“Very impressed with the guest relations I believe as Sanray? Wonderful job as we had questions during our stay and felt they did their best to accommodate. Great location too!”

“This venue is truly outstanding, and we’re so glad we chose it for our 50th celebration. We hosted about 145 guests with a DJ and full food service, yet the space still felt comfortable with plenty of room to mingle, walk around, and dance.
John was wonderful to work with—very attentive, accommodating, and patient. He listened to all our requirements, supported our decoration and planning needs with ample setup time, and worked closely with us to ensure the lighting and sound were perfect throughout the event. He also helped us set up a well-curated bar with a great selection of beverages for our guests, which everyone appreciated.
The location is convenient and offers plenty of parking, making it easy for guests traveling from nearby areas. We will certainly prioritize this venue for future events.
Thank you to John and the entire team for their exceptional support.”
“This place was absolutely fantastic!! I came for a senior event ? The staff was the bomb!! I am looking forward to spending many days here? my daughter loved it also?
Wheelchair accessibility: I was able to move around in my mobile scooter easily the staff was so accommodating!”
“As long as it hosts the All American Quarter Horse Congress, this is the place to be in October. Been coming here for years. Make it a stop and come see some of the best horses in the country if not the world.”
“The center is a nice building to have a function there. Restrooms are nice and clean and handicap accessible. Plenty of parking. The one issue that they don't tell you is that you need to exit the parking lot at the street behind the building in order to turn left on the olentangy road.”

“Good place to see a movie! The seats were not very comfortable mainly because they did not have enough leg room. The theaters' halls smelled very unpleasant. But overall, it's pretty good!”
“Beautiful, innovative and well used art space. Its dynamic collections, classes and community make this a top notch h cultural center for Northern Columbus. Love it here! (Photo from current Stephanie Rond exhibition ??)”
“The Alpha Group hosted its annual fundraising event at Brookshire and we had a really good experience. The room was already beautiful, the food was great and the staff were helpful. We had 175 people in attendance and it was the perfect fit.”
“Attended annual Halloween event and it was a great experience. Since it was raining sporadically the crowd was lower than expected.Admission was free for us since we are members so I am not positive about the cost.”
“Villa Milano and their owners are amazing! I was very grateful for this venue. We had a LifeWise Academy/Olentangy Dinner/Fundraiser there and they worked with us every minute, every step of the way! We had people add on last minute, we had food allergy needs, and we needed to make the stage work for our needs. They coached us through all of it. They are so experienced in what they do, their sound system, the lighting capabilities, their screens, their entrance and table experience, their space...all of it was so professional and beautiful. They allowed us to put our own decor in where we wanted, but all blended with theirs. Their food menu has so many great choices, and our two entrees were incredible along with our two dessert choices. Their salad was outstanding! The wait staff that helped serve our tables was incredible. I would highly recommend their venue for any event from Dinners, to Fundraisers, to weddings, whatever your needs are, they seem to be able to meet the need!”
“I attended the Open House on Saturday, April 24, 2021 and I was blown away. The owners were very professional and personable. The courses that were catered by Fat's Catering were beyond delectable. A wonderful experience from start to finish. I am anxious to host events at this magical venue! Keep up the good work :)”
“We stayed for 1 day and on a Monday, so I don't know how helpful I'll be. That said, we enjoyed our stay. It's a very pleasant hotel, clean, large rooms and a wonderful staff. The indoor pool was warm with abundant towels and we had the place to ourselves. We'd stay again.”
“Hidden gem in Columbus for events. We had a corporate company picnic for 300 guests in the summertime. Wonderful experience. Beautiful grand old lodge with rich, well cared for wooden everything.”
“Very friendly staff. Very very clean place, it even smells clean! Reasonably priced and they have memberships for more frequent visitors. This was our first time here and our boys, 1 & 2, loved it! We want to come back and have their birthday party here in the future! Definitely recommend if you have toddlers :)”

“We love Fun town! Our daughter has been going since she was a little over a year old. The facility is very tidy and has age appropriate toys and games. They host parties too! My daughter also really enjoys the summer camp! The whole staff is wonderful and professional and they care for your children as their own!!!”
“Our stay at this hotel was absolutely exceptional! The cleanliness was immediately noticeable, and the fantastic atmosphere made for a truly relaxing experience. The outdoor firepit was a huge hit, creating a perfect ambiance for evening relaxation. Our room was generously sized and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep.
The spacious common area was ideal for entertainment; we enjoyed watching golf and football, and even hosted a pizza party for the kids. The breakfast met our expectations, providing a satisfactory start to each day. However, the standout feature was the staff's friendliness and attentiveness, who were always ready to assist with a smile. We highly recommend this hotel!”
“I had my wedding reception there a year ago almost, it was a very nice place. The owner Iris is so nice,you get a lot hours for your money. Even though it rained on our wedding reception day we had a nice reception the owner even put bags of ice in the fridge for us.Very spacious kitchen with all you need and three restrooms for your guests use. Also, the owner owns other amenities if you would like to add them. I highly recommend them.”

