Top Ohio State University Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus OSU

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Wonderful staff. Delicious breakfast. Spacious comfortable rooms"

SpringHill Suites Columbus OSU

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very comfortable place for a three night stay. Nice to have a king bed and a sofa. Also liked having a separate shower and sink room from the toilet room. My only complaint was with the mediocre breakfast buffet, which offered the same “Today’s Special” each day I was there. But that’s a minor complaint. I appreciated the staff moving me from the first floor to an upper floor when very noisy/happy soccer (or baseball?) players were partying loudly in the lobby bar area. I will stay here again. Very convenient to OSU campus and medical facilities."

Hyatt Regency Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great. I use a wheelchair and canes for mobility. The room was very accessible. But the bathroom sink did not have and hand holds around it, and was only held on the wall by the plumbing. Anyone with mobility issues is going to need something to lean on and eventually the sink and the plumbing are going to give way. There were plenty of hand hold bars in the bathtub but it was set up by someone who doesn’t have any experience with handicap accessibility. There were lots of handholds around the bathroom, but they were not practically placed. All the amenities were very nice though."
