Hotels in Columbusa practical 3-star chain hotel near Ohio State
8.4/10
A strong OSU base with friendly staff, clean rooms and useful included extras.
This practical 3-star near Ohio State is a strong pick for campus visits, games and hospital trips. Marriott describes it as newly renovated, and the guest feedback largely backs up the refresh: Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean, comfortable rooms and helpful staff. Included hot breakfast, an indoor pool and a fitness room make it a well-rounded option for its class rather than just somewhere to sleep.
The trade-offs are mostly practical. This is a car-oriented base, not the best choice for exploring Columbus entirely on foot. The pool is small, and Marriott now lists paid parking despite some booking listings advertising it as free. Confirm local shuttle availability directly: recent reports conflict. We'd choose it for straightforward comfort near OSU, but skip it for a walkable city-break setting.
