My name is Taminka Malloy; it was my daughter (Ariana') 21st birthday. We wanted to take a girl's trip to somewhere we could have fun and be safe. I decided to book and nice hotel; that was in a safe location; with security. I looked at the reviews and what others had to say. I was very pleased; I called to ask about the location and what was offered. I was wanting a place that we would be safe and would be able to fun. When I told them it was my daughter's 21st birthday; they were a really big help. When I found out there was a roof top lounge and bar; I knew this was the place for us! I booked immediately. My daughter had never been to one; she's always wanted to go. I wanted her to have the best time but still stay with in my budget. The price was great; along with valet parking, I didn't have to worry about my new truck being broken into or stolen. My daughter was very excited about the room and everything in it! I was excited also; the staff was very nice, kind, and respectable. Our room was on the 7th floor, right below the roof top lounge on the 8th floor. It was clean and no bugs, peeling wallpaper, mold smell, dirty sheets, or unsavory things we've seen in the past. Our experience at the roof top lounge was excellent! We didn't have a reservation, and it was packed. We didn't mind because the atmosphere was great; no fighting, arguing, too loud music, or sloppy drunks. We had comped drinks and the food was GREAT! The wait staff was nice and helpful with the menu. ; )
A gorgeous night view, outside our window (front of hotel looking left).
Street view by elevators on the 7th floor as the sun is going down (parking lot).
Night view of Columbus from the 7th floor (front of hotel).
Roof to lounge and bar; fireplace. Loving the view, from where I'm sitting.

John, Deerfield

The bed was not comfortable, very noisy every time you moved. The vent in the room was noisy when the a/c kicked on. I was very disappointed that I paid for 2 nights of secure parking only to find out that 34 cars had their windows smashed. My window miraculously was not. However, someone from behind the desk, who seemed franctic handed me my car keys on the way out as there was no valet present. I was not yet aware of what happened. He did not offer any warning or tell me what happened which I thought was very poor.

Who Knew

Me and hubby enjoyed our stay. The staff is friendly and the rooms are very clean. I’ve never heard of AC Hotel. Glad we found it! The hotel is located in downtown Columbus. Will definitely stay there again.
