Short North

"This condo is in the heart of the city but is pretty quiet and felt pretty safe. The owner did keep it well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. The bed and the couch were comfortable too. We were attending a convention and took the easy walk there and back every day (multiple times on a couple of days). It was about a 10 to 15 minute walk on level ground with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars along the way."

Top Short North Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbus OSU

8/10 Good

"This is the kind of room you stay at when you want something that's good enough for a short stay to see your kid off to college or for a local event but don't want to shell out a ton because you won't be in the room much The kind of place a baseball team would stay at because there's a pool and free breakfast (and when there, one or two teams did). Safe. Conveniently located. A little outdated. Hit or miss housekeeping (they skipped us one day). First world problems like super low toilets and difficult pillows. I wouldn't rule out another stay here. But I'd shop around first. Bonus points for being walking distance to a 24-hour Denny's."

Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean. We did not have breakfast there. The staff was OK. They didn't ask if we used the valet for the car (which we had) and they did not give us information on the internet access in the room, we had to call down to the front desk for information that seemed to be lacking. I would have liked a map of the casino with locations of restaurants, etc."

Graduate by Hilton Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"A big, comfortable room in a fantastic location. Easy parking, and easy walk to dozens of bars, restaurants, galleries, shops, and other amenities. Friendly staff. Some of the plugs in the room did not work, which can be a problem as everyone travels with multiple electronic devices. But overall a very pleasant stay."
