Waverly Vacations from $516

Very nice Decor. Quaint atmosphere. Close to the Short North shops and restaurants.

Casa on High is high on “vibe” and “character”, but dismally low on practicality. Owners would benefit from less attention to décor and more to function. This accommodation is best suited for young people traveling with backpacks or duffle bags that can be thrown on the floor, as there are no dressers, tables etc on which to put luggage, and the large mirrored closet that is shown in the Expedia listing in one of the bedrooms is LOCKED…when I questioned it, I was informed it is only there for the cleaner’s storage (fine, provide some hooks/shelves instead, though). The other bedroom had an unlocked closet, but it was taken up by stored items (including, oddly, several cases of beer). I was able to use half the large bed for staging my suitcase, but if sharing a bed that would not work. I nabbed an over-the-door hook from the other bedroom for hanging some clothes, so that helped a little. Unless the owners add some sort of functional luggage/clothing arrangement, people not amenable to dealing with open suitcases on the floor would probably not be happy here. Neither bedroom had any reading lamps. Water pressure minimal at times. Plus there were safety concerns: my partner hit his shoulder on a sharp corner of the strangely placed metal mailbox at the bottom of the stairs; one b/r had loose sockets. Stairway was musty/dingy/needed paint. Artsy, walkable neighborhood redeemed the problems to a degree, but very noisy with cars/Harleys cruising at night. Parking was fine.

Always great to have myself and my colleagues stay here when we travel to Ohio for work events and meetings. Staff is great and helpful. Thank you

Great location. Walking distance from a lot of restaurants and activities.

Overall, our stay was decent, primarily because of the friendly staff and convenient location. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and helpful, and the hotel was situated in a good area with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. That said, the property could use some maintenance and updates. The hotel had a noticeable musty smell throughout our stay. In our room, the towel holder on the back of the bathroom door was broken, and the shower was frustrating to use because the valve appeared to be malfunctioning, resulting in very low water pressure. A complimentary breakfast was available, but the selection was extremely basic with limited options compared to what many hotels currently offer. We ended up going to Tim Horton's.
