Top Southern Theater Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to everything in town"

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and the furnishings unblemished. The facility itself is beautifully kept and stylishly decorated. The location is superb, whether you are attending a conference, a sports event, or just visiting. At any price, valet parking and an integral, secure indoor garage is a huge plus in that neighborhood. Do not miss a chance to have breakfast at the hotel either -- prices are decent for the area -- as we found the food and the service to be excellent."

Hotel LeVeque, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful Especially one young lady with an accent Went out of her way to explain bill and charges"

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Super cool historic building. rooms are clean and spacious. My only gripe was that the bathroom light was on a motion sensor. That's fine during the day, but if you wake up at the middle of the night it's VERY unpleasant to have no option but to be blinded by the light. Anyway, I'd stay here again. Also the elevators are insanely fast. So fast, that I thought it prudent to note in the review."

Holiday Inn Express Columbus Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"This is a great budget hotel located near downtown if you're looking for a convenient location. It is a low-frills hotel but gets the job done for the price. The free breakfast is good and the rooms are large. From a cleanliness perspective it is clean, especially considering it is probably on the older side. There are still little things that annoy me that prevent me from giving it a 5-star, such as the lack of a coffee maker in the room and my not being able to lift up the faucet stopper in my room causing a near flooding of the bathroom sink. Outside of that, no specific complaints!"

The Westin Great Southern Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel! It's just as grand in real life as it looks in the photos, and the friendliness of the staff matches. Everyone was so kind and warm, from the valet to the bellhop the the front desk. The breakfast was delicious and filling and despite the weather dropping the temperature into the 30s, my room was cozy and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay very much, thank you!"

German Village Inn Columbus

8/10 Good

"definitely dated little motel but friendly enough staff and the heater worked great! bed was comfy and it suited our needs perfectly. great coffee/brunch at Emmet’s down the street, walkable:)"

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"Super convenient and walkable to beautiful downtown Columbus"
