The facility is very clean and quaint with it's retro "flour mill" beginning. The location is quite nice as we sat along the river and took advantage of the beautiful river walk. I wish we had an opportunity to try the restaurant. The view was excellent and the menu looked good. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was clean. The amenities were nice, too, however, the quality of the breakfast was a little lacking. I received a text message the first morning of our stay that they were short on maid staff and we would only receive fresh towels but we never even received that during our entire stay. There was no daily maid service. Overall it was was a pleasant visit and met our needs.

If I could give City Mills more than 5 stars I would! Everything is phenomenal; the staff, the service, the room, and the atmosphere. It’s definitely somewhere we’ll stay again if we’re in the Columbus area.

As a vegetarian and pescatarian, I just wish there had been a few more breakfast options to choose from. Other than that, everything was wonderful! Parking was super easy, and every single staff member we met was so kind and genuinely helpful. The hotel was exactly what I was hoping for when I stumbled across it. The outdoor seating was beautiful — such a peaceful spot to sit and watch the water. If I’m ever back in Columbus, City Mill will definitely be my first choice!

Everything about my stay here was great. The staff was excellent. The property was beautiful. I loved the charm and history surrounding the building. Our room was clean, and the decor was very nice. Fluffy towels, premium toiletries, soft comfortable bedding, hot delicious breakfast were some of the things I greatly enjoyed. If I’m ever in the Columbus area again I will definitely be back.

Nice spot. Friendly staff. Only negative is a bit of a mildew smell and bar over looking the river isn’t happening. But accommodation wise, it was wonderful.
