Room and breakfast were great. The hotel bar needs more staffing as the bartenders always have a line of people waiting for drinks because they have to bartend, and run food to the tables.

Front desk service was terrific, breakfast was great, bourbon bar also fabulous. The building was very unique, and we appreciated the renovation efforts. Our suite was spacious and fairly clean. However- and this is quite serious- maintenance entered our room under non-emergency circumstances without our permission despite the do not disturb sign on our door. There was no advance notice- just a knock (which we ignored, as we were relaxing in the bedroom), then another knock, then two men used a key card & entered our room claiming they needed to look at the mirror in above the vanity. Extremely unsettling. We were sure to secure the extra lock until we checked out the following morning. Hotel management was made aware and an apology was issued.

The staff I interacted with were fabulous, especially Marcos in the Buckeye Bourbon House. The breakfast was fine - It's your standard upgraded continental hotel breakfast buffet. The building itself is really cool. The preservation of the historical architectural features of the old bank are really beautiful. My big issues relate to the overall condition of the hotel, especially the elevator and room. One of the elevators appeared to be under construction and was in really rough shape. Unfortunately this is the elevator that came for me every ride but one - The other elevator was nice! My room itself was a little rundown. There were loose tiles in the kitchen by the floor. The door to my room did not close correctly - It had to be slammed very loudly. The TV did not have streaming services, something common to most Marriott properties.
