The hotel itself was very nice. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was usual HIE fare. The neighborhood was iffy. Razor wire and bars on stores across the street. Some reviews said it is college housing nearby. That may be true, but this being summer, I felt the area was not the best. I would not stay... more

Stayed a single night while on business in the area. Clerk offered to recommend restaurants for dinner in the area; she was knowledgeable enough to send me to an outstanding ethnic eatery place and even printed directions for me. Room was fresh and clean, not noisy, appliances functioned just fine, had a restful night's sleep. Manager and all staff I... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times and have always felt safe and welcome. Surrounding areas are part of student housing and may look unsafe, however, campus assures safety of students. I have stayed at several hotels in the Columbus area and will highly recommend this location. The front desk and staff are always friendly and very willing to... more

The hotel is not located in the best part of town, and seems to be a bit less than what I'd expect from the Holidy Inn brand. Parking is poor and doesn't look very secure (at least a fence along the street would be nice). There is an indoor pool but the excercise equipment in the gym isn't kept up... more

I'm sorry that we fell short of your expectations, we strive to make every stay with us an enjoyable one. Our hotel is located in an urban campus housing environment. We do have plans to install a fence along the street but that will not be completed till later in the year if all goes as planned. We at the...

We were booked here through Hotwire and found the location perfectly suited to our needs. I was a bit surprised at the 3 star rating. I stayed at the HI-X at Sunnyside-Queens a couple of years ago and think that was 2.5. [Shrug.] At any rate, the staff were unfailingly polite and friendly, and the premises were clean and comfortable.... more

we stay at hotels at least 12 times a year for work... i'm a 31 yr old female, traveling with my 65 yr old mother... after driving around the hotel's tiny parking lot looking for a space large enough to hold our 12ft box truck (parking lots is ridiculously small- no room for oversized vehicles), we finally decided to back... more

My wife and I were taking a road trip from Kansas city to Cleveland and we stayed one night at this hotel. I chose this particular hotel because my family usually stays in Holiday Inn's whenever we need to stay in a hotel, and it was right off of I-71. Check-in went very smoothly, the front desk staff were all... more

We thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey. A lot of the negative feed back we had received was under previous management. That has since changed by the time you had come to stay with us. We do value your opinion and hope to see you again soon. Sincerely Guest Service Manager Karl

I've stayed at over 50 holiday inn expresses over the years. Some have been okay some have been exceptional. First off this was horrible. I wanted to cry upon arival. This place is NOT in a good area. If you are a single female traveling by yourself, by no means stay here, especially if you are by yourself and arriving... more

I have stayed in many holiday inn expresses and this is the worst so far. Bathroom was dirty, items from the last occupant were left in my room, and cigarette smoke smell was present in the hallways. Do not stay here and don't think that all holiday inn expresses are like this. more

Shoddy area

First of all, the area is questionable. It was recommended that I not go out running by myself at any time. The hotel is ok. I requested a non smoking room, but got one that reeks of smoke. I don't know if it's just been switched to a non smoking room, but was told there were few non smoking rooms... more
