Top Rainbow Lake Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Columbus/Worthington

8/10 Good

"We were on the third floor. There was a condensing unit on a second floor canopy roof that was loud and cycled on and off every 30 seconds. That made it difficult to get a good sleep."

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay at the Drury Inn and I am just as pleased this stay as I was with the first one back in 2023. We looked at various 400$+ hotels with "views" and a boutique vibe. I have to be honest, this isn't a boutique Instagram photo cutesy hotel. What it IS though is a clean, modern, serviceable hotel with a safe large parking lot. It's located centrally to food, entertainment, and highway access. The staff are some of the friendliest and accommodating people I've encountered in a hotel stay. The entire hotel (including parking lot, landscaping, lobby, fitness center, pool, shared gathering spaces and rooms) were clean and well cared for. The beds were made with fresh clean smelling linens and the cleaning staff we heard down the hall the next day on our departure sounded like they were having fun while they worked. The breakfast was not just passable, it was GOOD. I am so glad we checked it out before we went somewhere else and paid for a lesser quality diner breakfast. I felt genuinely welcomed, safe, and had a great nights rest. I cannot see us utilizing another hotel in the Cbus area when we come back into town. It's the Drury Inn for us!"
