Nice for a competition at the convention center. Clean rooms and more quiet than others in the area we've stayed at before. Restaurant is good and very reasonably priced.
The hotel was conveniently located. Stayed in the loft room was lovely with an excellent view and large windows. I would recommend and stay here again!
Room was nice and the bed was comfortable! My biggest upset was that there was construction happening in the room next to us. I was hoping for a morning sleeping in but that didn’t happen once the construction began. Would be nice if they didn’t book rooms close to one under repair.
Excellent hotel! The location was very clean. Five minutes to nationwide Arena food was excellent and the staff was very courteous. Highly recommend to stay here.
Great place very quiet. Very nice walk to the Nationwide Arena. The Vine+Forge had great staff they were very efficient! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Friendly staff, clean room, and great location. The bar/restaurant was also solid and it was very nice to have it open over the Thanksgiving holiday. We also used the gym on multiple days – it's nothing special, but it's spacious and has a full dumbbell set, so it worked well.
Great hotel. We always stay here when we are in Columbus. I accidentally left my coat hanging in the room and the hotel was kind enough to save it for me until I returned to get it. Thanks!
