I looked into this already. The problem is that 1) several of the Columbus co-working spaces are temporarily or permanently closed due to COVID and 2) usually their memberships do not include access to offices. They reserve private offices for the high-end plans ($500+/mo). And often that's only for a fixed office in one location, not office privileges nationwide. While you can rent meeting rooms by the hour, it's usually $20+/hr for a meeting room. Even at the co-working and flex-work places, there doesn't seem to be any product for somebody to short-term (1 day) rent a private office. With the memberships you can hang out in their business lounge or have a "flex desk", which is hardly more private or less noisy than a cafe; the fact that you can stay there all day seems to be the only advantage over Panera.
