Red Roof Inn Columbus - Grove City

10/10 Excellent

"Nice please. Very clean easy to find. I was very impressed."

Wyndham Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"When I arrived to my room. It was spotless but as I moved closer to the curtains there appeared to be stains. The shower was amazing! You will not want to get out. There was no breakfast served due to the kitchen being under renovation. The staff was amazing!!! Parking was kind of a hassle but turns out wherever your room is there is a door that you could access to get to your room. The hot tub was being worked on when we arrived. I wish I had enough time to explore all the amenities that were offered. It took my child to find the microwave and refrigerator so please make sure you look in the cabinets underneath the tv for the refrigerator and microwave lol. I will be returning to enjoy what I missed"

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to South Side?

The best time to visit South Side, Ohio, is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

These seasons offer pleasant weather, making it ideal for exploring the area's outdoor attractions and enjoying its unique cultural offerings. Spring brings blooming flowers and comfortable temperatures, great for strolling through the local parks or attending outdoor events. Autumn provides crisp air and beautiful foliage, especially along the riverfront, creating a picturesque backdrop for your visit.
