Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast and dinner accommodations during our stay was most helpful as we attended all day events in the convention center attached. This way after a long day of events we did not have to travel far for dinner and started a day with a nice breakfast. Highly recommend staying here. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly."

The Westin Great Southern Columbus

8/10 Good

"This was a nice hotel, the lobby is beautiful and the history was fascinating. We liked the idea of staying where presidents stayed. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The downside was the room we were in faced an extremely noisy street and it was loud all night. The bathroom shower was extremely tight if you are 6 ft tall or a large person. The last downside is the parking. There is a lot next door for Westin guests if you use valet parking it is $40.00 a night. The self parking option was not working every time we tried the website was not working so we paid the extra money for valet even though we self parked"

Columbus Airport Marriott

8/10 Good

"The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in with very clean sheets. The room itself was very clean however, there was some peeling paint on the ceiling, as well as some strange black marks at the top of the mirror in the bathroom. At the time we visited the air-conditioning was out in the lobby, but was not affecting the rooms. Front desk staff were very, very helpful. Our only complaint was, they only gave us two large towels and one washcloth for two people. We didn’t notice until the morning of checkout when we went to shower, but didn’t wanna bother the staff because we were sure they were very busy. My only recommendation would be to add more of those to the room rooms."
