Comfortable clean and quiet. Good location
very clean
Would stay again
Stay was nice. Clean. Close to OSU
Nice clean room
.
Always come back when in town for training at OSU.
I love the hotel. My only recommendation is you should include the breakfast buffet. Most of the hotels by the university include the breakfast buffet. Overall I love the hotel.
No housekeeping for 4 days. piled up wet and dirty towels. Bed not made. Trash buildup. Ran out of toilet paper and coffee pods. Had to go down to front desk 3 times for towels, cups and then toilet paper. Asked desk 2 days in a row to have housekeeping come and freshen up the room. Never came by
Staff was very nice and helpful. Place was vlean. Housekeeping could use an upgrade.
Great atmosphere, clean and love the front dining area for that morning start.
Clean , nice people
Location was great. We were looking for something close to OSU campus and this hotel was convenient. Staff were friendly and check in was easy. Hotel common areas and room was very clean. It was a busy weekend at OSU and the hotel handled to influx of people well. Would book again here
Good
Friendly staff Clean
I would never stay at this property for any reason.
The property is well kept and parking well lite.
My in-laws live a few minutes away and this is one of our go-to hotel locations. We always have a pleasant stay here.
Was not able to attend the event due to the event cancelation and was not offered a refund
Great stay
Thumbs up!
My room was excellent- very clean, plenty of towels and toiletries and walking distance to several restaurants. Location is great. Definitely will stay here again
Enjoyed our stay. Would stay there again if we were in the area.
Comfortable stay !
Easy check in check out , clean , quiet area !
I was very happy with our stay. The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The only issue I had was that there were no free breakfast options and it was not made entirely clear upon check in. We were told the breakfast times, which made it seem that it was included. I was told when I went down to breakfast that it was a $9 minimum and is ordered off their menu. I just would have appreciated this information from the beginning. I also thought it would be even more accommodating if there were continental breakfast options offered complimentary and then bacon, eggs etc for a cost. I was happy that there was coffee.
May 2024
It was good. The breakfasr is a little too expensive for the quality. Other chains serve the same for free. I've paid less for a room with breakfast. You did offer free coffee, but it was usually empty. The room was good. Clean. My husband is disabled and the ADA amenities worked well. Wheelchair space and bars/seat in bathroom.
It is very convenient and quiet Nice lobby and rooms
We started for 2 nights. After the first night, we saw that someone’s window had been smashed. This is a known problem in the area (break ins) - every time I stay in the area, I know of someone whose window has been smashed. Do not leave anything valuable or anything that looks like it may be valuable in your car. I wish the hotels would come together to offer overnight patrol. BC they do not, it continues to happen.
Great!
I always stay here for the Ohio State Spring football game. It is such a great hotel.
Lame that breakfast cost $10-15 but otherwise great!
Great stay
Absolutely awful
The room was not clean, especially the bathroom. There were stains everywhere. There were hairs in the towels. The pillows and beds were the worst we have ever encountered; we had two sleepless nights because they were so uncomfortable. This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at.
Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Staff was nice.
We were in Columbus OH for a funeral for a family member. The staff was very caring and helped us in any way they could. The rooms were neat and clean. The hallways were quiet at night. It was an enjoyable stay under the circumstances.
Room needed to be updated
Loved the hotel, hated the water pressure.
Great stay
I really liked ten staff, cleanliness and that food was close by to fill our bellies from places that aren’t available where we live.
You have to pay for meals, and water separately. Continental breakfast is not free...
Great Experience
Very nice property. Elegant. Clean.
Bathroom walls were yellow and gross. Shower was rusty and old. Chocolate stains and crumbs on chair as soon as we came in. Room was 80 plus degrees and was way to hot upon arrival.
Good visit with family
Hotel is fantastic. Excellent breakfast options. All staff friendly and helpful.
same as before - for better or worse
I used to frequent the Hilton Garden Inn in the past, and I recently returned there, and found the hotel pretty much the same. The double queen bed room was spacious and clean, but with some visible wear and tear. A noisy fridge that I had to disconnect, the same cheap coffee maker and microwave that have seen better days. The gym definitely needs an update. Overall, still a fine place to stay, but there are many new alternatives in the area that I may try next time.
Two glitches in an otherwise good stay
We've stayed here many times. There were 2 glitches this time. (1) The 2 lights above the shelf between the beds did not work. (2) The alarm clock in the unoccupied room next door went off very early. There was no one to turn it off. I have told the desk clerk before to have the maids turn off all alarm settings, but that policy apparently is not being universally followed.
Great hotel staff and facility
Staff were friendly and helpful. Great visit!
Hotel and stay we're fine...breakfast was odd...
My father had an appt at Riverside hospital and we had to be there by 7:30am so we drove to town the night before and stayed here. Getting checked in was a breeze, the room was very nice. We went down for breakfast and there was a sign that said seat yourself and breakfast was $8 and up. Fine, I have zero problem paying for breakfast....but you could only serve yourself basically the cold food, if you wanted bacon, eggs, waffles or whatever you had to order them from a waiter. We asked for 2 orders of bacon and I think we probably got most of a pound of bacon between the 2 of us. It was setup like a buffet but all the hot stuff was covered up and only the waiter could get it. It was a very strange experience.
