Downtown Columbus attractions such as COSI, the Columbus Museum of Art, North Market Downtown, the Ohio Statehouse, Scioto Mile Fountain, and the Wexner Center for the Arts are all within roughly 12-14 kilometers, making the hotel a reasonable base for exploring the city's museums and parks by car.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road-trippers, event visitors (such as those in town for a race or casino trip), and families needing extra room, given the free-kids policy, suite sofabeds, and indoor pool. It also works for business travelers needing a functional meeting space and business center without downtown pricing.
Travel tips
Since the hotel is located off Interstate 70 several miles from downtown Columbus, having a car is recommended to reach attractions like COSI, the Ohio Statehouse, and Columbus Zoo, which are all roughly 11-20 kilometers away. Hollywood Casino Columbus and Quarry Trails Metro Park are the closest points of interest, making them convenient for a quick outing without much driving. Guests planning an early arrival or late checkout should confirm housekeeping and amenity access directly with the front desk, as service consistency has varied per recent guest feedback.
What guests say
Guest feedback frequently praises the staff as friendly and accommodating, along with a quiet, relaxing atmosphere and a convenient location near dining options and area attractions. Several reviewers also highlight comfortable beds and a satisfying hot breakfast. On the negative side, some guests reported cleanliness lapses, including a room with a persistent odor and inconsistent housekeeping service, as well as slow follow-through on maintenance requests like a stuck curtain and a moldy shower curtain. Overall sentiment leans positive, but a subset of reviews point to inconsistency in housekeeping standards and room upkeep.
