Top University District Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Columbus North- Worthington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice classic style hotel but needs a facelift."

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

8/10 Good

"We arrived on Friday and the water was turned off. The repairs were done but the water was not working. When we left the property at 6 pm it still was not working. When we returned later it was on. Our room was never cleaned on Saturday. We returned to the hotel at 4pm and it was not done. We were ok with towels so we did not call the front desk to report that our room was not cleaned."
