Hotels in Columbusan independent, design-forward 4-star beside COSI in Franklinton
8.9/10
A strong Columbus pick for comfortable rooms and a genuinely lively social scene.
The Junto is an independent, design-forward 4-star beside COSI, and it's a strong pick for travelers who want their hotel to have some life beyond the room. Tripadvisor, Booking.com and Expedia guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. The fireplace-filled gathering spaces, Maudine’s coffee shop and Brass Eye rooftop make staying in appealing, while the riverfront location works well for exploring downtown.
The trade-off is that those shared spaces attract plenty of locals, too: expect a busy lobby rather than a private retreat. Some guests mention room noise or uneven restaurant service, though the overall feedback remains strongly positive. A mandatory daily destination amenity fee and paid parking also deserve attention. We'd choose it for a sociable city break; quiet-seekers and travelers wanting fewer extra charges should look elsewhere.
