Hyatt Place Columbus/Worthington

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to get around Columbus and restaurants and bars very convenient!! A must stay for the price and staff!!"

Wyndham Columbus

8/10 Good

"I've been to this particular location twice, coming from out of town, and overall, not too bad for the price.. Location is convenient and safe for everyone, especially out of towners. At least I got to use jacuzzi this go round as opposed to the first time (last year) when it was shut down. You get what you pay for. "

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus Airport Area

2/10 Terrible

"The whole facility was filthy. The beds were covered in stains, dog hair, and crumbs. The carpets were covered in filth. The shower had black mold in it. And the whole place smelled like cigarettes, marijuana, and mildew. We checked out 30 minutes after we checked in. We were supposed to stay for two nights. The receptionist was extremely unhelpful and rude. We are still fighting for a refund."
