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.

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.

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.

We come to Columbus every year for the Arnold and were incredibly excited to stay at The Joseph. The staff has been friendly and accommodating and the hotel itself is beautiful. The disappointing part falls on the hotel’s decision to contract a 5pm checkout for a very large group on the Thursday leading into the Arnold Sports Festival - most rooms remain unavailable even hours past the 3pm check in time and there are close to 30 of us -all with reservations that were generally made months in advance - waiting in the lobby for our rooms. It’s not the end of the world, but it is below the standard I would expect for a luxury hotel. Again, I have to iterate that the staff themselves have been wonderful and this is a difficult situation they have been put in, it’s just a disappointing start to a stay we were excited for.

WOW! We have stayed at many Marriott’s and many many in Columbus. This hotel will now be the only one we stay at on our visits. Clean, comfortable and amenities not commonly found in rooms anymore. No question on where to stay for us next time!

I took my wife to a dinner event at this hotel on Feb 7, 2026. It was 13 degrees outside, so we tried using the valet service. We were denied service because the valet was “overwhelmed”. He spent several minutes with my passenger door open explaining why we wouldn’t take my car. We asked him several times to shut it, so we could find parking and he kept it open with his foot on the step side of my SUV. From an individual to individual, I hear you. It’s cold and a very busy night in Columbus. From a service and doing the job you signed up for, come on man. It’s wildly cold outside and you just denied my wife and me a paid service. Take my car, drive slow, put the heated and massage seats on and chill for a minute. We had to use street side parking roughly 3 blocks away and walk. Snow was up to our knees and the pathway to walk, where there was one, was 10-12 inches wide. When I let the hotel know the issue, they said they would check on it. When I let the restaurant know, they said they would address the issue. Once we finished our dinner (~$600) the host at the restaurant came to let us know that they addressed it with the hotel and thanked us for the understanding. I’m not one for asking for free things because I think that’s petty, but goodness. I’m usually an ambassador elite member, though I do drop to titanium last year, with Marriott hotels. This was seriously the worst handled inconvenience I have had in my more than 12 years with Bonvoy. This is a one off, and I have no other experience with Le Méridien, so take this for what it is. I hope they provide better service for others in the future. It was a very inconvenient night to have this kind of issue that came to no known conclusion. Maybe the hotel needs to staff up their valet stand, so their employees don’t feel like this. It was very much not like any Marriott experience I have had anywhere.

This is one of the best hotels I stayed in for quite some time. Now, the entrance was rowdy and overwhelming as they were having an event and I had been driving for hours at night, but I was able to navigate to the check in desk without an issue. The rooms are extremely clean and trendy. Only downside was the parking, valet is the only option. There is only a small area to offload.

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.

We chose this hotel for our 5-year anniversary getaway, expecting a luxurious experience based on how the property is marketed. Unfortunately, our stay did not live up to that expectation. Upon arrival, we requested a high floor with a city view and were assigned Room 1007. I strongly recommend not accepting this room. Throughout our stay, there was constant loud noise above us, similar to being directly beneath a pool, with sounds continuing both day and night. Whether it was old pipes or another issue, it made the room very uncomfortable and disruptive. For a hotel that presents itself as upscale, several details were disappointing. The bathroom was stocked with very thin, off-brand toilet paper, and there was no conditioner in the shower upon arrival (though the front desk did promptly bring a bottle, which we appreciated). Additionally, the bedding was extremely firm, to the point that I woke up unable to turn my head left or right, which ultimately led us to leave early. We booked a 4 day stay. It snowed 2 nights during the stay and many of the sidewalks including this hotels stayed slippery from not throwing salt as well. If you are looking for a truly luxurious hotel experience, this is not it. That said, the staff were kind, helpful, and welcoming, which deserves recognition. The coffee from The Soul was excellent, and while we didn’t dine there, the hotel is in a great location surrounded by top-notch restaurants. The art gallery on the second floor is also a nice touch and worth visiting. Overall, while the service and location were strong, the room quality and overall comfort fell short of what’s advertised.

My husband I were gifted a weekend stay at this hotel. (12/5-12/7) I chose this room specifically for the large soaking tub. Upon arrival the room seems perfect. Beautiful decor, Nespresso machine, huge king bed and even a Christmas tree. As soon as we checked I headed for that tub. To my shock there was MOLD. Mold on the ceiling, on the floor. Rusty fixtures! And the sliding door was dropping metal shavings all over the floor. I was grateful I brought slippers to avoid getting metal in my feet! The next day we ordered room service breakfast and there was a hair in my napkin/silverware roll up! I expected a better quality mold, rust and hair free experience from this hotel. If you plan on staying here, lower your expectations.
