Top Short North Hotel Reviews

Olentangy Motor Inn

6/10 Okay

"Convenient to the OSU campus. Nice room, but nothing special. Ceiling was cracked, we kept tripping over transition strips on the floor. A/C was SO loud but worked well."

Wyndham Columbus

6/10 Okay

"The pictures did not accurately reflect the property. The hallway carpets were dirty, and guests frequently left trash outside their doors, where it often remained for extended periods. There was also an unpleasant odor throughout the hotel. The rooms themselves were in better condition than the common areas, but overall, I would not recommend this as a first-choice stay."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

2/10 Terrible

"No bathroom clean, AC was making noise,breakfast is horrible is no option to eat cold egg or waffles maker is dirty, no coffee cup for night time we ask for her cup she was so rude, stuff look like never smile .
