"This condo is in the heart of the city but is pretty quiet and felt pretty safe. The owner did keep it well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. The bed and the couch were comfortable too. We were attending a convention and took the easy walk there and back every day (multiple times on a couple of days). It was about a 10 to 15 minute walk on level ground with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars along the way."

Top Short North Hotel Reviews

Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Great size clean room"

Jungle House Studio Suites – Short North & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Fantastic restaurants and coffee shops close by. Beautiful city park in walking distance. Inside was cozy. While there was a laptop table, a bistro table and chair would have been perfect. Very impressed overall."

Holiday Inn Columbus Dwtn-Capitol Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in downtown and convenient to many restaurants and businesses. It is also within walking distance to a number of attractions. It has its own restaurant where we enjoyed a good, reasonably priced breakfast and drinks in the evening. The Woodbury restaurant next door was excellent and offered a second dining option within steps. The hotel has a large, easily accessible parking lot for a small fee. The large room was clean and very quiet at night, and the bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. The bathroom was a bit small but had plenty of towels and amenities. The only negative was that we used the service elevator throughout the day because the other elevators did not seem to be running."
