Top Crane Island Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

10/10 Excellent

"t"

Comfort Suites Columbus Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooms, very clean. Breakfast is a plus"

Hampton Inn Columbus - Airport

8/10 Good

"They need to renovate the property"

Comfort Suites Columbus

8/10 Good

"Decent stay"

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

8/10 Good

"Good location in the heart of Downtown Columbus. Staff was helpful and the area seemed safe. The room could have used some updating. The toilet made a high pitch noise about every 15 to 20 minutes which woke us up in the middle of the night. There was no hot water for late morning shower (10 am)."

Cherry Valley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is beautiful, the staff was great. Just a peaceful getaway."

Baymont by Wyndham Lancaster

8/10 Good

"The bed was extremely comfortable and there were two types of pillows to choose from. The only cleaning issue I noticed was the shower head needed a good scrubbing. The water pressure was great. The bathroom is small - you had to squeeze in to close the door. The sink was annoying because the faucet is not long enough to wash hands without hitting the back wall. Breakfast had a pretty good selection, but room is tight. The clerk who checked us in was very matter-of-fact and not too friendly. The property looked great and the inside looked much newer than what it is. We would definitely stay again."

Tru By Hilton Columbus East Broad

10/10 Excellent

"Our kids loved that there was a hang out area off the lobby with all the games and pool table. The pool was wonderful! Room was clean and updated. Staff was always great."

Spark by Hilton Columbus East Pickerington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, was only 16 mins from festival venue and had so many places to eat around us so super convenient"
