Each year we host a breakfast at this Red Roof Inn for a group of 20-35 guests that fly in from all over North America. Ruby is always there to make sure the banquet room is set up with fresh, hot coffee, juice, china and silverware. She checks in often and makes sure I have everything I need to make... More

This is a great location for those attending the Nationwide Arena or a convention. The front desk staff (especially Haley at check-in) was friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. At our group breakfast, Ruby went out of her way to make sure everything was just right. A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. This hotel... More

I had a two-day trip to Columbus, and this was the perfect location for connecting with the other members of the team. It is quiet, clean and efficiently run. The staff were polite and very helpful. Early on my second day, I had a chance to chat with Ruby, who had the coffee on downstairs and brought goodies for everyone... More

I have to echo another reviewer when they say that this property can't compete with the much pricier 4 star hotels nearby in ammenities, condition, and services. However, you won't get a better priced room of reasonable quality in this prime location of downtown Columbus. Decent hotel condition, clean rooms, attentive staff. Parking will cost you $10/day in a lot... More

When comparing this hotel to other hotels in the proximity to the downtown; it cannot compete with the much pricier 4 star plus hotels in amenities, condition, and services offered. BUT- if you are looking for a hotel in the downtown area with an affordable price that has some of the amenities and in fairly good condition; this is your... More

Wow! What a great location! I recently spent two nights at the Red Roof Inn on a business trip. We were attending a conference at the convention center, and this hotel was within a few minute walk - across the street. The area is safe with wide sidewalks and crosswalks with signals. Parking is across the street adjacent to a... More

Room quality was good. Parking situation, not so much. When checking in, the front desk needs to be specific about the section for Red Roof Inn customers, it was very confusing when i parked and ended up in the larger general parking area. After parking, I found out that the Red Roof section was full anyways, so I was where... More

I choose this hotel because it is close to our friends in Columbus. Red Roof Inn has certainly added a "plush" upgrade to their hotels. This was very clean and very comfortable hotel. The room was renovated, had hard wood floors, king size bed was comfortable, refrig, coffee pot, etc. The bathroom is kinda on the small scale, but nothing... More
