Hotels in Columbusan aging 4-star downtown business hotel, formerly a Sheraton
5.9/10
The downtown location works better than the hotel’s upkeep.
The Plaza is an aging 4-star downtown business hotel, formerly a Sheraton, whose strongest asset is its position beside the Statehouse, Ohio Theatre and Columbus Commons. We'd consider it for a short, location-first stay, not a polished four-star experience. Recent Expedia guests offer genuine praise for friendly staff, clean rooms and comfortable beds, but the overall picture remains uneven.
Maintenance is the sticking point: Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly describe tired interiors, unreliable heating or air-conditioning, and elevator outages; guests also report broken escalators and ice machines. Cleanliness earns positive reports alongside complaints about inconsistent housekeeping. The official site lists a restaurant, bar, gym and free Wi-Fi, but we'd confirm anything essential before arrival. Nearby parking costs extra. We'd skip it for a special occasion, a busy group trip or any stay where dependable facilities matter more than the address.

Best for: location-first downtown visitors; short Ohio Theatre trips
Watch out for: recurring elevator and temperature-control problems; dated interiors and uneven housekeeping; paid nearby parking
Location: Excellent access to the Statehouse, Ohio Theatre and Columbus Commons; farther from the arena.
Rooms: Some guests praise comfortable beds and city views, but wear and temperature-control complaints recur.
Cleanliness: Many recent guests report clean rooms; housekeeping consistency remains a concern.
Service: Friendly employees earn repeated praise, though staffing and problem resolution receive mixed feedback.
Amenities: Restaurant, bar, gym and free Wi-Fi are advertised; elevator, escalator and ice-machine outages recur in reviews.
Fees and surprises: Budget for nearby parking, breakfast and applicable pet fees; the hotel also requires a refundable credit-card security deposit.
