Best for
This hotel suits road-trippers and highway travelers thanks to its Highway 270 location, as well as families and leisure visitors drawn to nearby Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Zoombezi Bay, and Quarry Trails Metro Park. It also works well for business travelers needing a functional base near Ohio State University and downtown Columbus, aided by the on-site business center and free parking.
Travel tips
Because most major Columbus attractions -- COSI, the Ohio Statehouse, and Franklin Park Conservatory among them -- sit roughly 12 to 17 km away, plan for a 15-to-20-minute drive into downtown and check traffic on Highway 270 during peak commute times. Quarry Trails Metro Park is the closest attraction at under 5 km, making it an easy option for a quick outdoor break without much driving. Take advantage of the weekday to-go breakfast bags if heading out early to beat traffic toward downtown attractions.
