Top Southern Theater Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Booked the king suite for a vacation. Home2suites was a great place to stay, it was nice having a full suite. And kitchenette is convenient. The complimentary breakfast hit the spot. Might want to use smaller tongs for the egg/meat area though. Staff were attentive. Will definitely put Home2suites on potential hotel for future trips"

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus Downtown-Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Room was okay for the most part. Tub and floor was a bit dirty in the corners, but I kind of expected it. Staff was helpful with any questions I needed and were very kind to us during our stay. If I ever go up that way for another con, I’d probably stay there."

Holiday Inn Express Columbus Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in downtown and convenient to many restaurants and businesses. It is also within walking distance to a number of attractions. It has its own restaurant where we enjoyed a good, reasonably priced breakfast and drinks in the evening. The Woodbury restaurant next door was excellent and offered a second dining option within steps. The hotel has a large, easily accessible parking lot for a small fee. The large room was clean and very quiet at night, and the bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. The bathroom was a bit small but had plenty of towels and amenities. The only negative was that we used the service elevator throughout the day because the other elevators did not seem to be running."

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Small hotel close to everything. Booking with Expedia ruined the experience because they didn’t bother to complete the booking on their end despite taking the money sending me confirmation and my itinerary. Just couldn’t be bothered to inform the hotel. Then spent hours on hold with multiple “customer support” and finally they made the reservation. Problem should have never existed in the first place and the. Should have been resolved in minutes… not hours."

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location , very nice rooms , breakfast was great !"

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"The only parking is valet. Currently there is a lot of road construction in front of the hotel making it difficult to navigate finding the entrance. The room we were in was split level with a couple of stairs going down to the bed and up to the bathroom. Interiors lobby and breakfast area has cool architecture."

The Westin Great Southern Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Superb interior :)"

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Restaurant wasn’t opened, and would serve any vegetarian options due to short staff. Other than that great stay and front desk staff was amazing!"
