Staff has been great Staff aside, this hotel is complete garbage We booked through Expedia and I didn’t realize the breakfast wasn’t included

They want $1250 / person to eat (no free coffee either) Our room A/C isn’t keeping up, it’s warm, our A/C unit is leaking, causing the carpet surrounding the A/C to be SOAKED (I’m sure it is also moldy) and our bathroom smells like wet dog Also, when you turned the shower on, it sounds like 1,000 bees behind the shower wall (there aren’t actually bees, it is just really obnoxious) The toilet runs and runs and runs I’m just flabbergasted they have the audacity to ask for $1250 / guest for breakfast on top of our already expensive booking costs when our room isn’t even worth $170+ a night We’re paying $37609 for two nights here Which also makes no sense seeing as how our booking through Expedia was only $34192 Just overall NOT PLEASED with our stay here in any way, shape or form **WOULD NOT RECOMMEND**

When we entered the lobby with our four-year-old son around 8pm, there was one person in line in front of us No one was at the front desk After entertaining our son for a few minutes, I looked up to see an angry-looking man walking briskly toward us, saying, “You didn’t have to yell

I was just making a fresh pot of coffee!” (No one had been yelling, although our son was talking excitedly as he explored the space)We checked in without further incident and made it to our room It appeared clean for the most part, but there was something that looked like poo on the toilet We inspected the room more closely for cleanliness and didn’t see any other issues, so we cleaned the toilet ourselves and stayed in the room We requested different pillows and had to go to the front desk to get then They had no one to bring them upThe room was comfortable and quiet We tried to eat breakfast in the restaurant the next morning, but no one appeared to be working After waiting about five minutes, we decided to eat elsewhere Everything was fine, but they are clearly understaffed, which is understandable with Covid restrictions

I stayed here last night and loved it! The young man with blond hair who greeted us at the front desk made us feel welcome and well-taken care of When we had a small issue with our room, he rectified it immediately and made us feel at ease I really appreciated the soft lighting and silent ambiance of our room; it was perfect after a long day of running around the city

I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Columbus, and would absolutely stay here again myself

Joe Eide

Great place to stay, as we stayed here for a baseball tournament in the area with our entire team of 11 year old boys (also during the weekend of the Memorial) They have a very nice patio and pool, as well lobby, and breakfast wasn’t too bad either I definitely recommend staying here for a night, weekend, or however long you will be in town

There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance, and for those that feel the urge, there is a Dave and Busters within walking distance I will definitely stay there again, as I often come down for the Memorial TournamentI also have to add that Leo, at the front desk, is such a great person and made us feel very welcome

Nihu’s Honey Gurls

This hotel is awesome It definitely bought normalcy back from the Covid madness The hotel is very clean and well kept

I received an exemplary greeting at the front desk upon my arrival for my son’s wedding After I had gotten settled, in my room that was perfectly cooled with the air already set, I received a text message asking if everything was to my satisfaction That has never happened in any other Hilton brands in which I’ve stayed I thought it may have been auto generated but responded anyway Nope! It was not automaton A real live person (Meca) responded back accordingly Impressive customer service I love it! The room was beyond perfect for what I neededThe bed was comfortable and slept really well I love the entire room set up The light in the restroom to assist with steaming my dress was a very nice surprise and much neededWhen I went to breakfast I was greeted with a very friendly and genuine “good morning” from Tiauna She greeted every single person who came in with the same genuine greeting I even heard her explain the extra charges (hold for incidentals) to someone who had inquired of her She did not refer them to the front desk for assistance She went above and beyond her duties Love it!Thank you Hilton for restoring my faith back into your brand This was going to be my last stay as I just had, within the last month two bad experiences with two of your other hotels I’ve been an exclusive Hilton brands user/ member for over 30 years One of your hotels canceled my reservation for a meeting room that was to be used for rehearsal dinner 3 weeks before my son’s wedding due to upcoming (but couldn’t tell me exact date because she did not know) renovations I found this unacceptable We lost money on booked vendors due to late notice and had to just go to a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner This is NOT what we wanted The other hotel canceled my reservation completely, without notice until the morning of my scheduled arrival due to my credit card not been updated due to my oversight after my personal information was stolen You send many emails and I believe a courtesy email would have been nice I found it strange that they were trying to run my card anyway since I had not checked in This hotel did not do that In fact my card was scanned, by myself, upon my arrival That was another plus for this hotel I hope whatever training was done for the employees here is implemented throughout your brand Whoever manages the Hilliard Ohio location deserves a bonus for themselves and their employees Thank you team Hilliard for a great stay You’ve restored my faith in Hilton brands

