The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

"Great parking access to hotel, very close to shows- can walk to many, Stayed solo & will again!"

Comfort Suites Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"14"

Holmes Suites Inn Columbus Pataskala - I-70 East

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a great choice. The staff were kind, the room was clean, the price was decent, and the location was quiet. I stayed here for two nights and had no issues whatsoever!"

Tru By Hilton Columbus East Broad

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the property was very cleaned and well maintained. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The complimentary breakfast was a nice gesture, yet the food was underwhelming. The area was close enough to local restaurants so food wasn't that much of an issue. Beyond the breakfast, I'd stay there again."

Cherry Valley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff was friendly."

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"nice restaurant and bar, but poorly trained staff on making espresso/coffee drinks. our 3 lattes we purchased were filled only half full a bit irritating to pay for"

DogHouse Columbus

8/10 Good

"This hotel was such a cool idea! The check-in beer and evening cookie and stout was awesome! The rooms and hotel were so cool and had awesome decorations. The beds were comfy. The only thing is our room wasn’t very clean unfortunately. The floor was dirty, like it wasn’t swept prior to us coming in and there was trash on the floor in the bathroom. Other than that we had a nice stay. We would stay there again if coming through town."

10/10 Excellent
