    This is a beautiful property inside and out.

    The hotel was beautiful and very clean. All staff members were so incredibly sweet and friendly. The breakfast was also delicious!

    Great room and hotel. 5 stars if we had our rooms ready, but when we showed up at check in time, they said rooms were not ready, could not give us another room, and could not even give us a ball park time.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We arrived an hour after check in and were told that there was a "housekeeping crisis" and our room was not ready. The first person we spoke with was very curt and unapologetic. She could not offer us a timeline of when our room would be ready, but gave the name of neighboring hotel to check with. The second woman to come to the front desk obviously felt terrible about the situation and offered to give us a free upgrade in the event we booked a room there in the future.

    My family and I just had a wonderful overall experience from the front desk to the bar everyone was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean. Exceeded my expectations. Look forward to staying again

    Very nice, pet friendly property. The staff was extremely pleasant, the bed was comfy and everything was very clean and well maintained.

    Very cool old building with a lot of history.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms were clean, thoughtfully decorated and the staff was delightful. There is a wonderfully shaded river walk right outside their front door, wide enough for walkers, joggers and bikers to share. A must stay in Columbus.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    City Mills is a wonderful destination hotel! The riverwalk is great, shaded in many spots and active. Love the rooms and b’fast!!

    This place is legit. Right on the river. Great staff. Great breakfast.

    Our room was a king bed and there was a desk chair and a desk at the foot of the bed but that was the only place to sit. And when someone's sitting in that chair you can't walk around the bed. There's a very large entry vestibule into the room that seem to be totally wasted space. The end room wall mounted air conditioning unit was up high above the bed blows directly on you all night. I like to be cold when I sleep so it was fine for me but not so fine for my wife. Nice free coffee and espresso service in the morning. Overall very well maintained and clean and off the beaten path from downtown Columbus. Given the crampiness of the room I'm honestly not sure I would stay here again but you should at least give it a try. Free parking too.

    Paid for a water front room at checking I was told my room is not ready, but was told they have another that’s ready. Call the front desk to let them know what not satisfied with the room was placed on hold for five minutes after which I was told they don’t have any other room. Did not get room service, had to call for clean towels. Would not stay again.

    Clean, clean, clean!

    Excellent room with character. Quiet area that is convenient to Uptown Columbus.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The lady that checked us in was very helpful. The room had a ceiling fan which was bonus for us. The restaurant was amazing. The decor was awesome, with the old millstones as the focal point. The staff was amazing. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. If they have the key lime cheesecake on the menu, do yourself a solid and order it. Will definitely stay here again.

    Beautiful hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Updated yet historic. Very clean and quiet! River walk was nice and it’s right next to the property.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location is great, just out of the way enough but right on the Riverwalk, making it a short, easy, and beautiful walk to downtown, plus if your up for a longer walk you can hit up local museums all from the Riverwalk. And if you would rather drive the parking is great and there is plenty of it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great place, right on the river-walk. Breakfast was delicious and the coffee was good :-). Love the old mill re-worked into what is hopefully a very successful business.

    breakfast was underwhelming