After having a horrible experience elsewhere, this was refreshing No carpets, thank you Lord It was clean, and it was a short quick stay where I couldn’t unpack certain essentials and the front desk had it

Also, breakfast was nice, waffles with real fruit, yogurt, granola bars and juice No pics We got there late, left early Had a place to be

Chris Thomas

I don’t normally write negative reviews but I had a horrible experience with this place I arrived at night and everything was dark with several cars in the parking lot with their engines running I pulled up to the entrance and walked up to the front door to go in when an employee sitting at the entrance asked me if I was trying to check in

I said yes, and she told me that the power was off so I couldn’t do it (apparently the electricity was off in large parts of the city for two days) I asked her what to do, and she told me to call the hotel tomorrow for a refund So I left to try to find somewhere else to stay When I called back the next day, an employee literally hung up on me when I said I was calling about a refund for the previous night I called back and talked to a different employee explaining that I thought I’d accidentally been disconnected the first time, and the employee very rudely said “No we’re just very busy and don’t have time to talk with you now Call back another time” I called back twice more and they took down my information and promised that the manager would call me back because they told me that only the manager could approve the refund Manager never called me back Finally, after nearly a week I talked to an employee who accused me of being a “no show” but said that I could try to request a refund through the travel site I’d used to book the hotel Travel site said they were happy to give me a refund if the manager approved it, but I received an email today saying that the manager had denied the request I followed the hotel employee’s instructions when I arrived at the hotel and I don’t really understand what I was supposed to do differently I feel like I’ve been scammed out of over $100

Michael Dickson

The room is clean and the breakfast is pretty good but I will never stay here again There is always an issue with billing When going through priceline or trivago something either doesn’t bill and they charge again and then the charge finally goes through or they charge $100 charge as well and hope you don’t remember it and they keep the fee and have to fight to get it credited back

Excellent customer service, room was clean and spacious Enjoyed the hot tub in the room The breakfast was good and enjoyed the gym

The location is in a decent spot but the current construction on the main road makes it hard to accessOur room included a sleeper sofa but no linen for it and was missing toiletry but overall was a good experience

SmileyElmo98

Reservation, check in, & check out were easy & straightforward & the staff was very polite & helpful Hotel is located right across the street from several gas stations & fast food restaurants, which was very convenient The lobby, hallways, & rooms were clean, warm, & well-maintained, & the bed was clean, comfortable, & smelled like lavender

My only complaint is that the hallways smelled like marijuana There were a variety of hot & cold breakfast items, all of which were fresh & tasted good If I’m ever in the area again, this is where I will be staying 🙂 Thank you!

Cassidy Mathews

This hotel is absolutely stunning So clean, rooms are so cute the bathrooms are big, the amenities are good quality If you score a room with a jacuzzi tub you are in for a treat!! We loved every minute of our stay

The complimentary breakfast is absolutely 5 stars! Omlettes, waffles, fresh fruit, boiled eggs, flavored creamer, whipped cream, from the biggest to smallest details they have absolutely rocked it Absolutely recommend this place!

Room was what we expected for the current rate(s)We were not seeking a $2 – $500 a night motelWe attended the Ohio State Fair which Comfort Suites is within walking distance

5 stars no doubt because we attended the Foreigner concert knowing I would be consuming alcoholic beveragesThe continental breakfast was much better than anticipated! Service was good; very polite and courteous to everyone we noticed interaction withRooms are non smoking 🚭 ours was cool an fresh smelling A single queen bedroom which was very clean and the bathroom also Our bed was so comfortable (even before coming back from concert: lol)They have a swimming pool inside for guests open from 9:00am – 9:00pm very cleanPlenty of upfront handicap ♿️ parking with accessible entrance and exit(s)We are happy with our stay, recommending Comfort Suites, and hope to get a room here next year TY CS and all the staff

