We've been travelling through America and seen our fair share of hotels lately. However this one definitely was one of the best we have stayed at. The manager Sarah who checked us in and out is extremely efficient and approachable in a genuine way, and made us feel welcome from the beginning to the end of our stay.

The room itself was perhaps a touch dated with some funky carpet and picture on the wall but the bed was very comfy with adjustable settings, the air conditioning quiet at night, and above all very clean. Starbucks filter coffee in the room was a nice touch. Guest laundry available but not 24 hours.

For us the location was excellent - about 20min drive to downtown Columbus but situated in a business type area with stores and restaurants all very close by (including the Polaris fashion mall, cheesecake factory, a large barnes and noble, target, etc...). It was a great base for us for our very quick tour of a very nice area we hope to return to!

Hotel was very nice and very clean but bedding was hard as a rock and A/C-Heat was loud and inconsistent. Worst night sleep ever. Not recommended for overnight interstate stay unless you hit the bar to numb yourself up.
Positives:Clean, Bathroom, Decor.
Negatives: Very Loud and Inconsistent A/C-Heat. Bedding is made of stone--Fred Flintstone couldn't sleep here.
Return Stay/Recommend-No

When you stay at a Hilton Garden Inn, you pretty much know what you're getting: a pleasantly decorated room, wi-fi, coffee, flat panel TV, microwave, refrigerator etc. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into making the amenities most travelers want available in each room.

The Hilton Garden Inn is in the large complex of newer office buildings, shopping, hotels, and restaurants off of Polaris (it's actually on Lyra Drive, just off of that street), and has all of what you would expect from this chain of hotels. It is conveniently located for the north Columbus area. It's near I-71 and very close to dozens of restaurants and shopping, as well as to the other Polaris destinations. While it is not a pedestrian friendly area, we were able to walk to several nearby restaurants that included a Quaker Steak and Lube (terrific wings), Carraba's, Texas Roadhouse, and Fisherman's Wharf. Within a quarter of a mile you can find another 20 or so commonly known chains ranging from fast food on upwards. It might be a little far (another 12 miles or so) if you actually want downtown Columbus, but this hotel is well-located for many of the destinations travelers would want to visit.

While we were staying, there were three separate wedding parties staying as well. There was also a large crowd watching an Ohio State game on the bar/restaurant large TV. In the past, we've seen the hotel filled with guests intending to see a game live or to participate in events such as one for vintage cars. We've stayed here twice now while traveling as a family and had a pleasant stay both times.

There is ample convenient parking out front. The shower was hot and plentiful.

All in all, this was a perfectly nice place to stay.

clean,good location ,good breakfast,staff friendly and plenty of places to eat nearby.it is a well run operation
