Nice lobby. Friendly staff. The issues began when we returned from dinner on the 2nd night and the speakers in the hallway were making a loud static noise. I went to the front desk and asked if it was some type of alarm and they said the power was being worked on but that if there was an emergency, these were the speakers they would be attempting to make announcements on. ?? We return to our room to find that half the lights in our room weren't working (including in the bathroom and hallway outside the bathroom), neither was the tv. And the toilet wouldn't flush and had no water in it. I called guest services but no on answered (this happened 2 or 3 times) I went back down the stairs from the 5th floor to the desk and they said they would send up "an engineer". 30 minutes or so later a man w/no tools shows up, tinkers in the dark bathroom and says he has to go downstairs. Another 30 minutes later he comes back, we hear water running and a "oh no" and he rushes from the room later returning and proclaiming that it is fixed. We use a flashlight to check and the bathroom floor is flooded. I again call guest services who send up someone from housekeeping who just wipes up the water with the towels from the floor. This is about when all of the power went out of our room. Pitch dark. We go back downstairs (it's around 11p.m. but we don't dare go to bed). No one seems to know what is going on but eventually the power did return. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r580303 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356716 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356716 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356711 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356711 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356718 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356718 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356713 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356713 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356712 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356712 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356717 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356717 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356715 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356715 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356714 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Crowne_Plaza_Hotel_Columbus-Downtown/r356714
