This hotel is an older building that has been kept updated. The hallways are dreary but my room was pleasant. I slept really well, due to a comfortable mattress and quiet room. (I had a corner room at the far end of the hallway; don't know if all rooms are so quiet.) In addition, Crowne Plazas provide little clips (think... More

I have stayed at the Crowne Plaza several times and have found the accommodations excellent. The staff is always helpful and friendly. During my last stay I lost an article of clothing and called back to the hotel in the hope of recovering it. Everyone was willing to assist especially the Housekeeping Director, Marcela. She returned my call and and... More

Thank goodness for hotel shuttle as I did not have a car. No restaurants within walking distance other than Max & Erma's (blah). Surprised to see holes in the sheets on the bed. Toilet ran all night. TV guide did not match the TV channels....grrrr. Be sure to check out the ahi tuna at Gordon Biersch Restaurant. Awesome! More

We stayed at this hotel because it's just a block and a half away from the hockey stadium. The walk to the stadium was safe (even at night) and quick and couldn't be easier. Although the room had the usual wear and tear like peeling wall paper and old carpet, it was clean, spacious, nicely decorated and had a comfortable... More

I stay here every time I'm in Columbus and its consistently good. Great location, great service, very friendly. They have a shuttle that will take you to local places. If you do drive take note that there is a daily charge for parking. More

My Wife and I stay here for all of the Nationwide Arena events that we attend. We went to a Bluejackets Hockey Game and the stay at the Crowne Plaza was as usual, very good. We like staying on the Executive Level because they have a couch, tv, computer, and refreshments. Our Son and his Girlfriend was with us and... More

Took in a hockey game for New Years Eve with my girlfriend and booked a room at the Crowne for the night. The valet staff was friendly and the front desk staff was amazing. Booked a single king room and was given a double queen. Called the front desk and had the problem taken care of immediately. After the game,... More

My 16 year-old son and I spent New Year's Eve at the Crowne Plaza after attending a Jackets game at Nationwide Arena. The hotel is two blocks from Nationwide Arena, across the street from the Convention Center. It is connected to the Convention Center by a covered skywalk. We had room 1135 - the room was in a section that... More

Thank you for staying with us on NYE and for sharing such a detailed account of your stay with others via tripadvisor.com. The room you stayed in and enjoyed is called a King Corner Room. This is my favorite room type in the hotel as well, due to the extra space it affords and the extra windows. You have a... More

Initial impressions - nice lobby, friendly staff, however, once arriving in a room, you realise that this property is dated. Low (false, popcorn covered) ceilings, small windows, and very thin walls do not make this an ideal place for a quiet stay. The restaurant, such as it is, is at Max and Erma's, outside the property. If you want to... More
