Top Ohio Expo Center and State Fair Hotel Reviews

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The location is beautiful and there's plenty of food options easily within walking distance"

Holiday Inn Express Columbus - Ohio Expo Center by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The elevator did not work. I had a lot of things so needed two trips caring my belongings. Another person told me that elevator is often out of service. When I left after one night,I wanted to ask for a partial refund, but I was about as far as I could be from the front desk and had already made two trips to my car on the stairs. I was already running late so did not have time. No excuse if they often have trouble. It should be working."

Comfort Suites Columbus Expo Center

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast does leave room to be desired. It was fine just not much to choose from. My issue was during one night the police had to escort out the person in the room next to me. I had called down to the desk as he was banging the walls, screaming, breaking things in his room, slamming the door and trying to open the doors across the hall. The staff never followed up on the issue and the manager never even spoke to me. It was 500 a night and they offered 10% off. I know they can’t control the people but I could over hear them talking to the police about comping the room and how much they were charging. My one night was ruined and at times were a bit nerving since he started venturing into the hall. I feel a steeper discount on the night would have been more appropriate."

Hyatt House Columbus OSU / Short North

8/10 Good

"Parking was easy and proximity to the concert venue was ideal. I just think it is overly expensive for what it was. I understand the high cost played into my needs but a room that was $400 + for less than 24 hours is a little over the top. It was clean and quiet."
