Top South Side Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

8/10 Good

"The room itself was clean and I had no worries or doubts. The door to our room was difficult to open and close and it had a gap at the top of the door. It wasn’t a big issue. Overall for what we paid it was worth the money. If it was anymore I would have been annoyed."

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and hotel was in a safe area, so it was perfect for me as a solo traveler. The place didn’t have breakfast, but luckily there’s a Waffle House right beside it so you could door dash or pick up food from there. Overall, my stay here was exceptional and the price was very affordable!"
