We checked in and the smell from the pool was overwhelming. Went to the room, opened the door--it was an already occupied room! Went back down (with kids & luggage in tow) got a new room. Went to swim and the smell was horrible; the boys only lasted about 20 minutes. I swear the chlorine smell stayed in my nose for about 2 days.
The bathroom was small and as usual not enough towels for 4 people. Beds ok; b'fast ok; front desk guy not so ok. Glad we don't ever have to go back!

was a little bit away from where our convention was, however, it was an easy 10 mins drive to where we needed to go. very nice hotel and the staff was superb.. we had a late check in and the staff was great.. if and when im back in ohio, i will deff stay here again. kudos!

My wife and I often stay at Hampton Inns and generally have found them clean and pleasant. The Trabue Road branch is an exception. We changed our travel plans at the last minute and booked here because the location was convenient, but without reading the comments on TripAdvisor -- though that might not have made any difference, as most are positive. On entering the lobby, we were struck by a strong smell of chlorine: the pool is near the entrance, and visitors had tracked wet footprints into the hallway and elevator. The desk attendant took my details and credit card with hardly a word spoken, as he was on the phone the whole time. If I had had a question, I would have been out of luck. When we got to our "non-smoking" room, there was a distinct smell of tobacco, and on checking for signs of bedbugs (there were none) I found bits of tobacco leaves in the carpet. I also noticed dried food under the furniture, and even a tennis ball in a corner! We skipped the free breakfast, so as to get away from the smells as soon as possible. Since there are many other hotel options in this area, we'll certainly stay somewhere else if we're ever passing this way again.

Nice motel, clean, good breakfast. Close to freeway on West side of Colombus.
