7500 Vantage Dr, Columbus, OH 43235, New California, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.5 / 5
Overview
Quality Inn and Suites is a 3-star hotel located just off Interstate 270 in New California, on the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio. It's an unassuming, straightforward property geared toward travelers who want easy highway access and nearby dining rather than a destination resort experience. With a 3.5-star public rating from 581 reviews, it has built a reputation for reliable, no-frills stays.
Rooms
Standard rooms are simple and functional, equipped with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, and most include a minifridge, microwave and coffeemaker. Upgraded rooms step things up with whirlpool tubs, wet bars and/or pull-out sofas, while suites add a separate living room for guests wanting more space to spread out.
Dining & Amenities
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning in a low-key on-site dining area, and a 24-hour exercise room is available for guests keeping up a fitness routine while traveling. Complimentary self-parking is included, and the property is pet-friendly, welcoming travelers with animals in tow.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits close to restaurants and roughly 9 miles from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay water park, with Highbanks Metro Park and Sharon Woods each just over 4 kilometers away for outdoor recreation. ZipZone Outdoor Adventures is barely a kilometer from the property, and downtown Columbus attractions -- including the Columbus Museum of Art, COSI, the Ohio Statehouse and North Market -- are roughly 14 to 18 kilometers away.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious road-trippers, families visiting the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium or Zoombezi Bay, and pet owners, given its pet-friendly policy, free parking, and proximity to both attractions and Interstate 270. It also works well for travelers who just need a comfortable, no-frills base with breakfast and a gym rather than upscale amenities.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is just off Interstate 270, a car is the most practical way to reach downtown Columbus attractions like the Ohio Statehouse, COSI and North Market, which are all around 14-18 kilometers away. Closer options such as Highbanks Metro Park, Sharon Woods and ZipZone Outdoor Adventures are only a few minutes' drive and make for easier half-day outings. Take advantage of the complimentary continental breakfast and free parking to keep costs down during your stay.
