Hyatt House Columbus OSU / Short North

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and modern design. Well taken care of and a great location next to the river. Bike and walking paths, easy to walk to restaurants, parks, and more. Great host at the bar!! Mark I think his name was. I would definitely stay there again."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place was fantastic! The room was spacious, the breakfast bar was next-level, and there was plenty of space for sitting inside or outside. There was even a little kids’ play area. We saw a few dogs / it’s pet-friendly. Very clean, safe, quiet and proximal to the Capitol. Terrific! Great restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance. See: Pierogi Mountain and Brioso! We would definitely stay again!"

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"The courtyard by Marriott is located in downtown Columbus. The location is within walking distance to a lot. The convention center is a 5 min walk, German village is about a 20 min walk and the real downtown is about a 15 min walk in the other direction. This was the main reason for choosing this hotel. The room was clean, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We didn’t hear too much noise from other guests or outside even though we were on the first level. We did not take advantage of the pool or hot tub but they were available. We did however take advantage of the breakfast you could order. It wasng fine dining by any means but the food was good. Not sure if I would stay here again for a long trip only because I found that not having a convenience store or grocery store within walking distance to be a bit of a hassle. But if we’re staying for just a couple of nights it would be perfect"
