Top Ohio State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

Drury Plaza Hotel Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely outstanding! I travelled solo, and the safety of this property was exceptional. No one can get into the parking garage or elevators without a room key. Luggage carts in the garage, took it right over to my car and then right into the elevator and up to my room. The room was HUGE!!!! Free breakfast and dinner buffet that was delicious. Free drinks in the evening, if you drink alcohol. Super safe and clean, indoor and outdoor pool and patio, hot tub too. Literally hands down the best property I have ever stayed at. Staff was superb!!!!"
