I had a mixed experience at The Westin Great Southern Columbus. While the staff was genuinely friendly and the hotel exuded charming historic vibes, I was disappointed with my room choice, which was quite small and dark. The restaurant service was also off, taking much longer than expected and lacking some essential breakfast items. Overall, it was an average stay with some positives and negatives to note.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Westin Great Southern Columbus. On one hand, the historic charm of the hotel and the comfortable beds were standout features. but I ran into several issues that were disappointing. My initial room felt like a dungeon with its lack of windows, and I had trouble with housekeeping. However, the friendly staff did their best to help where they could.

Rooms
