Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Downtown
Clean room, comfortable bed, room is a little bit "landlord special" with all of the paint on things like the metal bathroom door frame (which made it loud and difficult to close). Hotel is also by a bus terminal so expect to here reverse sirens.

Hotel LeVeque, Autograph Collection
Friendly staff. Being a city hotel, there was a loud rumbling throughout the night. There would be one minute of silence and then it would start up again. Who knows what it was? That kept me from sleeping, but it was the only downside of the hotel and no doubt could not be avoided.
