Starting with the good… Location, the staff, and the parking. Lumin (the bar) was particularly awesome. The bad…the room. It looks modern, but the wall paper was lifting at every seam, even coming off in some areas. The toilet seat was so loose, it made you feel like you would fall off, and the shower pressure was super light. I was quite surprised. It also had a stale smell… like maybe it was a smoking room at one point t in the past. We stayed in 319, so avoid that one if you are sensitive to scents.

Lovely room / charged for parking
Our room was quite lovely! Bed wasn’t bad, had a pretty good night’s sleep. Huge shower. Check in/Day staff was so friendly. Six or seven minute walk to Nationwide Arena so that was great, since we were watching a concert there. The $39 charge for ‘valet’ parking (which was someone parking your car into a spot right next to the valet stand) was a bit much. Why ya going to charge to have your guests park in the hotel parking lot? That part was a bit ridiculous, otherwise we had a nice stay.

We were in town for an event. The room was the Cleanest room experience in the past several years of staying at hotels around the country! The room was also Spacious, Quite, Warm, and very Comfortable. Staff was excellent, professional, friendlly and very responsive. Will stay hear again if the opportunity arises.

We stayed at the AC Hotel on a trip to see a concert at Kemba Live. It was a very convenient location and the staff was great! The rooftop bar was nice. The only negative was how loud it was to slide the bathroom door closed and there was no fan in the bathroom.

There's a bar across the street on the Park St. side that was blaring music until 3am on Saturday evening. It was fine on Friday. If you stay here on a weekend, stay on the other side of the building. Parking is valet only and $39 per day. Other than that, we had a nice stay. Staff was great and rooms were clean and nice. Nice roof top bar.
