My friend and I stayed here one night on a tour and we loved this hotel! The rooms were so nice and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and I would definitely return to this hotel again and again!! More

This is a very good Hilton Garden Inn close to the Ohio State University campus. The rooms are big, comfortable, and clean. The breakfast buffet is good and the staff is always friendly. The nice lobby offers enough space for small group meetings with colleagues. Hilton Honors privileges were immediately given without any need to ask. More

Stayed here for two nights last weekend on Hilton points. Front staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean with a small refrigerator and microwave which was great. Bed was very comfortable. Ate breakfast one morning in the hotel which was just ok. For $10.00 per person you order the hot food you want and help yourself to the... More

Best nights sleep my husband and I have ever had in any hotel! The sleep number beds were perfect! Neither one of us woke up once the entire night! We usually wake up numerous times at other hotels. That made our trip sooo much more enjoyable starting the day out well-rested! The room was so clean and comfortable! It was... More

Not sure what else you could ask for, if 4.5 stars we available, that's what I'd give it. Pretty much met or exceeded all expectations. Seems to have been recently renovated. Room was quiet (516). Room seemed clean and well enough appointed. Breakfast was really good and made to order along with plenty of a la carte options. Note that... More

Stayed here on a Saturday night using Hilton points. Very pleased with the hotel and services. Breakfast awas excellent, and the waitress was fantastic. Our bed was fine - not sure about the complaints about lumps - we didn't experience this. Don't hesitate staying here. I think the hotel was completely booked this weekend. More

Made reservations and paid in advanced only to discover our day of check in they wanted additional $50.00. The beds are horrible, not air adjustable as they leave you too believe. TV is nice size however the select few channels are mostly news. The bar and grill is in the lobby in the open, there is no relaxing atmosphere to... More

I stay in Hilton Properties all the time. Generally, this is a fine hotel and the location is great for business or while visiting the university. However both my business companion and I thought the beds were poor. We each had our own room so it wasn't a room specific issue. They were lumpy, soft and not your typical HGI... More

This is my favorite hotel when I stay in Columbus. Everything is clean throughout the hotel. The fitness equipment is well-maintained. The rooms have lots of outlets for my laptop and other devices, nice size desk. The beds are supremely comfortable, including sheets and pillows. It feels like a home away from home. I often bring food from home so... More

This hotel was a very big disappointment. My daughter and I stayed here for two nights during a visit to OSU. The room was dirty. Very dusty and there was some sort of dried, dripping stains on the inside of the bathroom door. My bed frame had a terrible squeak in it so everytime I moved the noise would wake... More
