- MHMark Hasiak2 days ago4.0Fairly happy with our experience here. Came in to town with friends to visit the city for a quick weekend and we all selected this hotel. Staff was friendly…was put off by the parking fee alerting us to the fact that the area is having issues with cars being broken into. I didn’t mind paying it, was just a bit of a surprise. Room was nice and clean, beds comfortable. Bathroom floor and trim could have used an update. Grout and caulk was pretty bad. Not enough to complain…I’ve certainly stayed in worse. Pool and hot tub were nice.
- FRFrancisco E. Rodriguez3 days ago5.0Barbie took great care of us during our stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Columbus. She greeted us with real hospitality and made sure we had what we needed. Her attention and positive attitude made the visit comfortable from the start. We appreciated her service and would gladly stay here again because of it.
- KLKurt LangNov 16, 20255.0We stayed here for weekend, up from cleveland. The room was beautiful. We had a jacuzzi in the room. They were extremely clean. Barb, at the front desk was amazing. She was extremely friendly and helped us with getting checked in last minute. One of the best holiday inns we've stayed at
- TLTiffany LittleNov 14, 20251.0Booked and paid for a room through a 3rd party site but the guy at the front desk charged us for our room too on top of the deposit. We tried to get it resolved before check out but the lady at the desk said she didn't know why he did that but wouldn't check us out till she talked to him. We have talked to different people in the phone twice and nothing seems resolved. It has been over a week and we haven't even received our deposit let alone the double charge for one night. They keep saying 7-10 days to get our money back. Idek what's going on over there. We also asked for an email confirmation of our refund and all that but were told they can't do that since we booked 3rd party. Would not recommend but if you have to book here don't do 3rd party cause these guys will be shady about that. I suggest everyone check ALL the reviews here.
- AAACOct 26, 20252.0Overall I would not stay here again for several reasons. The rooms themselves have very thin walls and you can hear people having a normal conversation next door. If a guest enters their room and lets the door close, you can feel and hear it from several rooms away. Rooms facing the street also get a lot of noise. The AC/heater unit is very loud. So if you are looking for a quiet place to relax, this is not it. I am not sure why this happens but this is the second Holiday Inn Express where I notice a significant smell attaching to my clothes when I go to the dining area. It is quite pungent. The food itself was good. As far as cleanliness goes, I have mixed feelings on this. The room itself is clean. The sheets are clean and there is a kitchenette area with a microwave and fridge which was clean. However the bathroom, which lacks a fan, had some mold on the ceiling and the toilet had some specks and hair where the seat attaches to the base. They also charge a daily parking fee if you booked through a third party vendor. We had no issues with security concerns while there. On the plus side, the staff were very nice.
