The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square
There was no maid service the three days that we stayed at the Plaza. We had to go and ask for fresh washcloths and towels from the front desk clerk. We put the door sign for maid service out on Friday and Saturday but no one came to clean the room.

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus Downtown-Convention Center
Just not real clean from lobby to the rooms and not sure what the "+" in Red Roof Inn + stands for because this place fell really short

Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel
We stayed in a nicely appointed Jr suite. Room was clean and comfortable and spacious for our weekend stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Starbucks in the building was a bonus! Only constructive criticism would be, to charge for parking & WiFi on top of suite rate is excessive.

Hotel LeVeque, Autograph Collection
Lovely hotel, clean, comfy, conveniently located and it has a restaurant in the building. There is also a Starbucks located in the lobby. It is near a riverside park, the State Capitol building. Next year will be its centennial celebration!!! The staff are most helpful and professional.

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Downtown
Could use some updating in the room. But, it served its purpose for an overnight stay.
