Top hotels in South Side
The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center
The Blackwell was absolutely stunning and beautiful. The room was extremely clean as was the entire hotel. I wish I would have been able to spend more time at the hotel. I will definitely be staying here in the future. ♥️🩶

Sonesta Columbus Downtown
The staff was awesome. Breakfast isn't included and there's a lot of construction surrounding the hotel causing confusion, but once inside, it's beautiful. It's not cheap at all, but not outrageously expensive, either. Overall, a good value.

Columbus Airport Marriott
AC in room didn't work, had it set to 60 and it never cooled down. Called the front desk at 7pm and they said they'd have an engineer check it while I was getting food, never got an update and it was hot all night
