Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus Downtown-Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Great location for the price! Clean room. Limited amenities though. Need a continental breakfast at least."

Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was seemed to have gone through a recent renovation as interior was new with classic touch. Main room was clean well maintained. Bathroom clean and well maintained with the exception of the shower as the grout and overall stall needed a more professional approach to the finishes. Hotel pool and spa utilized. The second morning went to spa it was over chlorinated as it immediately removed the color from my suit and my spouses."

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"This is my 3rd time staying here! Each stay has been great for our concerts at nationwide arena right outside. Hotel is clean, updated, staff is helpful, & the bar/restaurant is wonderful! However, the last time we stayed recently, I booked the Deluxe king bed suite & was told at check in that I had to settle for 2 queen beds because they ran out of king beds. I have always raved about this hotel but that was a a bit disappointing. Overall, great place to stay if you are going to an event nearby."

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Just what I needed! Hotel breakfast was solid. Glad valet was running even with street construction. Staff was nice too"

Le Méridien Columbus, The Joseph

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and area"

Schwartz Castle German Village

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very unique place to stay, with lots of interesting history and lore. It was spacious, stocked with everything you could want for cooking and entertainment, was well maintained, and in a great location. The host was always quick to respond to inquires, and was very helpful and accommodating for our group. This place helped make our trip one to remember. 10/10 would recommend"
