Top Short North Hotel Reviews

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"The bartender was the best around!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean. Even a smoking room was ok. Finding, and it could be found, entrances “around back”was like a maze. Signage inside could be much more helpful in finding way around. The stairway to second floor was marked as storage and locked. But, from second floor you could see the stairs. Strange."

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

8/10 Good

"I hate booking through Expedia because it’s always an issue. Hotel was nice overall. But I reserved for a double bed only to get there and be told they didn’t have any double bed rooms available . It was after midnight, so I did t have much of a choice left. Hotel staff did accommodate my daughter with a roll away bed that was clean and comfy so it worked out. Room was clean , breakfast was good. I would stay here again"
