Top hotels in Northern Woods

Embassy Suites by Hilton Columbus
"If you enjoy a warm stuffy room with poor water pressure and almost no hot water, this is the place for you. The solution for the horrible ac was a box fan. The front desk staff was no help and just brushed off the ac not working like it’s a common thing."

Wyndham Columbus
"Kitchen was down, therefore breakfast was not available. 2 of the 3 elevators are down for a building that has 6 floors. The best thing this place could do is remove all carpet and take care 9f the lawn, the lawn is unsightly."
