Hyatt Place Columbus/Worthington

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was good very"

Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean. We did not have breakfast there. The staff was OK. They didn't ask if we used the valet for the car (which we had) and they did not give us information on the internet access in the room, we had to call down to the front desk for information that seemed to be lacking. I would have liked a map of the casino with locations of restaurants, etc."

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

8/10 Good

"On business travel trip. Checked in late. Went to first room and found that neighbor was VERY loud and key didn’t work, Front desk easily moved us rooms and apologized. Got into second room without trouble. Its deadbolt didn’t work. Door lock did though so we were fine. Room was clean. Sheets and towels clean and soft. 2 pillow choices. Towel rack was broken but towels were rolled neatly and again they were big and fluffy so we didn’t care about rack. However, there was NO toilet paper in the room and we had to use generic tissues (not soft like Kleenex) when we went to bathroom. Place is a huge maze of rooms. Ice machine nearest us was a long walk and it was busted. Found another one an even LONGER ways away and it worked. Not convenient but we got ice at least. Hallways throughout need carpets power scrubbed for stains but they had been vacuumed. Truck and goose neck trailer were parked in well lit area and it felt safe. Easy access form 70. Good for overnight stay. Wouldn’t choose for long stay. For $105 a night what do you expect these days really? It was fine."
