Top hotels in University District
The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center
No soap, not enough towels and no water in the room. Asked the front desk guy about the water and he could only shrug so I bought 2 waters from the overpriced gift shop. 1.5/5 (relative to the price)

Wyndham Columbus
The air conditioning will definitely keep you cool. Shower curtain rail could use a replacement. Kept sliding in the middle allowing water to splash out. Nothing a towel or two wouldn't dry up.
