An Unexpected Happy Find

I happen to find you by accident. I love the history and how you updated the old Mill into a Hotel. It was close enough to the Columbus Convention Center I did not have but about 15 minutes to ride. The plus was it was not overly crowded , had a walking trail buy the river and a nice resturant so everything was there when I parked … comfy bed .. shower head was abit different :) but I travel allloootttt.. this was a nice find for the price and I got the basic room due to short stay.

This is an old grist mill. I thought we were to have an outside balcony,however I had chosen water view. It is a very interesting destination, in town and on the river, a lady named Patty was busy taking care of breakfast and took the time to show us a beautiful view of the River.
