Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbus OSU

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and excellent breakfast every morning!"

The Junto

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved our stay at the Junto. There were a lot of things to do around the hotel, and some great food options. The hotel was immaculate and our room was great. The lobby was a little busy, but I assume we were close to a college, because there were at a lot of students at the cafe, but it wasn’t overcrowded at all. Loved the vibe. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in town."

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

10/10 Excellent

"The property was a perfect location to explore downtown Columbus or take rideshare to areas not in walking distance. The staff was very friendly and professional. My room was clean and comfortable. I spent a week at the property visiting for the iPride World Series, and would definitely stay again when in Columbus."
