This is a time piece that you should book! The atmosphere, ambience, location are all a gem. The staff and service are friendly, helpful, and welcoming.
I stumbled upon City Mills Hotel in downtown Columbus, right along the river, and it was such a gem. Between the rich history and those peaceful scenic views, it was exactly what I needed to slow down and unwind after an empowering day with the girls. The room was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the river view was an excellent choice.
The room was very clean and comfortable.The staff were all lovely and very friendly. This is a very nice hotel right on the river so the views are wonderful. It is also very convenient to the historic downtown area.

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, comfortable bed, good breakfast, and interesting history. Gonna try the restaurant next stop!
The whole decor was modern with a great mixture of a rustic feel. The staff was very professional, courteous, attentive and very helpful. The gentleman at the desk was helpful in making sure my room had what I needed. The restaurant was awesome with their food, drinks and decor. I would definitely love to stay there again. The only negative was I wasn't able to get my room warm like I desire it.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The onsite restaurant was fantastic. It is located about a mile from the downtown shops and restaurants. Breakfast was included and we were pleasantly surprised. Eggs, grits, biscuits and gravy and sausage. There was also oatmeal, cereal and pastries. We would stay here again.
