Top Ohio State University Hotel Reviews

The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Clean, quiet and comfortable room. The catch with this hotel is you must either park in the parking garage across the street for $20.00 and then drag all of your luggage to the hotel or pay $35.00 for valet parking with in/out privileges."

Hilton Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had the best time saw a concert at nationwide arena and we were able to just walk it was perfect!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbus OSU

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great. Separate controls for the bedroom and living room. Separate bathroom from the bedroom. Hot breakfast, assortment of bagels, muffins, milks, fruit, oatmeal, coffee, teas. hot tub worked and was clean. Would be nice if the pool stayed open longer. The front doors were automatic. The staff was very helpful, and friendly no matter how many times I asked them for things. There was plenty of free parking. The sofa bed was comfortable and clean. The room was quiet. There were no odors, no one making noise in the hallways or the parking lot. This is an exceptional hotel."

Olentangy Motor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"One of my favorite places to stay. Great location, close to downtown and OSU. My room was very comfortable. The shower and bathroom are really nice. Nice shower soaps. They clean the room every day."

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

8/10 Good

"This is my 3rd time staying here! Each stay has been great for our concerts at nationwide arena right outside. Hotel is clean, updated, staff is helpful, & the bar/restaurant is wonderful! However, the last time we stayed recently, I booked the Deluxe king bed suite & was told at check in that I had to settle for 2 queen beds because they ran out of king beds. I have always raved about this hotel but that was a a bit disappointing. Overall, great place to stay if you are going to an event nearby."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus-Ohio State University OSU

8/10 Good

"Great location for OSU"

★ Puppy Christmas ★ Private Home Near OSU ★

10/10 Excellent

"Was a fun, quirky place to stay! Host answered all communications very quickly."

Lady Pilot, Old North Columbus - Lovely 3-bedroom home, steps to OSU!

10/10 Excellent

"What a delightful house! Property was super clean and very spacious! Perfect amount of beds for our party of 7. Beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows (better than hotel rooms). Easy secure access, outside cameras with 4 views of the property that you can view right from inside the house. Driveway in the ally so you don't have to search for on street parking. Very kid friendly as there is a fooseball table, arcade machine (street fighter!), and darts. Wifi was excellent! Kids had no problems on their devices while we streamed movies from the living room. Plenty of comfortable seating in living room so none of our party had to sit on the floor. The bedrooms were also super spacious! The pictures don't do them justice. Host was amazing and let me last minute add a dog to the group (dog friendly here). Yard was fenced in all around making it nice to let the pup outside without worrying about a leash. We only stayed for a short amount of time but I would definitely come back for a longer stay. Really close (walking distance) to many restaurants (Hound Dog Pizza!). Thank you for letting us stay!"

Gorgeous 4brm/3bath home in Old North

8/10 Good

"Overall a great place to stay. Only issue was, there's only 1 TV in the whole house. All rooms and bathrooms were in great shape. It accommodates 8 adults very well."
