Top South Side Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean room and quiet stay. Will stay here again!"

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"This room was super cool. It was a corner room, so as you walk in, you walk down a short hall and turn a corner to see the bed in it's own nook. There was a sofa bed as well, we didn't need it but thought that was pretty cool. Very nice bathroom. LOVED the shower. There was a fridge, LOTS of desk space and a coffee machine. NO microwave which was pretty sad. We ate at the restaurant in the lobby (which was EXCELLENT - asparagus soup, w prawns and grits...oh my gawd, it was so delicious) and we didn't save any leftovers due to not being able to heat them up. And then same for the second night, we ate down the street and couldn't eat our pasta leftovers when we came back from a late concert so we ended up leaving behind two expensive meals. The bed, and linens were VERY comfortable and soft. We slept great. Pillows tho... kinda hard. Not a fan. The staff were very friendly upon arrival. I would say the only disappointment in this hotel was that there was a lot of construction going on during our stay. The driveway/valet entrance/dropoff area was mostly blocked off, so rideshare would not drive up and we had to be dropped off and picked up on the street. We were on the 9th floor, but our view was completely obstructed by scaffolding and insulation hanging in front of our window, so that was a little sad as we wanted to look out at the buildings around us. We were going to a concert at the Shoe, and it wasn't a bad ride back and forth."
