smell in hallway; I believe there were some guests who were smoking in their rooms, which is an unfamiliar smell to them. My daughters love nature - so the outdoor pond/swamp area was a draw for them. There is a lovely outdoor paved/track area that, if regularly cleared of the massive amounts of duck poop, would be a runners haven away from home. A simple working fountain might also do well to clear a moderate amount of the massive algae accumulation due to stagnation there. 
We did not choose to dine in the hotel restaurant, as the breakfast buffet price of $12.97 per person scared us off. There is a Waffle House around the corner that served us well. We also had dinner at Lola and Guiseppi's - rated #1 on Tripadvisor for Columbus restaurants FOR A VERY GOOD REASON!!! - and a 15 minute drive from here, in Gahanna.
