No breakfast

I always stay here when I go to Columbus for business but you have to pay for breakfast. I always skip their breakfast and go to Burger King in the morning. I just like it that they have the select number beds that you can adjust the firmness of the bed.

Great Location

We were traveling home after a series of campus visits on the East Coast. The Hotel was very close to Ohio State, so we drove there for a quick look around. There were plenty of places to eat near the hotel. The rooms were quiet an comortable.

There was alot of highway closures due to construction (July 2010) so be sure to use your GPS, or check on the latest closures. It took us alot longer than expected to get out of town from the hotel.

Nice Hotel

We had a good time and the pool and gym were nice. It is only a few blocks from all of Ohio State University events without the crowded streets.

Great for OSU parents

We thought the hotel was great -- clean and very well maintained. I was surprised that there was not a continental breakfast included in the price, however; breakfast was available for a cost of about $10.

Great hotel!

This hotel was nicer than many luxury hotels I've stayed in. It was very clean; the people were very friendly; and it was very close to the Schottenstein Center, the reason for my trip. I'll go back to this hotel!

Great staff

The hotel was really nice. I was impressed with every staff member that we had contact with, Front desk, cleaning and restaurant. Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I purchased a set of their pillows when returned. They are terrific.

Convenient and Friendly

The Hilton Garden Inn Columbus was a positive experience for my business trip. The room was comfortable and the desk with wireless connection worked out great. I had plenty of room to spread out what I was working on and didn?t feel pressed for space. I used the business center located on the first floor to print out several documents including my return boarding pass for the flight the next day. This saved me time at the airport from standing in line for this document. The breakfast that I had was wonderful. I started out each day with a loaded omelet, fruit, and juice. I was pleasantly surprised.

very nice, clean hotel

We stayed here as it was close to the OSU campus and getting taxi's were no issue. The beds were a little hard, but we had a great stay and would stay again.
