Hotel's Favourite
Super friendly and helpful staff at the front desk, they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The facility is a bit dated, but is clean and kept up well. (It is currently being renovated tho.) We felt very secure there, you need a room key to enter the guest areas, even from the garage and elevators. The parking is very convenient, they have their own garage located underneath the guest rooms. Our room was clean, comfortable and well stocked.

We selected this hotel because of it's proximity to Nationwide Arena. It is just a few blocks away from the arena and my daughter and I felt safe walking the short distance without my husband. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a small suite. This meant that we had a small room with a couch and a table that was separated from our beds. The room smelled a little musty upon entry but was clean. This hotel is a little dated and the rooms are dimly lit. The carpeting is definitely a bit worn out, but overall the suite was nice because it gave our family an opportunity to spread out. We enjoyed the kickback happy hour both nights. The menu changed each night, but it always included a family favorite - fresh baked potatoes. Each adult was afforded two complimentary alcoholic drinks. We all tried the vodka cherry sour and really enjoyed them. The customer service was stellar across the board, particularly the manager on site. Every employee that we ran into was genuinely friendly and helpful. We noticed that our toilet wasn't flushing on the first night, so we notified the front desk before leaving at about 6pm. When we returned to our room just before midnight, we noticed that the problem was not resolved. The front desk employee was apologetic and was able to switch us to a nearby room. We were comped one night's stay for our trouble, which I thought was more than fair. There were numerous hot and cold breakfast options and the staff always did their best to refill stations that were running low. I was surprised that they brought out a new batch of fresh biscuits about 10 minutes before the end of the breakfast hour. The service staff in the lobby area were always friendly and helpful, even offering to throw out our trash when they noticed we had finished our plates. On site parking was easy, but the spaces were a little tight. That being said, we always found an available parking spot. Because many folks were attending the same event at Nationwide Arena, there were a few times that everyone appeared to be on the same schedule. That meant we had to wait a few times for one of the two elevators, but the wait never took more than five minutes or so. All in all, my family agreed that we would stay at this hotel again if we visit Downtown Columbus again. This hotel is well run and in the world of the pandemic, they've figured out how to keep their employees happy, who in turn make sure they're customers are happy. Nice job, folks!

Drury Inns have become our new go-to for moderate hotel accommodations. From arrival to departure, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Rooms are very clean, spacious and have those extra touches of luxury. Rooms are QUIET. Cost is higher than popular chains like Holiday Inn Express, however, considering how a decent dinner and excellent breakfast are provided on site, room rates are ultimately fairly comparable to the other chains.
Shoutout to the manager, Leslie. She is a true gem. Leslie is extremely welcoming and attentive--to everyone.

This hotel has a kind of vibe of its own. But with complimentary great buffet breakfast and dinner with 3 free drinks, as well as great rooms, it's really hard to beat. I never seen a greater mix of rooms of various sizes and configurations even before they get up to the suite level. Everything is updated. With free wi-fi, indoor - outdoor pool, workout room, large lounge in the front lobby where you can relax with friends adjacent to the eating area. All and all it's a good offering for a moderate price!

We stayed one night so our son could attend the Freshman Admit event at the Ohio State University. We chose Drury Hotel at the heart of Columbus city so our son could catch the glimpse of city light and have a feel of what to expect if he comes to the city. The hotel was clean and secure. We were pleasantly surprised at the free light dinner. The $18 parking fee at the hotel was reasonable given its down-town location.
The staff was supportive and friendly. The assistant manager, Nate Gilman, was super helpful when we inquired about changing the room as our son was allergic to noise and dust pollutants from passing cars. He also whole-heartedly helped a family when one of their children spilled liquids on the dining floor. We are much impressed with the service and plan to continue booking this hotel for our next trip to Columbus !

The carpeting in our room was badly stained in multiple areas. We were given a handicap-equipped room which wasn't bad but the shower water ran all over the entire bathroom floor. Had to wipe that up myself. Fitness room is small and with limited machines - no bicycle. Our room must have been located to some kind of pump or machine because there were occasional loud noises during the night. breakfast was not all that healthy - scrambled eggs, sausage and sausage and gravy. there were bananas available and cereals; however,coffee was actually quite good. Drinks in the evening "pop up" bar were ok. I did not report any of these issues to the managers because I didn't want to sound picky. we only stayed 2 nights and chose this particular hotel for its location and ease of walking to other destinations in the city.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a volleyball tournament at the convention center, which is attached to the hotel and very convenient for quick access. Covered parking garage underneath hotel as well for a nominal fee was very helpful. Hotel was very clean, all staff was very friendly and welcoming. They even started breakfast an hour early to accommodate everyone who was there for the tournament! Also they have a evening drinks and light food from 5:30-7pm which was nice. I asked for a quiet room and it was provided to me which I appreciate. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

We stayed at the hotel on Aug 26th and started off not so we'll. We arrived at the hotel before check in time. The room was not ready which was ok we understood and the staff was so kind and so was the management. The reason we had to wait was a inconsiderate guest wouldn't check out until very late. The room we wanted they occupied. We finally had our room ready and the previous inconsiderate guest smoked in a non-smoking room. So it smelled of smoke. Though housekeeping did a great job trying to make it better and clean. We love Drury Suites because they are always so nice and clean and wonderful staff. Even the free dinner Buffet with drinks is very nice. The staff working were great. Plus they have a very good bkfast buffet. The Management made our trip very nice and the smoke issue was no fault of there's. I hope the $250.00 cleaning fee for smoking was charged to the people for smoking in the room. I highly recommend this hotel.

I have stayed at several brand hotels over the last 5 years for concerts. So far for the value this hotel can't be beat. The guest room was extremely clean I am talking no dust, no smell, no looking like it needed updates. I was able to walk to the venue very easily. The staff was friendly. The free snack in the evening and the breakfast were great! I was able to order from the bar late at night to fix my hunger issues and the food was worth the price. I also really like the elevators take you to the parking garage where you can take your time unloading. Already looking for a Drury near my next concert in January.

We were traveling through Ohio a few weeks ago. Not many places to stay as most chain hotels were closed. Drury staff made us feel comfortable, they went over the top to met our needs and accommodate us due to Tornado warning and riots in the city a few days prior. The food was great! We were able to reserve time in the pool and hot tub, which were very clean. I would tightly recommend this hotel!
