Top Discovery District Hotel Reviews

Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"The casino just opened recently next to the casino. The rooms are extremely clean and bright. The decor is very modern. The beds were comfy. The bathroom was well laid out and even had a make-up mirror which most hotels don't even think of. All of the staff were professional and very personable. A very delightful stay."

Hilton Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is fabulous but is really big. When I arrived, I had no idea where to park and ended up parking too far away. When I got to the desk to check-in. I asked for a closer parking and was advised of one, but when I checked out a gentleman in front of me was handed a map upon checking in, Why didn't I get a map? So the level of customer service of the front desk attendees varies! Hotel is very clean and plenty of food options."

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

8/10 Good

"We arrived on Friday and the water was turned off. The repairs were done but the water was not working. When we left the property at 6 pm it still was not working. When we returned later it was on. Our room was never cleaned on Saturday. We returned to the hotel at 4pm and it was not done. We were ok with towels so we did not call the front desk to report that our room was not cleaned."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Booked the king suite for a vacation. Home2suites was a great place to stay, it was nice having a full suite. And kitchenette is convenient. The complimentary breakfast hit the spot. Might want to use smaller tongs for the egg/meat area though. Staff were attentive. Will definitely put Home2suites on potential hotel for future trips"
