6.0/10
Free parking and friendly staff help, but upkeep makes this a conditional pick.
This is an aging, full-service mid-range hotel in north Columbus, better suited to a car-based stopover or on-site event than downtown sightseeing. Free parking, a restaurant and a gym are useful strengths. Recent Expedia guests often praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and friendly staff, but Booking.com’s overall rating is notably weaker. We'd consider it for convenience, not for a reliably polished Crowne Plaza experience.
The concern is consistency: 2026 Tripadvisor guests and reviews displayed by Experience Columbus repeatedly describe worn interiors, slow drains, elevator outages and poor follow-through when problems arise. Cleanliness also draws sharply conflicting reports. The hotel advertises indoor-outdoor swimming, but guests have reported pool closures and poor conditions; confirm availability before booking. Breakfast generally costs extra, and a deposit applies. We'd skip it for a special occasion or a pool-focused family stay.

Rooms: Comfortable beds earn praise, but worn furnishings, slow drains and maintenance faults recur.
Cleanliness: Recent Expedia praise contrasts with repeated dirty-room complaints elsewhere.
Service: Friendly front-desk staff are a strength; resolving problems and management follow-up are less dependable.
Amenities: Restaurant, gym and indoor-outdoor swimming are advertised; guests report elevator outages and pool problems.
Fees and surprises: Self-parking and Wi-Fi are free; breakfast generally costs extra, and a check-in deposit applies.
