Top Peterson Island Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

8/10 Good

"great place to stay"

Baymont by Wyndham Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean and the staff was very nice. The only issue I found was that there was no elevator to access the 2nd floor. Thankfully, the front desk had one room left on the first floor. At 70 years old I find it much easier to deal with my luggage when there is an elevator. (Carrying it up a flight of stairs would have been a fairly decent issue with our medical conditions (we both have bad back issues and can't carry heavy or awkward items very far)). The couple in front of us probably could have used a first floor room but considering they were younger than us, I guess they weren't offered the option. So when you book reservations, make sure to ask for a first floor room when you make your reservation, if you need one. Oh, and one other thing, the housekeeping staff doesn't clean your room everyday unless you request it. It was no big deal, we just needed to ask for more towels. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend."

DogHouse Columbus

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay! The room was very clean and spacious and had everything you could need/want in there. The staff seemed to be bothered by interacting with you as you approached the desk to ask questions or get your nightly cookie/stout pairing at the bar downstairs. Neon light above the bed in our room was not operating and appeared to have the wires taken out or removed by either a previous guest or a staff member who did not replace/fix the issue. Brewery bartenders/staff were also very unapproachable. Everyone seemed to either be annoyed to be there or felt like they were doing more work than the others on staff and made it known to the guests. Property was very nice but it seemed like staff was waiting for "somebody else" to take care of apparent normal tasks such as taking out an overflowing garbage can for 2 straight days or cleaning up/wiping down tables that were visibly dirty. I know these are picky things but noticeable things that prevent this review from being 5/5 stars. Would stay again and would recommend the property to others who are visiting. Easy to get to downtown Columbus and the town of Canal-Winchester is very close and inviting to hang around and grab dinner/drinks/etc."

Cherry Valley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the courtyard and gazebo on the water! I sat for a while in the rocking chair, watching the fountain, relaxing to sound of people having a good time. It was wonderful having a room with a courtyard view and immediate access!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Canal Winchester Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, the staff was very nice and the best was the room was super quiet. And free parking."

Spark by Hilton Columbus East Pickerington

10/10 Excellent

"all was good"

Relax Inn by OYO Columbus OH I 70

10/10 Excellent

"Neat, clean, well-run budget motel. Will return there again."

The Ledges Cabin - modern luxury on 35 acres, 8 person hot tub, wood fireplace.

10/10 Excellent

"It was a perfect peaceful retreat in a quiet, secluded area. It was relaxing and peaceful throughout the entire stay. The large windows made it feel like we were connected with nature."

Beautiful Villa - Pool, Hot tub, Sauna, sleeps 29!

10/10 Excellent

"This sprawling home was great for our occasion. Several families were able to stay all in one home, with several gathering places for small and large group activities."