Dave Smilie

When we rolled in, the hotel next door had some police activity Like 30 cars and a helicopter, type activity Needless to say, we were a bit alarmed

The guy at the front desk was nice but he was a bit overwhelmed Apparently, the power had just come back on after a few hours He gave us our keys and sent us on our way but the room hadn’t been cleaned Try #2 got us a clean roomThis hotel is merely OK It could use a remodel

Ansaba Arthur

The pool was green The back entry door from the parking lot was broken and the shards of glass were still on the ground The outside sometimes smelled like weed

However, the rooms were very clean and the bathrooms were updated and fully stocked with hairdryers and towels No weird smell, but there was a stain on the couch It was overall an okay place to stay—it has a lot of room for improvement

Location location location! We have stayed here twice and both were excellent Both were for events at The Shoe and you can’t beat being able to walk right over Rooms are clean and have a great layout

Easy and secure parking at no additional cost Check in friendly and accommodating Yes, smaller than a typical hotel room but lots of bang for your buck!

Joanie Sturgill

I took my 16 year old daughter to CBUS for a weekend getaway and stayed at The Urban We had a great time and enjoyed the hotel Yes, the rooms are small but comfortable

I appreciated the espresso machine in the room It’s well decorated and has a good vibe There are also quite a few perks in the hotel such as a hot tub, hammock, gym, game room, plenty of shared kitchens and space to relax outside of the room The staff were friendly Having a parking garage was also nice

Ashley Bartholomaus

As soon as we got to the hotel the south was very helpful and kind Our room was adorably small, and had plenty of amenities to make sure she was comfortable The grounds are well cared for and the location is walking distance to many restaurants and a CVS

We love the courtyard in the rooftop deck It’s in Columbus we will absolutely be staying there again

Stay was fine until we tried to get hot water for showers Had to ask for another room to try and shower in but also no hot water there We were refunded for the stay which was great but definitely an inconvenience and we were late to our event Sunday morning

Nice hotel layout with the pool location Exercise area could use some attention Probably would if given a 5 if we had hot water

Kathy Mayer

I thought that the rooms were fine, but had a few details and suggestions to share First, the positive: The night desk person (Devon) was absolutely a delight He was kind and friendly, so just the kind of person you would want to greet guests

The breakfast buffet was disappointing Mini omelets with Velveeta type cheese in the middle were not hot and cheese not melted Potatoes were good and French toast sticks ok No bananas or other healthy options NOT worth $1200 My advice is to just serve the usual cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, waffles, etc that lower cost hotels offer I noticed that not many guests ate the buffet breakfast We ate from it the first day, then brought back breakfast sandwiches from a fast food place and bought bananas Regards, K Mayer

Casey

Surprised I didn’t see any other reviews complaining of the noise, but the walls in this place are paper thinWe could hear every word of the conversations in the rooms on either side of us, and these folks weren’t being loud at all… Luckily no one was using the pool late, because the sounds from the hallway are worse

Needless to say, we slept terriblyThe walls in the room and the bathroom were dirty with splatters and random stainsThe beds were fine There’s a small Starbucks in the lobby, which is nice

Location was great for what we needed Some mold was around the ceiling in the bathroom There were 4 of us, and only three towels in the room

No biggie, just asked for more but you would think they would know how many guests were in the room Also needed more shampoo, and they don’t clean your room daily anymore Probably staffing issues Probably would try one of the other hotels in the vicinity next time

Tj Breitmeier

We used the Hilton app to check in and out, so I did not interact with the staff The app works well The digital key works better than the key cards you get at the front desk

The curtains were confusing but there is a set of black out curtains, between the sheer curtains and the window, that are somewhat hidden but do close all the way USB outlets on the side tables beside the bed were a nice touch There wasn’t an obvious hotel directory and I had to search the website for information It would be nice if the app included check out times, hours for continental breakfast, and other general information for the hotel The inside of the cabinet with the mini fridge was beat up, but furniture is made poorly these days and I don’t find fault in the hotel for thisWhat we saw of the hotel was clean and had expected wear from people occupying the rooms I was pleased that there was no smell of cigarettes or dogs and we could not hear any trafficWe did not get to try the breakfast, but it smelled good as we were checking out I will likely stay here again

