Lock in a great price for Residence Inn Columbus Downtown – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Staff very friendly and rooms very clean and comfortable

Kay-cee, United States of America

I work downtown and this location is convenient. The overnight accommodation was a gift from our son so that he could have a Smash party at our home. It was so nice and convenient, that since we are going to Handel's Messiah tonight, we extended our stay an extra night and all I had to do was walk across the street to go to work.

Trudy, United States of America

Awesome location for access to the Columbus Marathon route. Great selection of restaurants just across the street. Breakfast was plentiful with good variety of selections. Absolutely beautiful building- formerly a bank - door to the vault now welcomes you to the breakfast bar area. Great downtown location!

Fallswood, United States of America

Beautiful building,staff very helpful and friendly, great breakfast !

Jackie, United States of America

Nice hot breakfast served in the old vault of the former bank building. The onsite tavern was very good - tasty bar food (candied bacon and buffalo wings were excellent choices during happy hour). Room was comfy with enough seating and lighting. Room seemed clean. Good proximity to most of the downtown attractions. Staff was friendly.

Greg, United States of America

Great value and location... Friendly staff.. loved the size of the rooms.

Jeff, United States of America

The large entry had the wonderful atmosphere of an old beautifully renovated bank lobby. The breakfast line went through one of the old bank vaults. I loved the history and character reflected in the hotel. The breakfast offered many options with ample seating for guests.

“Not what I would expect from a Marriott. Disappointed.”

First and most annoying is the parking. $20 a night in a garage not connected to the building. Back door locked had to walk around the entire building. Then after the hike was placed in a dirty room, after speaking to the people at the front desk we were moved into a better room. (Super nice people at the front desk by the way) Free breakfast food looked ok, but impossible to eat with the dirty dish water smell coming from the silverware. We unfortunately will not be back.
Room was nice once we switched to a clean one!

“Nice hotel, but a little expensive for what you get.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Queen Studio with Sofa Bed

No self-parking readily available. Valet parking was an additional $27/day (+ tips). The wi-fi didn't prompt for a password which made me wary that it wasn't secure - so I didn't feel comfortable using it (more data off my plan...). No onsite restaurant - just the bar/tavern. Local places nearby closed early (5pm) which led us further from the hotel to find dining open in the evening. Noisy elevators made a low booming sound that could be heard in our room through the night (we were at least 5 room away from the elevators). Room configuration placed the bed right next to the bathroom - so the light from the bathroom woke my wife when I got up to shower. Windows were filthy - so while there was sort of a view, the dirty windows obscured the ability to enjoy it.
Nice hot breakfast served in the old vault of the former bank building. The onsite tavern was very good - tasty bar food (candied bacon and buffalo wings were excellent choices during happy hour). Room was comfy with enough seating and lighting. Room seemed clean. Good proximity to most of the downtown attractions. Staff was friendly.
