"This condo is in the heart of the city but is pretty quiet and felt pretty safe. The owner did keep it well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. The bed and the couch were comfortable too. We were attending a convention and took the easy walk there and back every day (multiple times on a couple of days). It was about a 10 to 15 minute walk on level ground with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars along the way."

Top Short North Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Worthington

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms"

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

8/10 Good

"We arrived on Friday and the water was turned off. The repairs were done but the water was not working. When we left the property at 6 pm it still was not working. When we returned later it was on. Our room was never cleaned on Saturday. We returned to the hotel at 4pm and it was not done. We were ok with towels so we did not call the front desk to report that our room was not cleaned."

Jungle House Studio Suites – Short North & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Fantastic restaurants and coffee shops close by. Beautiful city park in walking distance. Inside was cozy. While there was a laptop table, a bistro table and chair would have been perfect. Very impressed overall."
