Top Crane Island Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbus East Broad

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to complain about. Super clean and beautiful hotel, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I love Hilton."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room and very spacious bathroom"

Hilton Garden Inn Columbus Airport

8/10 Good

"The pool was closed when we were there and despite arriving at 2:00pm, waiting until 6:00 to check in (actual check in time was 4:00 but there was a long line so we waited), at 6:30pm our room still was not ready."

DogHouse Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"There are so many things to rave about staying at the Doghouse. The room was really nice and the amenities were excellent, including comfy robes, Elvis Juice scented soaps and such, tooth and shaving care without having to ask, and a fridge stocked with beer and drinks. Got the Top Dog package, so no charge for those and took what wasn’t drank home. Also enjoyed dinner, dessert, and beer flights. Only complaints were the hotel reception upon arrival was lackluster and didn’t give me my stout and cookie. Other staff more than made up for that, though, and I look forward to doing it again."

Baymont by Wyndham Lancaster

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great. Hotel is a bit dated but kept clean. The rooms were clean and sufficient."
