Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph

Traveling Schlatherburys 2 months ago

We absolutely loved Le Meridien! From out arrival to departure, everything was perfect. We were so impressed with how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Our room was spacious and well appointed with beautiful views. We booked a package that included breakfast each morning at Soul or in-room. We chose in-room dining each day because our room was so comfortable, we didn't feel the need to rush to get ready. We booked a couples massage at Liliana & it was one of the best massages we've ever had. We enjoyed the relaxation Suite before and after our massage & I would not book without this again. The suite had a couch, television, bottled water, bathtub, shower and a heated relaxation chaise in the shower room. After our massage, we returned to the relaxation suite to enjoy all the amenities while sharing a bottle of champagne. We had cocktails and dinner at The Guild House. The service was great & the food and drinks were prepared to our liking. The location of the hotel was perfect as we were within walking distance to many boutiques, restaurants as well as the North Market. The weather was a little cloudy on one day of our visit so the valet staff provided us with a complementary umbrella which came in handy during our walk. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our stay. Le Meridien will definitely be our go to hotel when in Columbus.

I enjoy staying at Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph, I’ve stayed a few times when my friend visits so we can enjoy what downtown has to offer. During my most recent check-in, I had an uncomfortable experience with the front desk associate, Rhyan Throughout the check-in process, Rhyan provided almost no information about the hotel or its amenities—no mention of breakfast, the bar, or anything else. The only information he offered was when he handed us the keys & that was a reminder that smoking and vaping are not allowed in the room. Neither of us smoke or vape, so this felt unnecessary and confusing. What made it stand out even more was hearing the guest next to us receive a full overview of the hotel during their check-in, without any mention of smoking or vaping. As a Marriott associate myself and a repeat guest at this property, this interaction felt inconsistent and uncomfortable. I’m unsure whether the treatment was influenced by the associate discount or something else that i would hope isn’t the case, but it did make us feel singled out. That said, I do want to note that the bar staff provided an excellent experience. They were welcoming, professional, and attentive, which helped improve our overall stay. I’ve enjoyed this hotel in the past, which is why this experience stood out. I hope management can address consistency at the front desk so all guests receive the same level of hospitality and information upon arrival.

I stayed at the Le Méridien Columbus for a quick overnight business trip in Columbus, Ohio and had a great experience. The hotel was easy to access from the airport, and the front desk staff were professional and welcoming. After a long day of travel, I enjoyed excellent service at the lobby bar with colleagues. My standard king room was comfortable, well-designed, and very inviting. The standout feature for me was the shower, perfect after a long travel day. The hotel is an easy walk to the convention center, and arena. Lots a great restaurants near the hotel. Overall, a fantastic stay, and I look forward to coming back.

Honestly, the hotel used to be great but needs some serious upgrades to be five stars again. Let’s start with the rooms - we were on the 7th floor overlooking the freeway - noise was tolerable because the flow of traffic sounds like white noise once you get used to it. The central AC worked great and no noise from that so we could keep the room at our desired temp. Now my biggest complaint was the use of a polyester mattress protector. I know most hotels use these but I slept so hot every night I tossed and turned all night long. Being part of the Marriott group you would think they have a system for keeping the protector buried under a breathable topper but for whatever reason our bed was not the case. We travel so much for work and stay all over. We ended up checking out early (losing our last night) and staying at a Courtyard Marriott by OSU - slept great and got on our plane home the next morning recharged and rested. There is some clunkiness around the staff in the lobby as well. On our first day I was coming out of the elevator into the dark hallway and some staff were midway into rolling a giant mat - presenting a 1ft roll on the ground. No one warned me and I tripped over it in the dark. The guy even saw me coming out of the elevator and didn’t say anything. I felt bad for him because he apologized profusely but it felt really obvious that guest safety is number one when doing maintenance in a dark hallway. I will not be staying there again when the Courtyard was a more comfortable and convenient hotel. And without the $50 a night for valet.

My first time staying at Le Meridien Columbus after many visits to the city, and I absolutely loved it. The vibe feels more like a W Hotel — energetic and stylish — but the rooms are actually much larger and better appointed, with a clean, modern design. The bar downstairs has a great atmosphere, and the neighborhood has way more to do than the typical downtown area, while still being just minutes away. I’ll definitely be staying here again on future trips!
