Top Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is showing its age, but it’s very clean. Now let’s talk about the shower…I would buy a room here just for the shower pressure. I imagine it’s comparable to standing under Niagara Falls, mist included. Whatever wrong you find here, this fact alone should right it. Just be sure to pull that knob hard."

Big Group Getaway Near OSU with 6BR, 8 Beds, 5-Car Parking

8/10 Good

"Owner communication was great. The living room tv remote was missing. We had one in hand within an hour. The building was good for campus property. It’s an old building so there are some superficial blemishes. Utilities were all great. Proximity to railroad tracks was a slight issue as trains ran Friday night. Ok after. We selected this property for the size and location. For that it was great."

Winterfell Barcade - OSU Home in Weinland Park/Short North

8/10 Good

"Two parking spaces off the alley plus street parking. Location is close to downtown.Fun Game of Thrones decor. Nice Keurig. Fenced backyard. Only 1 bathroom, but with modern shower and plenty of hot water. Dishwasher. No laundry washer and dryer.Host was very responsive to questions and a request."
