“We decided to take a few days off work and check into a hotel for the husbands birthday and when we arrived Sonya who was checking us in ask what brought us in and we told her work as we were passing through and it was my husbands birthday and just wanted to relax. As we got to our room and settled we got a knock on the door and Sonya had brought up a piece of chocolate cake and a hand written birthday card for my husband. She absolutely went above and beyond. We definitely were not expecting anything. The hotel it self is gorgeous the restaurant was so nice and everyone was absolutely amazing we were always greeted as we went in or out! Definitely will be staying again!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue! From the very beginning, the entire process was so easy and stress free. Since we were planning our wedding from out of state, we were worried it might be difficult, but the team made everything incredibly simple for us.
A special thank you for making the experience so smooth not only for us, but also for our in-laws. Your communication, organization, and willingness to help every step of the way gave us so much peace of mind.
The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations. It created the perfect setting for one of the most important days of our lives, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning everything was.
Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special. We will always be grateful and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!
Shout out to John and all his team for making everything possible!”
“My client and I hosted a summer business networking event, The Dinner Party, at Vibe Venue. The Vibe Venue team was above and beyond accommodating, had plenty of unique amenities to support bringing our vision to life. They are such a creative space as a blank slate micro event center in which you can bring almost anything to life in! Their team was very responsive, wonderful to communicate with, and had great budget friendly options. Thank you Vibe Venue for everything!”
“Edit: They've moved to Campus since my first review. Different but positive vibes with a more professional, adult-focused space and lounge feeling, still lots of systems, professional and helpful service getting set up, and several areas with larger couches and big screens. The new bar and food options are great.
Original: Great facility, TONS of systems (4 rows of 14 plus the Arena?) everything is very clean and high quality. Staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I showed up randomly during the middle of a busy tournament and they found me a spot and took time to help get set up with an xbox controller. Thanks guys!”
“Thank you Edison Venues for hosting our daughter's high school graduation party. Your team was so helpful with the planning effort before, during and after the event. All of our guests had a great time and continue to give us compliments about the venue we chose for our daughter. We will be back for sure!!”
“We truly had the best night of our lives. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. All of the ladies who work there are wonderful and make everything run smoothly. We can’t thank them enough for giving us the best wedding we could’ve asked for”
“01/31/2026 - First time visiting the Fawcett Event Center with one of my closest friends for an entertaining evening with Annette Gordon-Reed. Annette Gordon-Reed provided her perspective on the Northwest Ordinance as America celebrates is 250th birthday and her brilliantly delivered perspective was well received.Thank you. The event was held in the Conference Theater which is a nice, modern, and comfortable auditorium that seats about 500 guests. The seats are tiered and it has a nice size stage with good surround sound systems. Parking pass required to park at the Fawcett Event Center.”
“Only can say good things about this venue. The staff went above and beyond during the wedding to make sure it was set up and running correctly. Melissa, the manager, went above and beyond the entire time working with her. My now husband and I are part of the LGBTQ community and Melissa provided advice that made us feel supported. Melissa made sure that all details were planned and was easy to communicate with and responsive. Some venues are not inclusive or say they are but do not reflect that well but this venue reflects being an ally for the community. They are determined to send the message of what marriage is about which is LOVE. This is definitely a venue we will use in the future for other events. We are forever grateful for everyone at the venue.”
“Building was clean and temperate. Operations followed well. Traffic patterns, while clearly marked, were a bit tedious especially late at night and GPS does not line up with them. Restrooms were not great though. Faucets, sinks and soap pumps are all falling off the wall in the building the home and garden show was in, any of the vendors there probably can fix it for them...”
“I have taken art classes here for the last 4 years. The instructors are fantastic, a great balance of teaching and independent work time. I always learn something new.
Often times they have events in the gallery upstairs that draw a good size crowd for each event. They have strong community support!”
“I hosted a large business event and Lauren, Jennah and the entire staff exceeded expectations. I host 4 large scale events per year and have done so for over 6 years and the staff truly makes the difference! They were very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this beautiful space!”
“Edgar Allen Poe was Awesome and eerie! Would have loved to have done it in the evening but we were late getting tickets and they were sold out. Very fun experience”
“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!”

