Guest rating: 3.9 / 5
Overview
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbus West is a 3-star, budget-friendly hotel located off I-70 in New California, on the western edge of the Columbus metro area. It has an informal, unpretentious character, with a 3.9-star average from 511 reviews reflecting a solid but no-frills experience. The property is positioned as a practical overnight stop or economical base for exploring Columbus rather than a luxury destination.
Rooms & Suites
Rooms are streamlined and informal, equipped with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, microwaves and minifridges for everyday convenience. Suites step things up with whirlpool tubs and sitting areas featuring pull-out sofas, while one-bedroom suites add a separate living room for extra space. Several guests note clean bedding and comfortable beds, though the interiors and bathrooms in some rooms show their age with peeling wallpaper or dated fixtures.
Dining
A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served each morning in an understated on-site dining room, giving guests a no-cost way to start the day without leaving the property. This is especially useful given the hotel's suburban location near I-70, where guests may prefer not to drive out immediately for food.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site recreation includes an indoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center, letting guests relax or stay active without leaving the building. Combined with in-room comforts like microwaves and minifridges, these amenities support both short highway stopovers and slightly longer stays.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits about 4 miles from Hollywood Casino Columbus, making it a convenient base for casino visitors, and roughly 6-9 miles from Quarry Trails Metro Park and Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park for outdoor recreation. Downtown Columbus attractions -- including COSI, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Ohio Statehouse, Scioto Mile Fountain, North Market Downtown, and the Wexner Center for the Arts -- are roughly 12-14 kilometers (about 8-9 miles) away, putting the city's main cultural sites within a short drive.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road-trippers and overnight travelers using I-70, as well as visitors heading to Hollywood Casino Columbus just a few miles away. It also works for families, thanks to suites with pull-out sofas and separate living rooms plus a policy allowing children 18 and under to stay free with an adult, and for leisure travelers wanting easy access to downtown Columbus museums and parks without downtown pricing.
Travel tips
Since the hotel is several miles west of downtown Columbus, plan on driving or arranging transportation to reach attractions like COSI, the Ohio Statehouse, and North Market Downtown, all roughly 8-9 miles away. Guests heading to Hollywood Casino Columbus benefit from its much closer proximity at under 5 miles. Take advantage of the complimentary hot breakfast buffet before heading out, particularly useful given the hotel's suburban setting away from a dense restaurant strip.
What guests say
Guest feedback consistently highlights friendly, attentive staff, with several reviewers specifically praising helpfulness during difficult situations like a winter storm. Cleanliness and comfortable beds are frequently mentioned positives, along with good value for the price and a convenient location near dining and shopping. On the negative side, a recurring theme is that the interior feels dated and in need of renovation, with complaints about peeling wallpaper, outdated bathrooms, and in at least one case a mildew smell. Overall, the hotel is seen as a reliable, service-oriented budget option that would benefit from a physical refresh.
