Hotels in ColumbusA practical 3-star, all-suite extended-stay hotel near Ohio State
8.4/10
A strong OSU base with useful kitchens, helpful staff, and parking-policy surprises.
This 3-star, all-suite hotel is a strong pick for OSU visits and longer hospital-related stays. Kitchens and separate sitting areas make it more useful than a standard hotel room, while included breakfast helps with everyday value. Recent Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise welcoming staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds; Booking.com feedback broadly backs that up. We'd choose it for practical comfort rather than a full-service hotel experience.
The clearest catch is parking: IHG advertises it as complimentary, but Expedia lists a charge and multiple 2026 guests report unexpected parking fees. Confirm the terms for your reservation before arriving. Shuttle information is also inconsistent, and IHG says sporting events are excluded. We'd skip it if your trip depends on guaranteed event transportation or a downtown doorstep location.
