Top Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"This room was super cool. It was a corner room, so as you walk in, you walk down a short hall and turn a corner to see the bed in it's own nook. There was a sofa bed as well, we didn't need it but thought that was pretty cool. Very nice bathroom. LOVED the shower. There was a fridge, LOTS of desk space and a coffee machine. NO microwave which was pretty sad. We ate at the restaurant in the lobby (which was EXCELLENT - asparagus soup, w prawns and grits...oh my gawd, it was so delicious) and we didn't save any leftovers due to not being able to heat them up. And then same for the second night, we ate down the street and couldn't eat our pasta leftovers when we came back from a late concert so we ended up leaving behind two expensive meals. The bed, and linens were VERY comfortable and soft. We slept great. Pillows tho... kinda hard. Not a fan. The staff were very friendly upon arrival. I would say the only disappointment in this hotel was that there was a lot of construction going on during our stay. The driveway/valet entrance/dropoff area was mostly blocked off, so rideshare would not drive up and we had to be dropped off and picked up on the street. We were on the 9th floor, but our view was completely obstructed by scaffolding and insulation hanging in front of our window, so that was a little sad as we wanted to look out at the buildings around us. We were going to a concert at the Shoe, and it wasn't a bad ride back and forth."

The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The lower bed was great to sit on and sleep on---very comfortable!! Although I did not have the opportunity to be acquainted with the roommates, nonetheless, they were both courteous and respectful. The room was slightly chilly---certainly Autumnal---the room was very comfortable and clean, and the room was not stuffy at all. A very restful experience. Breakfast was delicious, with a Bagel and Weetabix frosted cereal and lovely cold Peach Punch. It really filled the spot!! I enjoyed watching the colour TV with remote capabilities. The choice of Disney+ offerings was outstanding. The sofa was very comfortable in the main living room, and the plenty of electrical outlets helped me immensely with re-charging my flips. In essence, it was a very good stay with plenty of positive attributes to the property..."

Newly Renovated(D) OSU/Central ❤Near EVERYTHING!

10/10 Excellent

"Host Jessie is super responsive to questions and is willing and able to offer suggestions on what to do and where to go in the area. For four people, the unit is perfect and the accessibility is outstanding. It's clean and comfortable and it provided a good place for us to rest and recharge after a weekend full of action on the OSU campus. We'll definitely be back again. (And if you're driving, it's got dedicated, off-street parking that's only accessible with a pass. That is a huge plus in this area.)"
