Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Worthington

6/10 Okay

"The room was not clean. Nice Staff"

Hyatt Place Columbus/Worthington

4/10 Poor

"The parking was good and the staff were very nice but the facility felt dirty, the garbages didn’t have bags in them, the breakfast was terrible…everything…and the worst part was the the elevator door almost crushed my husband. When entering, it would not stop trying to shut him in between the bell hop cart and the door. No matter how much we pressed the door open button or shove the doors to open, they fought my husband until will were able to shove my husband between the cart and the door which was very painful. We did notify the staff immediately as this was traumatizing for our small children to witness and for us to experience. We could not wait to check out of this hotel and were thankful it was only a 1 night stay. "
