What guests think

At Hilton Garden Inn Columbus/Dublin, guests highlight a convenient, safe location near restaurants and the zoo, often noting friendly staff and, in many stays, clean, comfortable rooms, but they also describe inconsistent operations and dated, maintenance‑worn areas.

Breakfast is a recurring pain point, with many stays reporting no service during renovations or staffing shortages, and several noting that when offered it costs extra and feels expensive. Facilities feedback is mixed: the pool is sometimes closed or unheated, parking carries a fee, and occasional renovation, air‑conditioning, or equipment problems affect common areas. Overall, expect a convenient location and friendly interactions, but check current amenities and charges before booking.

We always stay in this area for the convenience. We hadn't stayed in this Hilton for a while and the only thing we weren't aware of that we want to just share with others in case they missed it on the website is there is a parking fee of $8.00. If you are a rewards member though, it is only $3.00. This isn't a game changer I just want to let others know so they have a heads up.

Property charges for parking per day. Signs saying they will not protect your cars, don't take down plates, no additional protection of vehicle for cost to park. Added over 30 bucks onto bill for that. Lots of added taxes on bill. Look at details before you book. Will book elsewhere in the future. Pass.

the man behind the service desk was very nice and helpful. I did not know rooms were not guaranteed through hotels.com. As far as the room goes it was nice my only comment on the room is the bed is extremely hard not very comfortable. Overall it was an ok stay. I was very disappointed in the pool area. The pool itself was freezing not enjoyable at all and no restroom in the area without having to go back to your room or out to the lobby which is not very convenient if in the pool.

We stayed here last year for the Dublin Irish Fest. I feel like the hotel was more run down. Huge stains on the ceiling of our room. The carpet was dingy. The pool water was cloudy. We stayed here for the convenience to the shuttle and would like to come back, but please put some work into the hotel.

I would not stay here again. There were candy wrappers under the bed and black hairs in the tub. We were given no bath towels and after getting back to the hotel after a day at the zoo and entertainment center, we were told there was no housekeeping and they could provide hand towels only. After complaining for 15 minutes, the front desk clerk finally went into a room that was unoccupied and provided a family of four with three bath towels leaving our youngest to use hand towels. I have never left a review before but I would be remiss if I didn't warn others of this property. Furthermore, breakfast is $12.50 a piece...just FYI.

The lobby is nice, and everything was clean, but the rooms feel run down. The bed and the pillows were not comfortable at all. The drawer in the dresser wasn’t balanced, so it opens partially constantly, and it was easy to walk into, especially when getting up in the middle of the night. The curtains don’t close all the way, so we had to use the clips on the hangers to keep them closed when sunlight was shining in our face at 6am. And the rooms were so loud. You can hear EVERYTHING. We got no sleep here.

The property was beautiful, very nice and clean. Check-in went smooth but was never told my room was amended from what I reserved. I was gave two double beds instead of a king. Went back down to see if they made a mistake and they said they didn't have any beds like I paid for. Next morning, while in shower, water goes off. Had to get one of the bottles waters in the room to rinse with. Asked the front desk worker why the water was off. He said shower busted and they had to shut water off. Said would be fixed in an hour if I'd like to stick around and shower. This was at 10:30 and check out was 11. I informed him of me using the bottle of water to rinse off the soap. He said, "we won't charge you." Upon leaving hotel, I watched a crew working on what appeared to be a water line. I was charged for the water and a parking fee. To be clear not a bad hotel, just a bad experience and no customer service offering any solutions to make it right.

Everything good: Check-in, hotel staff, room cleanliness, shower. The bad stuff: Hotel charges for breakfast. This was a simple breakfast buffet that most all other hotel chains (including Hilton Garden Inn) includes at no charge. Same eggs, same sausage links, same fruit medley, same bread choices, same orange juice, same oatmeal. $27 for two people! UNREAL! They also charge for parking. I have paid for parking before at hotels, but they usually are in the city and the only parking is a parking deck. This parking was for a regular hotel parking lot that you see at all hotels. They did not ask if I had a car or any license plate. I wonder if they would have charged me if I had taken an Uber to the hotel. Or maybe I could have parked for free at the neighboring hotel. I have never stayed at any Hilton Garden Inn and paid for breakfast or parking. I probably won’t be back.

I stay at Hiltons because I expect to get exactly the same quality each time. When it has said that breakfast is included I don’t expect to get there and find out the kitchen has been remodeling for quite a bit of time so they knew there would be no breakfast. There was nothing done to make up for it.
