They were very accomodating. The "suites" are not suites. They are a king bed with a pull out couch. There is no extra room at all. Breakfast was good - but they take it away at EXACTLY 9:30 a.m. They also start cleaning up immediately - we finished our coffee with a vacuum parked next to us. She was not... More

My husband and I were looking for an inexpensive but decent place to stay for one night in Columbus and selected this hotel based on price + reviews. The hotel is conveniently located at the junction of major highways, but is in a dreary and seedy-looking area that's pretty devoid of businesses other than one Wendy's right next door to... More

This is our 3rd Holiday Inn where we've stayed in the past 4 months that is undergoing repairs. We checked in with a VERY helpful front desk associate, Greg. He was the highlight of our stay. Kudos for your hard work and efficiency. Holiday Inn is lucky to have you for an employee. When we walked into our guest room,... More

I stayed at this Holiday Inn for business and I would not recommend the area or the hotel; do not let the picture fool you. The hotel is only a few blocks away from parts of town, which an out of Towner would not know about until you get there and speak to people and see for yourself. The hotel... More

Booked room over the Thanksgiving holiday when my wife and I were visiting relatives in Columbus. The Inn is only a block off of I-71 and looked new, and it was clean and the staff was friendly. Not much of a view but it is convenient to I-71 but the noise level from the highway was negligible. We stayed on... More

I cancelled my reservation at the Holiday Inn on September 9. On their website it clearly states that you must cancel within 48 hours. I clearly cancelled with MORE... More

The rooms were ok. Nothing to brag about. No towels. No phone. Housekeeping was very friendly though. The only great thing about the hotel was that I could open my window and hear Brad Paisley sing on stage at the Crew Stadium next door.