The staff was friendly from check-in to check out. Our room was probably one of the cleanest hotel rooms I have visited.
Clean. Good price. Easy check on and out.
Columbus Trip near OSU
We enjoyed our weekend trip in Columbus. The hotel was convenient for our activities at The Ohio State University.
Convenient location for OSU football game. Probably could have walked, but grabbed an Uber to High Street. I would stay here again.
Enjoyed the stay thoroughly ....
The late evening desk manager was very welcoming when we arrived.
Clean, comfortable and quiet with friendly service
The facility was clean. Lobby very inviting. Lots of light in parking lot. Room very clean.
Conveniently located. Only stayed one night, but all staff were friendly, professional and did their job with a smile. I would definitely stay there again.
Expedia does not interface with their booking
Clean and good service but the internet was terrible even with Hilton Honors and the beds and pillows were the most uncomfortable I have come across.
Check in was quick and staff was friendly and helpful. Clean room and comfortable bed made my stay enjoyable.
Strange smell on the property
Quiet and clean, close to the university. Breakfast is a little different with a sit down restaurant but we had tickets for a free breakfast.
plenty of safe parking
The room needs an alarm clock.
The hotel experience was great staff are very friendly. The only problem I had was we booked a pet friendly hotel online not knowing pet friendly means an extra $ 75 for the stay .
Very nice hotel. Very clean very friendly. I would stay there again.
good
the hotel is minutes away from Ohio State, which was perfect for us.
Seems like hotel property is nice but leading into it and immediately around it seems unkept and closed down boarded up.
Na
Always amazing. Best staff, friendly and helpful with great personalities. Clean, convenient and very accommodating. We’ll be back next year!
Awesome room, loved the tile flooring and sleek design!
?
I like this hotel. It’s right across the river from the Olentangy river bike path
Nothing was unique. It is a basic hotel with limited entertainment options.
Clean assessable affordable
None
Clean spacious updated and comfortable
Room was updated King with a ton of room. Bathroom was large as well. Check in and check out Service was quick. No chit chat, just down to business, which was fine. Hotel was clean and very spacious. I didn’t take advantage of the breakfast or other food on property so no opinion on that. Very nice and comfortable stay.
I didn't like being double billed and having to fight with 6 different people to get a credit. AND be told it was my fault which was not it was an error from front desk. They didn't understand the third-party authorization form.
Very nice place
Great hotel! Close to campus, friendly staff, and very clean!
We stayed at a different hotel a few weeks ago and decided to try something else. I’m sure glad we did. This hotel was fabulous!
Only thing it missed was a hot tub
Extremely clean and spacious rooms. Very friendly staff (front desk and breakfast).
Very pleasant staff was amazingly friendly and very helpful
Dawn is a super awesome manager. She went up to my room and found my jewelry and sent it back to me immediately. Thanks Dawn
First time staying there and it won't be the last. Very short commute to our tailgate which was a first for us. Very friendly staff and cleanliness was amazing.
Wonderful stay at Hilton Garden Inn
Had a wonderful stay here while I and my wife were visiting our Son who is a student at OSU, Columbus. Had been staying here the last 3 years, and will definitely stay here during my future visits as well.
Friendly staff
We needed a hotel close to the airport. The hotel is fine. Our bathroom shower was gross. The room was fine.
Told I could still stay at property with Covid. Absolutely insane.
We stayed in Columbus for a Joe Rogan show. Hotel was comfortable, super clean, and within walking distance from the Venue. The staff was awesome and super friendly.
Convenient for what we were doing
nice comfy rooms, huge parking area, 2 mi from buckeye stadium, restaurant inside and right outside is a great Bob Evans diner. quick and easy to drive around columbus from there. very friendly staff who knew my name day 1. lots of buckeye and notre dame fans there for that weekend game!
Good. The only issue we had was the lack of food options that were open. We came back to the hotel after a concert and were not able to find food options nearby.
Over an hour late to be able to check in and while waiting staff never communicated when rooms were finally ready
Wouldn't stay again.
Front desk person was just okay. Dress was pretty unprofessional (red hoodie sweatshirt. Possibly the same one when I checked in on Friday and checked out on Sunday). The room was good except for what appeared to be black mold around the caulks on the tub. Absolutely no fan for ventilation in the bathroom. Only three bath towels for two people for two nights with no hooks or towel bars to hang them on in order to reuse. Over half of the cooler for drinks in the cantina was empty. No juice options except V8. Plenty of beer though. I've stayed in HGI's all over the country and this one, by far, was the worst. Definitely not worth the price being charged.
Shower area the paint was coming off wall. Some stains on carpet. Beds are fabulous
Staff was amazing - very friendly and helpful - rooms very clean and loved set up of them
Great hotel
Great location, friendly staff, very comfortable.
Excellent stay, excellent staff, nice location by OSU.
High pet fee
