Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"My best friend and I came to Columbus for a concert. The staff at the desk were absolutely amazing. Very helpful with any questions I had. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was delicious. All around it was a great stay. A little pricey in my opinion and I don’t believe parking should have been extra but I would pay it again."

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)."

"Needed a hotel for the night and it was the cheapest, nice looking hotel I could find. It ended up being the nicest hotel I’ve ever been to. The staff was great, the breakfast was phenomenal, and everything was super clean. Only complaint was that the downstairs tile floors seemed super sticky, but if that’s my only complaint, I see it as a huge win. Good water pressure, comfortable bed/pillows, and great hospitality. I’ll definitely stay here again!"

"Always great to stay at The Graduate. Love the location in the middle of Short North! Pretty disappointed in our room’s view of the HVAC system this time. Literally no other view than ductwork. The front staff was nice and valet’s work hard! Don’t count on the attached Homage bar for food. They have a breakfast but not very organized and not part of the hotel. The room was clean and pretty quiet. They are heavy doors so I am always pleasantly surprised we don’t hear more slamming."

Comfort Suites Columbus Expo Center

Comfort Suites Columbus Expo Center

8/10 Good
"Vintage. That’s the word used today to convey old but still gold. The place is definitely old but tbh I stayed at the Tru by the airport the night before and the only difference in favor of Tru was that it’s a newer facility. And its breakfast was, meh. The comfort here had a pretty good breakfast with more options than the average hotel. Once you get past that it’s dated or that there might be a homeless person passing through you’ll see that it’s actually a very cost effective option. Ran into a lot of OSU fans last night so it’s not just for people that are attending Congress down the street. Good cost effective option."