The staff are friendly and helpful The location is really nice with a fair amount of dining near by The rooms are in ok shape, not incredible, but reasonable

The hot breakfast is not the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had, but it’s not awful On the whole, this Homewood Suites is just fine I’ve stayed there quite a bit in the last 2 months and it’s a tolerable home away from home

Cindy S Barker

Suite is perfect with full kitchen and fireplace Staff was really caring and service oriented Manager, Justin a very open and friendly gentleman was present and on top of things so I saw no issues

Housekeeping staff was amazing and very helpful I especially appreciated Ibn I am currently using a walker and he went out of his way to open doors for me and to make sure i was comfortable Ibn is also the reason the public areas sparkle Girls in housekeeping are friendly an good at what they do Give them all a raise We’ll be back!

Aarin Pesko-Morales

My overall experience at this location was positive but was disappointed by the lack of attention to detail regarding room cleanliness (M&M candy on floor near refrigerator and dirty top of refrigerator) This location has a Whole Foods that is very convenient The fitness room says 24/7 but was not

Self check-in and room key via phone worked and was a huge plus

Andrew Heller

I was very happy with every detail about my stay here The place was currently undergoing some renovations but that didn’t bother us Actually never heard any noise from said work

We were the first to stay in this newly updated suite We walked into a good sized living room/kitchen area with a breakfast bar with two chairs A full sized refrigerator, small counter space with sink/garbage disposal and dishwasher The electric stove tops were not installed yet but they offered hot plates to cook on The beds are new and comfy I can’t speak for the other units but this room had a bath tub instead of a walk in shower which was great for the kids Brand new TVs in both living room and bedroom Brand new pull out sofa bed (just call down and ask for extra linens and they are brought up promptly) There is a common courtyard with a fire pit and chairs and a propane grilling area An indoor pool was a great option and towels were readily available poolside Continental breakfast served daily but be early Food selection was good with fruits, muffins, cereal, bagels, eggs, bacon, sausage etcThere was some kind of paint spray on my rental car when I came out in the morning The attendant at the front desk came out and wiped it clean for us Very friendly, great location and average price Would absolutely stay here again

Steve Davis

Place is dirty Huge stains in the carpet in the corridors Drywall falling off walls and ceilings

Rust in the tubs Very out dated They tried to paint touch up but used colors that didn’t match Furniture is old unclean and smelled Had to call front desk cause they allowed a party at Midnight in the middle of the court yard with loud music(weren’t the only ones to complain) Pool is a joke Will never stay here again Staff was uncaring and hard to find

Megan Roush

We really gave this place a 3 out of 5 stars due to a few factors The front desk was very nice and welcoming and even gave a paper with info about the hotel, breakfast and pool hours, etc which we really liked This is more of a business/extended stay hotel so the pool and the fireplace outside close early at 10:00pm every night, but they don’t mind you staying in that area as long as you’re quiet since most of the rooms look in on that area

Breakfast was decent, not 5 michelin star quality, but not a 2 star motel style “here’s a muffin and cereal” type oc breakfast The building is a little out of date, so it didn’t look as nice as the photos online when we booked Further on that, it showed an oven in our room time and there was no oven when we got to our room One of our rooms the curtain was torn and we even found someone else’s child’s boots and socks inside the pull out sofa The elevator floor was always with debris and dirt and the rooms had dust on top of the refrigerators Normally wouldn’t care, but the refrigerators are very short and you can see it on there

When you are traveling and Life is throwing curveballs at you left and right, one after another, you just want to get to a hotel that is clean and quiet This is how our day was today However, it was our great luck that we had chosen to stay at this hotel

The decor is modern, the parking is great, and there are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby We had a great view of the Olentangy River from our room The beds were comfortable with nice linens, clean floor, and clean bathroom with the standard toiletries and hair dryer Bonus – we enjoyed an early check-in with no line The front desk staff was precise and efficientWorthy of mention was Katie, the Front Desk Manager She was cordial, polite, and conversational Her kind words and actions certainly earned the entire experience at Hampton 6 stars out of 5 !