“This is such a great place to see a movie, but I was so disappointed with the Sound for the Movie Wicked. It felt like they turned up the highs and down the lows.”
“I had my daughters 1 st birthday party here and it was amazing! Brandy and her staff were very responsive from the beginning in helping me plan the event. She meticulously laid out the details for the party and everything was executed as planned. Our event was supposed to be outside but the morning of it was raining. Brandy moved everything into their inside space without a hitch. Not to mention our party was during COVID-19 and they had all the safety measures in place to make sure my guests were safe and following CDC guidelines. The price was reasonable and I would totally use this space for another event.”
“My daughter had her birthday party at gym x-treme because the gym she goes to doesn’t do them anymore. My experience there was AMAZING, they went above and beyond to accommodate us in every way possible. The young ladies who worked with us ( very young ladies) were more mature than me lol. I would definitely recommend this facility for a birthday party 10/10 experience.”
“This was everything we were looking for and more. The staff were so friendly. We loved our photos session as well. It was a perfect day with our family. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to have a small ceremony with just family and close friends. I am so happy we found them. Thank you for making a special day so amazing.”
“This is such a wonderful place and hidden gem of a venue in the Short North. It's a perfectly sized smaller venue with lots of customizable space. They provided glassware, bartending services, food warming trays and much much more. The owners have excellent communication and will really allow you to set up any event in the best way possible and try their best to cater to your every need. One of our highlights was the fact that the end of the event, they were able to get left over food over to the local needy so nothing was wasted. Can't say enough about the space, lighting, ease of playing music (they have their own great lighting system and music system) and more! Book them and you won't be disappointed!!!”

“Stars Indoor Sports's location was convenient and easily accessible. It saved me time and effort, as I didn't have to travel long distances to engage in my favorite sports. With that they have awesome field for play.”
“Great shop, very convenient location, good variety of products, wonderful staff. I buy stuff here as often as possible.I never imagined how hugely helpful this place would be to me. They're open fairly early, and fairly late. I can't even count the number of times one of the kinder in my clan has barked about being out of toilet paper at 10:38pm (or thereabouts) and I've been annoyed to save the day because of the fine folks at Sandalwood Market.”
“Best place ever! If you're a small business entrepreneur in the food making business, come check out our shared commercial kitchen: storage spaces - dry goods, freezers, and refrigerators. Need a place to park your food truck or cart, we got you! - electric and non-electric spaces available w/ amenities!”

“Very nice location that has been through the remodel phase the chain is going through.
You can tell it is an older location, but even then, they did good revamping it.
The elevator is amazing. I know it is just a few floors, but some of these old sites get the remodel and the elevator is still running on gear made in the Eisenhower administration. My travel companion and I both commented how quick the elevator came when we hit the button. It is the little things like that that help a last minute emergency business trip feel less annoying.
The staff at this location is also above par. Not sure if luck, training, or just the area they pull from, but the folks here were the highlight of the trip. Extremely nice employees from check in to check out. Travelling this route in the future, this location will be on the short list due to that fact alone.
Rooms: All in all, ten USB ports in the room along with outlets. I did not get to use them all, but it is nice to know the rooms are outfitted for multiple devices so I do not have to bring as many brick chargers when doing shows and needing to charge multiple battery packs and POS units.
Window blinds were excellent for keeping out sun and streetlights for those needing "The Dark".
While it has been remodeled, they kept the carpet flooring. I prefer the had floors these days, but the carpet was fine. Clean as it could be.
Bathroom was well stocked, but the tube had drainage issues. it did drain, but much slower than I would of liked. Free foot bath basically.
Safety: Felt very safe arriving late at night. Parking was a little more open than the busier times of the week. Even if it was crowded, plenty of space up front and near the front on the sides.
Food and drinks: Always a wide selection for breakfast. This location has the new remodeled layout for the free breakfast. So you now get the sticky buns, the pancake makers, the multiple egg and meat options. If you are staying at an Express & Suites, always try to make sure they have the new layout.
The nice lady working the breakfast room was very attentive and was keeping things stocked as needed. I know my way around the Express breakfast offerings, but the proactive approach by staff is always appreciated.
Noteworthy details: Easy to find, right off the highway.
Do be CAREFUL of the driveway into the location!
This location has a very flat street with a really steep grade into the parking area. The transition is really radical.
TRAILERS/CAMPERS: you will want to exercise caution (think crossing a reverse railroad grade). Not sure if there is another entrance to alleviate that issue. There was at least one large Class C in there that did not seem to have an issue when I talked with the driver.”
“Not a bad facility. Located right off 270 and has multi purpose courts for basketball, volleyball and even futsal. Have done practices and tournaments there and know there is flexibility with scheduling court time. Smaller parking lot can get busy during peak hours.”
“I wish to thank the Jorgensen staff (especially Emma our wedding coordinator) for all their assistance in making my daughter's wedding magical! Emma was always available to promptly answer our questions and to provide valued advice both prior to the wedding and during the event. She was so responsive; every time I had a question I could count on her to respond that same day.
On the day of the wedding Emma was wonderful; professionally orchestrating the timeline and keeping us up to date, making sure everything went as planned. Honestly she couldn’t have done a better job at ensuring the event went smoothly. I realized early on that Emma was going to be our “go to” person and we could count on her!
Not having been at Jorgensen’s in the evening, I didn’t realize how beautiful the venue would be. There were so many beautiful spaces to congregate and the lighting made the space feel magical. The staff (i.e., servers and bartenders) were friendly and professional throughout the evening. The venders that Emma recommended (photographer – Chaz and DJ – Loren) were wonderful; it helped that they were familiar with the space and they did a terrific job at making the event special.
Thanks to everyone at Jorgensen Farms and a special shout out to Emma! I am so thankful she was our wedding coordinator!”