“Theaters and bathrooms are always clean. They let me buy tickets a bit after the movie starts to avoid sitting through all the previews. Food and drink is exorbitantly priced like any other theater. I appreciate its smaller size and accessible parking as well as matinee pricing.”
“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.”
“I was very happy with my experience at Culture. We needed an event venue for our wedding reception that allowed us to bring our own food and was within our budget. We got married at American Christian Ministries at The Continent and Culture is right across the walkway. The owner was amazing. We provided all of the items for the catering (dishes etc) he asked our colors and that was it. On the day of the event the room was decorated beautifully. There was a cash bar by our choice. The only things I would say were not good was there was no AC or at least it felt like there was none but there were large fans. For music they had an Alexa type of device but when the internet went out it did not work. Also no sound system. We had brought our own bluetooth speaker and microphone so everything worked out fine.
He was great at communicating and we did get our deposit back. If you are looking for a nice affordable event space I definitely recommend Culture.”
“We had a magical experience. A very simple elegant ceremony for two people who decided to elope! She took a ton of photos for us on our cell phone and her entire building is gorgeous. Each room is beautiful! Highly recommend!”
“I swear the only complaint I have is the beds are hard to sleep on but that's just my preference. The grounds are beautiful and well patrolled. The room was very clean and nice looking. Feels like it's own little town. The pub was ok nothing special food wise. I paid 181 plus 50 deposit. Which you get the deposit back.”
“This is a nice relaxed venue with everything you need. I was just there for a small wedding/ reception. Great outdoor spaces with patio, fire pit, playground for the kids and more. Plenty of parking and close to Easton if you have out of town guests.”
“My experience with West Jefferson Denistry so far has been wonderful. No one loves to visit the dentist however they made the experience very comfortable. I now have a treatment plan and know all the costs up front. My dentist was very honest with me and let me know what can be done and what is not in the cards. Highly recommend. Thanks. Linda Saddler.”
“This is gonna be a great weekend, as my daughter gets married here this weekend.
Many years ago when she was in Elementary, we used to come here with her school for over night trips.
To come back here and see her get married is gonna be so awesome”

“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.”
“It’s clean, kids don’t sit and wait their turn they have different things they do so no one is waiting. They have a nice place to watch or wait for kids. They also have snacks and drinks you can purchase.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Nice hotel but the toilet keeper running all weekend. Sounded like someone wes flushing it every 3 minutes. No one their to fix it. Also room did not have any USB ports”

“If you're looking for a stay that balances comfort, convenience, and a few pleasant surprises, this Holiday Inn Express delivers. From the moment I checked in, the staff set the tone with friendly, helpful service that made the process smooth and welcoming.
The rooms? Much larger than expected—clean, well-appointed, and genuinely comfortable. It’s the kind of space that makes you pause and say, “Wait, this is mine?” after opening the door. The overall facility is well-maintained, with thoughtful touches throughout.
The breakfast area is nicely arranged, making the morning rush feel more like a calm routine than a cafeteria scramble. The indoor pool looks inviting, and while I didn’t take a dip, it’s clearly a perk for families or anyone needing a relaxing splash. The workout facility is stocked with solid equipment—no dusty treadmills or forgotten dumbbells here.
Whether you're passing through or staying a few nights, this spot hits the mark for a reliable, comfortable stay with a few standout features. Bonus points for exceeding expectations on room size and service.”

“Holiday Inn Express, Crosswoods – Worthington, OH
55 Hutchinson Ave, Columbus
During seasonal family visits in Worthington, Ohio I’ve found the Crosswoods campus a good source of lodging options. There’s a Sheraton, a Wyndham, a Hyatt Place, and the Holiday Inn Express – Worthington. I booked a room for the Holiday Inn Express for the winter holidays. It’s close to a Bob Evans family restaurant, a cash-only dive bar (the Ruckmoor), a movie theater, a Subway, and assorted restaurants, all within walking distance.
The Holiday Inn Express has been a consistently good choice for me. This time I paid for the one night with 16,000 IHG points, and this included breakfast.
My room was ready early, and I was able to check in around noon. The front desk acknowledged my IHG status and confirmed that with that status my Wi-Fi access was complementary. I found the room clean and comfortable. There was an effective blackout curtain, the bathroom electric outlet included a night-light, and the hotel had evolved, eliminating single-use plastics while retaining hand washcloths.
Couldn’t start the shower without getting wet with cold water, but the hot water came in quickly. Front desk staff members were polite, helpful, and easy to understand. I had an early flight, so I missed breakfast, but in the past I’ve found the assortment of continental offerings sufficient for a decent meal.”
“Beautiful venue with efficient, polite staff. Their busiest season is ~April-October and had a wonderful time at my cousin's wedding here🤟🏼🥳”