Angela Purtell

My husband and I spent two nights at this location while attending a family wedding We always enjoy staying at Hampton Inns, and this property had the comfortable rooms and amenities that we’ve come to expect from the Hampton brand There were a few minor issues that prevent me from giving five stars and had me considering a three star rating

First, our room did not have a shower curtain, making it difficult to keep the bathroom floor dry during a shower We arrived very late at night after several long days of travel, so we simply didn’t have the energy to look into fixing this issue as we mostly wanted to use the room to rest before the wedding we were attendingSecond, my husband, who never complains about his interactions with businesses and tends to give those with customer facing jobs the benefit of the doubt, had a brief but unpleasant interaction with a member of the breakfast staff He tells me they were speaking to him like an employee and not a guest, complaining that he had not replaced a lid on the eggs being served I later observed another member of the breakfast team speaking abruptly and appearing very stressed, leaving me to wonder if this very busy area is understaffedFinally, housekeeping opened our door twice without knocking, entering the room unannounced the second time Once is a mistake, but the second time makes me think this is a lack of proper training or a lack of organization, especially since there’s a message in the room saying they will not provide housekeeping during your stay unless you request itAll of these issues are minor, and we really did enjoy our stay, but I think this property and its staff have some room for growth

Chasidy Perkins

My family and I stayed here for my son’s two day football camp and it was a pleasant experience The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, and the continental breakfast was amazing! Very close to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center if you need to go there for anything The only down side I had was that they didn’t have a hot tub but they did have a nice pool

I would recommend this hotel to others who need to stay in the area Also, try the restaurant, Roosters which is in walking distance, it’s great!

Keeping in mind it’s a 2 star hotel, we found it to be clean enough However, the smell that permeated through the whole hotel was nauseating The first floor was the worst as we went down in search of vending machines

We could not use the latch on our door as it appears to have been previously broke and not fixed correctly so it no longer lined up Our door was hard to pull and latch when leaving our room, so if you are not mindful, you could leave your room completely open while leaving I also have been bitten on my back multiple times by what I can only assume were bed bugs While I did not see any bed bugs, all the bites on my back would certainly indicate they were there If you are looking for a cheaper hotel, find a different one, or find a way to spend a bit more money and stay somewhere else The employees were nice

I reserved room in the extended stay app In the app it says to show the qr code at check in she never did any of that She just kept asking me things that the qr code probably would have already answered

I asked her about the qr code and she said don’t need it I liked the water and popcorn given in the room I didn’t like that they only had oatmeal for breakfast food but I guess it’s better than nothing They need to offer more though like oat bars granola bars nutrigrain bars and fruit apples bananas oranges I feel laundry should be free but cost seems pretty reasonable They need a change machine in laundry room Also do you really need to have key card for laundry room?

This is one of the best hotels i’ve ever stayed at, very clean and well kept The staff was lovely with assistance and the facility was up to par very affordable as well

I was walking out and I had stumbled on a rock and fell down… the manager quickly jumped to her feet to come help me up and to get my bags that went flying!!! My family and I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you

Ladies – read this before booking a stay here! I travel frequently on business; most often alone Last week I stayed at this hotel with 2 colleagues The hotel was in very poor condition but I overlooked the many issues because it appears they have started a renovation somewhere inside {certainly not in the room I was in!} What I can’t overlook is a very serious safety concern with this hotel

One of my colleagues’ key cards stopped working in the middle of our stay He went to the front desk and the associate asked his room number and gave him new keys with no verification whatsoever! She didn’t ask his name, and she didn’t ask for an ID This is very concerning to me as she had no idea if he was an actual guest or a stalker that was about to enter a room and wait on an unassuming guest to arrive later This is inexcusable! Earlier in the week, another colleague was able to charge something to his room with zero ID verificationWhile nowhere near as serious, it does tell me that not verifying guests identity is a consistent issue here Travelers, and especially women, book reliable hotel chains when they are traveling alone and their safety should be the highest priority of hotel chains I have tried twice to reach the GM of the hotel, John Hickey, but he has yet to call me back even though I left detailed messages explaining I had a serious safety concern I’ll never stay at this hotel again…if you do, I suggest checking the closet before locking your door for the evening

