Jungle House Studio Suites – Short North & Convention Center
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Jungle House Studio Suites is a studio-style, apartment-hotel property in the Short North neighborhood, within a 15-minute walk of the Greater Columbus Convention Center and Nationwide Arena. Each home is set up as a self-contained suite rather than a traditional hotel room, with a kitchen, oven/stove, and microwave for guests who want to cook rather than eat out every meal. The property is smoke-free and pet-friendly, making it a flexible option for a range of travelers.
Rooms & In-Suite Amenities
Units feature air conditioning and heating, a balcony, an ironing board, and a crib, suggesting layouts designed for longer or more comfortable stays rather than a basic overnight room. The source summary notes that homes include memory foam beds with premium linens and espresso makers, adding a residential level of comfort. The full kitchen setup, including an oven, stove, and microwave, lets guests handle meals on their own schedule.
Dining Nearby
The location puts guests within a very short walk of numerous restaurants and bars, including Press Grill and Bakersfield Short North (both roughly 20-30 meters away), Forno Kitchen + Bar (50m), SoCal Kitchen + Bar (74m), 698 Restaurant (109m), Brassica in the Short North (137m), The Pearl (241m), The Guild House (264m), and Arch City Tavern (300m). This density of American, Mediterranean, and Californian dining options means guests can walk to a different restaurant nearly every night of a stay.
Location & Getting Around
Five bus stations are within roughly 650 meters, led by N High St & Warren St just 73m away, giving car-free guests easy access to public transit. John Glenn Columbus International Airport is about 9.8km away. The Short North setting also puts the Greater Columbus Convention Center and Nationwide Arena within a 15-minute walk, alongside nearby hiking/biking trails, kayaking, and mountain biking for active travelers.
Best for
This property suits business travelers attending events at the Greater Columbus Convention Center or Nationwide Arena, thanks to its short walk to both venues and its quiet, private studio setup. It's also well suited to couples or longer-stay guests who want a home-like base with a full kitchen, balcony, and premium bedding, and to travelers who want to walk to dinner rather than drive, given the dozen-plus restaurants within a few hundred meters.
Travel tips
Skip renting a car for local trips: the N High St & Warren St bus stop is just 73 meters away, and four more bus stations sit within roughly 650 meters. Budget about 20-25 minutes from John Glenn Columbus International Airport (9.8km away) to the property. Since the surrounding Short North blocks are packed with restaurants and bars, book dinner reservations ahead on weekends when the area gets busy near the Convention Center and Nationwide Arena.
