Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus Downtown-Convention Center

The Junto

10/10 Excellent

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

8/10 Good

"Good location in the heart of Downtown Columbus. Staff was helpful and the area seemed safe. The room could have used some updating. The toilet made a high pitch noise about every 15 to 20 minutes which woke us up in the middle of the night. There was no hot water for late morning shower (10 am)."

Hampton Inn & Suites Columbus-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Columbus! Our room was spacious and clean, the hotel was well maintained, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient, with plenty of restaurants nearby. It was also an easy walk to the pickup and drop-off stop for our event shuttles. Complimentary breakfast was one of the main reasons we booked here, and we appreciated having it included. We’d happily stay again!"

Graduate by Hilton Columbus

8/10 Good

"Always great to stay at The Graduate. Love the location in the middle of Short North! Pretty disappointed in our room’s view of the HVAC system this time. Literally no other view than ductwork. The front staff was nice and valet’s work hard! Don’t count on the attached Homage bar for food. They have a breakfast but not very organized and not part of the hotel. The room was clean and pretty quiet. They are heavy doors so I am always pleasantly surprised we don’t hear more slamming."

Hyatt Place Columbus/OSU

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The staff was friendly, the bed was comfortable. We'll stay again for sure!"
