Top South Side Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel room was clean lots of amenities. Pool and hot tub were clean and great. Bed was super comfy . Breakfast and kickback lots of different options . easy to get to and lots in the area to see and do . Staff were friendly and great hospitality"

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were personable and helpful, real hospitality. The hotel grounds and interior is well maintained and clean. They provide the 5:30p kick back, that is a nice money saver for dinner if you are on a budget. One of the things I notice, being in professional settings for quality, is whether the establishment has clean vents. This tells me that the cleaning process goes from top to bottom. They have very clean vents ;) 10/10 from me."
