Everything is good. Only thing is there is an odd strong smell at the entrance. Whole night work going on and noise.

Ant and bug infestation.

Overall very happy with the Hotel. Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel and room was clean, very nice. Close to fairgrounds and the columbus soccer stadium, convenient access to the highways to get there. My negatives were that the breakfast wasn't not up to Holiday Inn Express standard. The neighborhood near the hotel wasn't nice.

Very nice and clean, and friendly staff even though they seem to be short in staff due to pandemic gym and pool where closed and no wonderful breakfast as usual. Wish I had known. But overall nice experience great service

This hotel is amazing! Looks of the area is very deceiving and has nothing to do with this hotel its very clean, staff super nice, not noisy, breakfast good(jus have to get up early 4 it 6a-9a),the renovation were done very well, beds the most comfortable ive ever sleep in a hotel, the bathroom lighting is to die for(great for doing make up), u have a fridge, microwave, a keurig(not a average coffee maker), a nice big tv(perfectly hung in from of the bed), shampoo/conditioner/makeup remover wipe/body wash, and they also have darkening blind that even in the daytime it can be night in ur room i loved it because im not big on light i will definitely be back

This is a newer property however the location could not be worse, lots of undesirables in the area. Street walkers, druggies etc. Add the smell of weed and the face that you could hear every food step in the building from your room and I would not recommend this place. ON the up side, there is a hot breakfast every morning, a heated pool and pretty friendly staff.

Holiday Inn Express are always decent hotels for the price. I would stay here again.

The bed was really wonderful, I love the cleanliness of the restroom and the whole room in itself

It's wasn't the nicest holiday inn I've ever been in. The neighborhood is less than desirable as well.

Awesome staff, clean rooms, and walking distance to see the Crew. Great stay.

Nice hotel for your trip to the Columbus Crew Stadium.

Stayed here for rock on the range 2014 perfect location for the show it's only 1/2 mile away and you can walk faster than the cars in and out of the venue the only downside I had for the location of this property is there is the only place to eat iWendy's

Pleasant staff. Clean. Lots of breakfast choices. Free wi-fi. Indoor pool. People leaving the pool walk out into the carpeted hallway leading to the elevator. The carpet and elevator floor are always wet. Only one elevator made for some very long waits coming and going.

This hotel is clean and safe with a reasonable price.

My daughter, granddaughter and I came to Columbus for the Equine Affiare. The hotel was easy to get to, but parking was tight as there were some trucks with trailers which took up a few spots each. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the rooms were clean and quiet, and the breakfast was good. The only complaint I would have with this hotel is having only 1 elevator. This made for a long wait as the hotel was full the 2 nights we were there. Overall, a great place for the money

Had it not been for the heard of hephalumps above me from 11 pm -2 am each of my three days, and the blaring TV from across the hall, this would have been a great stay. As it was, there was little that could be done with the noisy neighbors, and they really detracted from any otherwise pleasant stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was as expected...just louder than I needed.

Everything was pretty average except for two things. 1. The front desk clerk was outstandingly helpful with information I needed regarding the concert I was attending -- 5 stars. 2. Either the ceiling was thin or the kids upstairs were jumping off the beds -- 1 star on that front.

Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry about the odd smell, hopefully it was just the construction, and had nothing to do with the hotel cleanliness.
