Moxy Columbus Short North
Hotel is cute and the area surrounding it is very nice. The room was not clean though, stray hairs all over the floor and desk. You could tell it hadn’t been swept/mopped.

Clifford at the front desk deserves a raise. What a fantastic representative for the organization. Personable, funny, and cares. Wants to be sure each and every customer feels welcome. Price for parking was a bit ridiculous. $42 to park. Please!
