My husband and I attended the Taylor Swift concert at Nationwide Arena on May 8th. We chose this hotel because of how close it was to the arena. Everything was really nice. The staff was friendly, the rooms were nice, but the hallway to our room had a smell that I can't even explain. In the morning when the rooms... More

The mattress on on bed was sunken in it looked as if it had been jumped on. Good thing we had two beds. The handle on the toilet broke and we stopped at the front desk to have it fixed. We tried to temporarily fit it. Came back in the evening and still not fixed. You would think a nice... More

I attended a 1/5 day conference held at the Crowne Plaza. The meeting rooms were great, very convenient, open, well-lit and clean. Food provided was fresh and delicious. We had a happy hour at the bar in the lobby that was fun. The hotel's location is great -- right across from the Columbus Convention Center and Nationwide Center. My room... More

We stayed two nights at the Crowne Plaza. The rooms were nice but a little over-priced, They were very clean, however and the staff was both helpful and courteous. Exercise facility was first rate. We only ate at the on-site restaurant once but the food was the best we had our whole trip! The coffee provided in the rooms was... More

I have stayed at this hotel at least a dozen times in the last three years. I like the hotel but it is going downhill. The front desk used to have very friendly staff. Now, they seem like like they are just punching a clock. In the bar area the "head bartender" is comfortable dressing down the other server well... More

Our stay couldn't have been nicer, nor the staff friendlier . Room clean. Quiet. Many meeting areas and internet stations. Our bed was turned down for us when we returned from our evenings out.

This hotel is perfectly located in the downtown area of Columbus if that is your destination. It is connected to many of the other buildings by an enclosed walkway that is helpful due to the Columbus weather. The rooms are spacious, but not extravagant. One note about the parking, it is actually cheaper to Valet than it is to self... More

This hotel, which I find to be a slightly higher then average for a crown plaza, is nice with an attractive friendly staff in a good location and a cute bar. Not a bad place to stay when in town for work, which is why I was here.
