What guests think

At Marriott Columbus OSU, reviewers consistently highlight very clean, modern spaces and friendly, professional staff, with many appreciating comfortable rooms and a convenient location for Ohio State University events and easy access to downtown or the airport.

Guests frequently note spacious layouts with hard-surface floors, while common drawbacks include no in-room microwave, paid or unreliable Wi-Fi or cell reception, and occasional HVAC, TV, or privacy issues with sliding bathroom doors. Facilities like the bar, restaurant, gym, and game-day shuttle earn praise, though the pool feels small and the heater has been out at times; parking can be a long walk and some entrances confuse late arrivals. Breakfast feedback is mixed—some enjoyed it, while others found it overpriced or unavailable during midday hours. Best for campus visits and events when you want reliable comfort and service, with a few trade-offs around extras and layout.

We booked this last minute (after not staying at the Baymont I had originally booked). The staff was friendly, the hotel itself was clean and warm, and in a much better area than our first hotel. The parking situation is not ideal as most parking is very far from enterable doors, but once inside, it was nice. The for-fee breakfast was nice, the lobby was inviting and the rooms had hardwood floors. The most annoying thing (aside from the parking situation) is a Marriott policy of charging for wifi. In this day, no place should be charging guests for wifi.

The bar and gym were really great amenities to have. The gym was actually really decent too, not just a little 6’ x 10’ room like some hotels. The room was very nice and everything was what I expected. Didn’t chat much with the staff but the interactions I did have were great!

We had a great stay at Marriott Columbus. The room was super clean, one of he cleanest I have ever stayed in. The beds and pillows were comfortable, more comfortable than my own bed at home. The staff was friendly and helpful, check in was super fast. And it was super quiet, we could hear people walk down the hall or run water every once in awhile, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise or people in neighboring rooms. If I had to pick out one disappointment it would be that breakfast wasn't complimentary, but that was not a deal breaker. They offer a small breakfast buffet for $14.99 and even better there is an excellent Dennys just down the road I would highly recommend this hotel and we will be using it again the next time we need to stay in Columbus.

I’m very picky and have trouble staying places other than home because I’m scared of germs and the unknown… but I felt so comfortable here and everything was so clean. This is the first time I didn’t have anything to complain about with cleanliness in a hotel. Will definitely be back!

My linens on bed were dirty and I told it to staff. No microwave in room only small fridge paid over 300$ for one night with limited amenities. They placed me in a room where the air conditioner or something was super loud through the wall, didn’t sleep comfortably so I checked out at 8am instead of 11am.

We have loved this hotel as we have stayed many time prior to this. A little disappointed this trip as there was a tube top left in our room which makes me second guess how well the room was cleaned. Nothing done except a promise to talk to house keeping about it.

The room was nice and decently cleaned. I would not stay here again for one reason, I don’t like having to pay Wi-Fi fees. I can afford to stay at a Marriott but I never will again. I would rather they raise the price of the room by $15 to include Wi-Fi instead of charging for Wi-Fi. I know that sounds stupid but I don’t want to be charged for internet just because they want to gouge more profits out of customers because they have money. That’s just not smart in my opinion. Now I will never stay at a Marriott again even though I can afford to. The residence inn by Marriott that’s in the same building has free Wi-Fi and free breakfast. That shows that they are just sucking as much money possible out of their customers. Rooms were nice but not that nice. I stayed in The Hotel Indigo in Cleveland the next night for a Cavs game and it was almost just as nice for half the price with Wi-Fi included.

This hotel has either been recently renovated or recently built — the finishes are new and clean, modern decor, and it even seemed like there was some sort of sound-proofing between rooms because we could barely hear our neighbors (other than the very occasional toilet flush). Our room had a smart TV, brightly lit bathroom, new vinyl flooring (no carpet, yay!) A negative: the bathroom door — it is a sliding frosted glass door but when all lights were on in the bathroom, you could see through it. Enough to see what someone was doing in the bathroom. Not a huge fan of that! The beds were comfortable and pillows were fluffy. The bathroom could have used some additional ventilation as well. Overall, I have no big complaints. It's a very nice hotel. Outdoor basketball court, gym, indoor swimming pool, courtyard for lunch if you wanted if the weather was nice. We had a room facing the river out back which was nice. Also, no weird smells or strongly scented linens. I would definitely recommend this hotel to people!

The room was good but the price was too high there was no microwave in the room and some of the lights didn’t work. Better to book a Fairfield or residence by Marriott than the Marriott itself no difference but the price will be half off

We showed up at the hotel @ 11pm after having received text messages all day saying they were excited to have us, hope check in was smooth, etc. Only to find out that they did not have a room available for us and not notified. We were told to come back the next day and they would have a room. Totally unacceptable. We had to ask for a referral to another hotel and it was a shady property 15/20 mins away. Needless to say, I did not stay at the hotel and found another option in the am.

The property is well-situated to OSU. The hotel is clean and the staff was friendly. Beds slept well, but the quality of the bed linens could be improved to have more substance … the pillows were quite flat and the comforter quite thin for a Marriott. The one thing that stood out for us was the fact that there was no brunch . So we could not get food in the hotel on a cold rainy day between 11am-4pm. That’s strange for a Marriott.

I was exhausted after driving all day. I normally hate hotel restaurants, but I was too tired and frazzled to drive anymore. I was pleasantly surprised when I went down to the bar/restaurant. The burger I ordered was excellent and they have a good selection of wines. The staff were very friendly and the front desk clerks actually came behind the desk to escort guests into the lobby to show them where to go next. The rooms are spacious and very well furnished. Clean, contemporary, nice! I really like this hotel. I'd definitely stay here again!
