Top Ohio History Center Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Columbus Expo Center

8/10 Good

"The property was virtually empty the night we stayed there. It is near the Ohio State Fairgrounds. Parking was just outside the front door, which has a covered entry for inclement weather. The front door is automated but had real issues in opening. Breakfast was tasty and served hot. The room was clean and spacious. The nearest food was McDonald's, but we found a good place downtown for our evening meal. The property is adjacent to two entries to the freeway system."

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

10/10 Excellent

"Elegant and historical hotel"

Hyatt House Columbus OSU / Short North

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location and very clean"

Hilton Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"Hotel is very nice and clean, this is the second time we have stayed here. Convenient for walking to Nationwide arena for a hockey game. Rooftop bar is amazing but a little expensive, which is to be expected. Would have given 5 stars but a couple small things bothered us while we stayed here. Our room had an odd wood fire smoke smell that started around 3:30pm that lasted till the middle of the night. I did check with the front desk to make sure nothing was wrong and was told it was “because of the rooftop bar starting up their grills and the smell travels through the vents”?! Other than that, the parking garage was very convenient but also pricy at $43 per day. Overall not a bad experience."

Holiday Inn Express Columbus - Ohio Expo Center by IHG

"The hotel staff up front was SOO nice, i booked this hotel not even 20 minutes before arriving because every other hotel in the area was booked and he upgraded our room, i forgot what his name was but he was so helpful! hotel was so clean and nice, will definitely stay here if we come back <3333"

The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The lower bed was great to sit on and sleep on---very comfortable!! Although I did not have the opportunity to be acquainted with the roommates, nonetheless, they were both courteous and respectful. The room was slightly chilly---certainly Autumnal---the room was very comfortable and clean, and the room was not stuffy at all. A very restful experience. Breakfast was delicious, with a Bagel and Weetabix frosted cereal and lovely cold Peach Punch. It really filled the spot!! I enjoyed watching the colour TV with remote capabilities. The choice of Disney+ offerings was outstanding. The sofa was very comfortable in the main living room, and the plenty of electrical outlets helped me immensely with re-charging my flips. In essence, it was a very good stay with plenty of positive attributes to the property..."