This hotel in general feels like a Days Inn motel, offering nothing at all special except a place to store your luggage while you lie on their misshapen, springy mattressesThe rooms have a pullout sofa bed thing that was actually only slightly less comfortable than the bed itself, which has probably been around since the 90s 0 stars for comfort

The shower/bath faucet was actually the wrong valve to match which was was hot and which way was cold You had to turn it toward cold to get hot, and hot to get cold Strangest thing everThe hallways repeat the Days Inn feel, but the lobby tries to make you feel like you’re joining a Marriott property 100% of their budget goes into pretending to be a Marriott, albeit the lowest version of one as a CourtyardThe price is okay, but you get what you pay for

Chance Cobbett

Seems great from the start but are fridge was so small I couldn’t put anything else in except 1 gallon of milk for my daughter, I honestly think the only microwave is in the lobby, pretty much if your traveling for work and a family member or 2 stays at the hotel they don’t have much resources to make your own food! I will also say my 1 year old daughter that sleeps through the night cried some during the day and are neighbors thought it’d be great the mock her and then she was even more upset, I went to the front desk and was told their wasn’t really anything they would do, long story short we checked out the next day

Nice hotel, very spacious rooms, and clean The office in the room was really helpful with getting work done The staff was pleasant and nice

Would recommend staying here and would stay here againBreakfast was basic (hotel food) and the gym is very small Open space in the lobby for doing work The staff was friendly and not overbearing

Mike Moore

We were staying in Columbus for the state track and field meet and made a horrible decision on a hotel In a bind, this hotel staff went to work to find enough rooms for all of our athletes and coaches Not only were the rooms nicer, but the breakfast was also great with many options, and the lobby was spacious as well

The staff is the game-changer though This is the nicest hotel staff that I have ever been around They asked several times about our stay and take pride in their hotel There is no doubt about where we are staying when we make it to the state meet again Thanks for helping us out in a tough time and thanks for making it a great experience If you are looking for a place to stay, you can feel confident booking here

Lee Rausch

Our daughter was at the James Hospital at OSU From top to bottom the staff treated us like caring family and friends The housekeeping staff, breakfast staff and building maintenance were as caring as the front desk staff

The bartenders were great as we were decompressing from some very stressful days Overall I’d recommend this hotel to anyone!

I have never written a bad review before online I give people the benefit of the doubt, and businesses the chance to make things right This hotel is completely mismanaged

1 When we got there the bedding had hair on it (fine, that happens, we just wanted clean bedding) and we were told to bring it down to the desk to get clean bedding- which is really odd to have to bring dirty bedding through the hotel and then remake the bed with clean bedding from the front desk I didn’t complain or plan to, because in the big picture, not a big deal2 The fire alarm went off the first night around 1am (waking my three kids including one with severe special needs who didn’t go back to sleep well) After going out to the car and waiting for the firefighters to give us to okay to go back in, the front desk staff informed everyone in the lobby that someone left the pool door open and the steam triggered the alarm Again, I was frustrated, but also just grateful everyone was safe and not going to complain3 However, the second night the alarm went off AGAIN at about 1am This time we did not go to the car because the front-desk staff was very apologetic that the pool door was propped open again out of their sight and was steam that triggered the smoke alarm again They assured us we were safe to stay in our room We had paid $450 to SLEEP and ended up getting almost no sleep two nights in a row (for us or our kids) Now I was planning to complainAfter many attempts to speak with a manager, I finally got an email response from the management company- the hotels response was “not our fault” They said that a kid had pulled the alarm the first night and that there was mandatory testing the second night (by the alarm company or fire marshal) The story changes depending on who you talk to What stayed consistent was that since “it was not their fault” and “not in their control” they did not owe us anything for a completely awful stay They offered me a 30% refund, which I agreed to- but then when I followed-up indicated the check is only for $60 (~14% not 30%) Moreover, over a week later we have not received it This is terrible customer service from a staff that appeared to be poorly managed

All I can say is that we were extremely satisfied while staying at this hotel The lobby is beautiful and the fireplace in the evening was absolutely comforting in the winter nights we stayed I cannot come and the staff enough for going out of their way to make us comfortable and making sure that we all had a wonderful stay

