Top hotels in Northern Woods

Embassy Suites by Hilton Columbus
"Hotel was amazing and so was the breakfast buffet. However the staff at the desk acted as if it was an inconvenience to have to answer any questions and there were no other customers at the desk. So it was bit like they were even busy."

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

Sonesta Columbus Downtown
"Surprise destination fee and weird credit for the bar but you have to pay for it as part of the fee. Also parking garage situation was odd and kind of out of the way with construction and not being attached to the hotel, also didn’t have an elevator"
