Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"It was not clear to me why there was going to be a $75 charge on my card, in addition to the cost of the room. The staffer at the front desk told me about this charge — which would later be refunded — but couldn’t really explain to my satisfaction what it was for. Other than that, the room was beautiful, quiet and clean and the mattresses were nice and firm. Thank you!"
