Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

8/10 Good

"Room was very nice. Seemed very clean. Staff was very nice as well. Did not like the resort fee of nearly $42. Not sure why its considered a resort. Thought room was over priced for not having breakfast included or a 24 hr coffee station. Room did not have any type of sitting/lounge chair except for a desk chair. No luggage caddy to prop up your luggage. 1 of the 2 hotel elevators was not working. When I pay a premium price for a premium room I expect certain amenities. Although I was very happy with the room itself I most likely won't be staying here again because it wasnt worth the attached price. I booked with a third party company which was slightly cheaper than booking direct."

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We've been coming to Columbus a few times a year for the last 6 years and this was my first stay the Hilton. Wish I stayed here sooner! Great hotel. Very clean, super comfortable bed, loved the market & restaurants in the hotel, and enjoyed being able to work out without leaving the property."

Comfort Suites Columbus Airport

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and clean . Temp in room Was good . Bed was comfortable , was somewhat quiet . Floor above was making loud noises , airplanes flying over was loud . Pool was small but nice , gym was musty smelling but decent food wise was more on the lines of continental breakfast rather than a buffet , eggs were cold oj had no flavor to it . Most staff were super nice . Check in was quick check out was quick . Was a tad bit disappointed with booking far in advance an getting a darn good price they declined from offering me even one point reward with thr comment stated because I receive such a good deal on room price we can’t honor any point system for u for future stays with choice hotels . But I will say full price is def not worth it for that place . I don’t think I would choose to be a return guest there mainly cause I’m not a fan of planes flying over , which was my fault in booking. I think I spent more of my time worrying safety than resting . But on thr other note it seemed like a safe location . Very convenient to many destinations around there . All an all I would say a good rating . Was surprised though for how big it was there was only one elevator running an it was really slow ."

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

8/10 Good

"I hate booking through Expedia because it’s always an issue. Hotel was nice overall. But I reserved for a double bed only to get there and be told they didn’t have any double bed rooms available . It was after midnight, so I did t have much of a choice left. Hotel staff did accommodate my daughter with a roll away bed that was clean and comfy so it worked out. Room was clean , breakfast was good. I would stay here again"
