Overview
Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus/Worthington is a 2-star budget hotel located at 7474 N High St in the New California area north of downtown Columbus, Ohio. It holds a 4-star public rating from 236 reviews, reflecting generally positive guest experiences at an economy price point. The property is part of the Wyndham family of budget-friendly, roadside-style accommodations.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits close to ZipZone Outdoor Adventures (about 1 km away) and Sharon Woods and Highbanks Metro Park (both roughly 4-4.5 km away), making it convenient for outdoor recreation. It's also within a 10 km drive of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Zoombezi Bay water park, and Columbus Park of Roses. Downtown Columbus attractions such as the Ohio Statehouse, COSI, North Market, Columbus Museum of Art, and Scioto Mile Fountain are all roughly 16-18 km away, and the Wexner Center for the Arts and Ohio History Center are about 12-13 km away.
Neighborhood Convenience
Guests note the surrounding area includes a gas station and several nearby restaurants, making it easy to grab food or fuel without traveling far. This roadside convenience suits travelers who want a simple base along N High St rather than a stay embedded in a dense downtown core.
Guest Experience
Reviewers frequently praise the front-desk customer service and describe rooms as comfortable and, in several cases, spotlessly clean. However, a recurring set of complaints involves cigarette odor, stained linens, noise disturbances at night, and issues with loitering or smoking just outside room doors, which prospective guests should weigh against the positive service reports.
Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious road-trippers and outdoor recreation travelers, given its proximity to ZipZone Outdoor Adventures, Sharon Woods, and Highbanks Metro Park. It also works for families visiting the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium or Zoombezi Bay who want an affordable base within a short drive rather than a downtown hotel rate. Travelers prioritizing low cost and simple roadside convenience over premium amenities will find the location and nearby gas station/restaurant cluster practical.
Travel tips
Since major downtown Columbus attractions like the Ohio Statehouse, COSI, and North Market are roughly 16-18 km away, plan for a 20-30 minute drive or rideshare into the city center. The immediate area around the hotel has a gas station and restaurants within walking distance, which is useful for quick meals without a car trip. Given reports of noise and occasional loitering near room entrances, light packers may want to request a room away from ground-floor exterior doors if noise sensitivity is a concern.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight friendly and helpful front-desk customer service as a standout positive, along with a convenient location near a gas station and several restaurants. Room comfort, particularly bed quality, is also mentioned favorably, and some guests describe their rooms as spotlessly clean. On the negative side, recurring complaints include lingering cigarette smoke odor, stained bedding, nighttime noise that disrupted sleep, and issues with people loitering, smoking, or causing disturbances just outside room doors. A few reviewers also mentioned unreliable or spotty internet connectivity as a drawback.
