Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbus Airport

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay overnight. I wish we needed to be close to the airport for longer. The staff were amazing!! All of them we encountered. Super helpful. Clean, quiet rooms, comfortable bed, really good breakfast. I was worried it would be noisy with the runway so close but I didn’t hear a thing. Above all, the staff would bring me back."

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Worthington

8/10 Good

"The room I was in was clean and comfortable, however the courtyard and landscaping could use some attention and updating but All together the property was nice. The staff were very nice and friendly, the pool was clean and is salt water filtered which I was very impressed with! I would give it a 4 on a scale of 1-5. Family friendly, I would stay there again!"
