Easy choice near Ohio State

Comfortable and convenient at a good price. Location near OSU and 315 (local highway) made driving easy to many city locations. Free breakfast was better than other similar hotel chains, and room was cleaned well every day. Would definitely stay there again.

Great hotel and value

Staying in Columbus for the weekend, I wanted a clean, conveniently located, and reasonably priced hotel. This Holiday Inn Express was perfect. The room was spotlessly clean, the (included) breakfast was delicious, plus there was an exercise room, pool, and whirlpool. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.

Holiday inn OSU

This was a very clean hotel and room set up nice. However the front rooms are very noisy with traffic. For a little more quiet ask for a room in the back of the hotel off the street side.

Football game visit!!

We came down for the Ohio State Football Game. It was a great hotel and very clean. Looks almost brand new. The location was great for the game about a 10 minute walk to the stadium but tons of people were walking. The wireless Internet codes did not work for us and we tried 2 different times but decided to stop trying to get it to work. Other then that it was a great trip!

Awesome Girls Trip

We drove almost four hours to see a show, and on our way in our exit was closed. The wonderful staff at the hotel directed us right to the hotel. Without them we would have been so lost. Upon arrival they had a room ready to go for us even though we were early. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Our stay was great!

Good for business travel

The hotel is updated and clean with very friendly staff. Convenient location to campus, downtown, and local restaurants, Wi-Fi included. The morning complimentary breakfast was more than I had expected. Only one complaint. The hallways were quite noisy with other guests coming and going. Mostly younger people. While I was away, I put a Do Not Disturb on my door. When I returned, my room had been cleaned and my DND sign was missing. (Probably a prank by another guest). The desk staff apologized for the occurrence. (it wasn't their fault). Next time, I will put my sign out and make a call to the desk to be sure they know not to clean the room. This was my second stay. I will definitely stay again and recommend to a friend.
