Top Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to everything in town"

★★ The Red Lion ★★. OSU British Pubcade Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The house is exactly as they list it. Convenient location to the Quarter Horse Congress. Good parking in the back."

Olentangy Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Great motel for our one night stay in Columbus for the US Open Cup Final! Room was clean and the breakfast sandwiches were a great quick breakfast!"

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and the furnishings unblemished. The facility itself is beautifully kept and stylishly decorated. The location is superb, whether you are attending a conference, a sports event, or just visiting. At any price, valet parking and an integral, secure indoor garage is a huge plus in that neighborhood. Do not miss a chance to have breakfast at the hotel either -- prices are decent for the area -- as we found the food and the service to be excellent."

Winterfell Barcade - OSU Home in Weinland Park/Short North

10/10 Excellent

"Great house within close proximity to Ohio State campus. Highly recommend."

★★ Gondor ★★. OSU Dragon Castle Barcade

10/10 Excellent

"Sam is very responsive. The shampoo and soap were low in the bathrooms but he had som there within an hour or two. Great value with unique interior design."

Newly Renovated(D) OSU/Central ❤Near EVERYTHING!

10/10 Excellent

"Host Jessie is super responsive to questions and is willing and able to offer suggestions on what to do and where to go in the area. For four people, the unit is perfect and the accessibility is outstanding. It's clean and comfortable and it provided a good place for us to rest and recharge after a weekend full of action on the OSU campus. We'll definitely be back again. (And if you're driving, it's got dedicated, off-street parking that's only accessible with a pass. That is a huge plus in this area.)"

English Court Barcade: OSU home in Weinland Park/Short North

10/10 Excellent

"It was cool and different. The only thing that stunk was the dog next door never stopped barking. But it's not the property owners fault. Other than that fun place to stay."
