I only stopped by to get a map, but instead spent several hours watching films about Irwin Miller, his home and the architecture of Columbus. The building itself is lovely with modern artistic areas and a fabulous Chihuly glass sculpture. The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. One staff member played a film for us (alone) to learn about the local architecture. They offer guided tours of the city and the Miller house. Reservations are required for the tours, which fill up quickly. They have information on their website about the tours so you can book in advance. Their gift shop is filled with art and books about architecture. There is plenty of parking in their private lot. Restrooms are available.

I took the tour because I have heard so much about the architecture in this small town. I was not disappointed. I loved hearing the back ground stories on all the buildings as well as the facts about each. Very interesting and a must if you love architecture. I do have one big gripe , which is that the air conditioning wasn't working on the shuttle we took, which was rough since it was quite a hot and humid day. Once back at the visitor center, I did a little shopping. Love the merchandise from local artists. Also picked up a few more brochures about Columbus specifically and some about the region in general. If you are new to the area, you should stop here first so you can plan your visit and not miss anything. Pick out your favorites and take it from there. Enjoy this little town with lots to offer.

My original room was reserved with a king bed and to check in early I opted for a room with two queen beds. The room was clean and provided a small refrigerator, coffee machine, personal bathroom items and plenty of storage. I was near the elevator but never experienced noise from guests coming and going. Breakfast was included, hot and cold items. Plenty of coffee, tea and other drinks, and the kitchen lounge area provided plenty of modern seating. I'd you need something small, there's a marketplace in the lobby with snacks and drinks, including alcohol. This hotel is close to downtown Columbus as well. We went there for dinner and it was an easy trip. Private parking lot and no charge for parking. This will be on my list for work/personal visits to Columbus.

I booked the Red Roof online since it was the lowest price place in the area that had decent reviews. It about met my low expectations. The staff was decent and checkin and checkout were ok. I was booked in a first floor room near the back of the motel, decent amount of parking, although it seemed the place was fairly empty. The room itself was ok; queen bed, bathroom, fridge and microwave. Flatscreen TV with plenty of basic cable channels, no premium channels. Cleanliness was good; however overall the room was showing lots of signs of wear and tear. The shower is relatively low, I am 5'7" and the bottom of the shower head was about my height. Towels were clean but a bit thin, it took both bath towels to dry myself. No hair dryer in the room. Despite what it may say online they are not currently offering breakfast, although there is coffee and juice available. The Red Roof Inn is at best a 1-2 star motel. My room was clean, but the motel needs to be updated. The location is not the best, but ok to stay if the price is right.