One thing that really stood out to me was that the owner or manager was always there and would make sure everything was up to par Places like this stand out to me and anytime we are back in the area at Ohio Health we will definitely make it a point to stay at this hotel even if it is out of our way

Michael Andersen

The price is relatively low in the area, and as a business traveler this lures you in as you’re trying to save the customer money where you can while still staying at a trustworthy brand that is conveniently booked Simply put: I’m trying to build IHG points and the app is easyThe front desk staff and lobby are lovely, check in was quick and convenient

At this point I have stayed twice at this location in about three weeks, showing I was willing to give the room roulette a second chanceMy biggest gripe which is minor but is worth noting is that when I am tasked with staying away from home I prefer to bring my work or personal laptop with me and I need at bare minimum a place to sit and function comfortably I believe that is the industry standard, and after nine years of business traveling at primarily IHG and Hilton locations I would rather have a nice desk with a mesh office chair with the last guy’s crumbs in it than this location that offers a two or three foot square coffee table and two stiff chairs with dead cushions that feels like you are sitting on grated wood There was barely room to fit your knees between the table legs and I needed to place a pillow on the chair to sit at any lengthI’d rather pay more and drive further than stay here until they update the rooms

My sister in law and I stayed their last night with our 3 boys and it was great The boys loved the pool, (especially having it all to their selves) the young lady at the front counter was amazingly helpful and extremely sweet (Wish I could remember her name) The room was very clean and updated

The breakfast was very nice and the staff was helpful (The toaster was not working and they toasted my toast and my sons bagel in the oven for us) Would definitely recommend and we will be staying their again Thank you for a very peaceful night’s stay…

Amanda Holbrook

Positives: The couple of people I talked with at the front desk were very friendly and helpfulNegatives: I was taken aback when I saw the lack of cleanliness from our room given the raving reviews from previous customers Just so much felt dirty being in the room knowing it wasn’t cleaned well

Lots of stains on the walls, doors, and mattress Pubic hairs all over the bathroom floor Finger nail clippers and other debris from previous guests were left under the table in plain viewThe breakfast attendant was very great at keeping the breakfast area clean but she was terrible at keeping it stocked with food and even served scrambled eggs cold I watched her be argumentative with another guest who pointed out that the orange juice was emptyThis hotel definitely doesn’t deserve the star rating they are presenting and I was definitely disappointed given the high price tag we paid for the room I definitely will not be returning to this hotel even though we visit the area a couple of times a year

Brian Workman

This hotel is conveniently located just off the expressway The people are friendly and helpful The rooms are fairly nice and comfortable

This hotel was easy to find and has plenty of parking and easy accessThe pool is nice and the workout room is sufficient for your needs while travelingBreakfast is very nice I appreciate being able to wake up in the morning and have a hot breakfast with eggs and bacon or waffles They also have the standard assortments of juices and milk and coffee

I was pleasantly surprised during my one night stay at here Owens the staff member who checked us in was very pleasant and friendly Our room was very clean! The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked

The only small issue was that the body wash, conditioner and shampoo bottles that are fixtured to the shower wall were all empty, but we only stayed one night so it was not that big of a deal I will remember this place for my next stay in Columbus

Odessa Walker

The rooms were clean, the customer service was EXCELLENT!! After having a bad experience with the hotel next door, it was a breath of fresh air to come over to the Fairfield Inn because they were very accomodating and just all around kind & respectful We were there due to a loved one being hospitalized at the near by hospital They gave us the medical rate and the shuttle service carried us back and forth to the hospital all the way up to 11:00pm!!There is nearby eating places in walking distance which is very convenient especially if you don’t have your own transportation

The interaction with staff was always professional and helpfulDue to what we were Going through with our loved one, we needed a place of peace and relaxation every night and Fairfield Inn did exactly this for us!! HOSPITALITY AT IT’S BEST!!

Sephora Mentado

It was a great stay! The staff was super nice and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable We stayed for a concert and they provided a complimentary shuttle! Saved us some money and time on parking & helped with reducing the amount of vehicles for the event They replenished some breakfast items even close to the end! Whirlpool was not super hot though, still relaxing
