Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbus-Edinburgh

4/10 Poor

"3 night stay by 2 elderly ladies. Check in was pleasant. Agreeable to immediately change rooms due to frig barely cool. Rm #2: no body soap in mounted dispenser, didnt get out of shower to look for bar soap, may have been in hall sink? Front desk, said "housekeeping can't check all supplies". No housekeeping, restocking of towels, coffee, trash out.... unless requesting it, due to things including "social distancing". F desk asked us to come down to get what we needed. Made 4 trips (at least) over the visit. No mention of too late to ask for the next day when requested hkeeping for next day. No results. There is a note provided by the TV, hadn't read it at 1st. So next afternoon, F desk said needed to request before 9:00 the day before. Note said 11:00am. NO HOUSEKEEPING FOR 3 NIGHTS. Fire alarm worked well at 3:00 am. Hours later, staff said it went off because of a storm? No hint of expression of apology or empathy. Loved the sisters that work there, they are warm & friendly. Food served it's purpose, had better at much cheaper hotels. Gravy & potatos not offered every day & alternate, ----'eggs (scram & boiled)& sausage, waffles. daily, amongst white bread & bagels, & other dry best foods & drinks. AC , TV, worked well, bed comfortable. No hot tub per staff, small pool, water clear, but bottom looked dirty, staff said just needed painting. Lots of carpet stain, but they were working on it. This is my objective 3 night experience, I'm a down to earth person."
