Top Southern Theater Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was seemed to have gone through a recent renovation as interior was new with classic touch. Main room was clean well maintained. Bathroom clean and well maintained with the exception of the shower as the grout and overall stall needed a more professional approach to the finishes. Hotel pool and spa utilized. The second morning went to spa it was over chlorinated as it immediately removed the color from my suit and my spouses."

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place is amazing! They had a snack hour with free drinks (3), a pool, a hot tub. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay."

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"This is my 3rd time staying here! Each stay has been great for our concerts at nationwide arena right outside. Hotel is clean, updated, staff is helpful, & the bar/restaurant is wonderful! However, the last time we stayed recently, I booked the Deluxe king bed suite & was told at check in that I had to settle for 2 queen beds because they ran out of king beds. I have always raved about this hotel but that was a a bit disappointing. Overall, great place to stay if you are going to an event nearby."
