What guests think

Hilton Columbus/Polaris earns frequent praise for clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location near Polaris Fashion Place and dining, with a lively lobby, bar, and solid amenities like a gym, pool, hot tub, and executive lounge.

Common drawbacks include noise from thin walls or busy events, extra charges such as paid parking and breakfast, and occasional maintenance issues with showers, air conditioning, elevators, or TVs. Dining and bar experiences range from excellent to overpriced or slow, and the pool area is generally enjoyable though the hot tub is sometimes cold or over-chlorinated. A few guests reported vehicle break-ins in the parking lot, raising security concerns. Overall, expect a comfortable, amenity-rich stay in a convenient suburban location.

I booked this trip as a getaway for my Mom’s 60th birthday. At check-in Friday, the front desk agent was polite, the room was clean, and the bartender on Friday evening was AMAZING, very attentive. Overall, the stay was good UNTIL we woke up Sunday to checkout at 1pm and went to the parking lot to find my car driver side window had been busted out. When I went back into the hotel to inform the agent she didn’t apologize for the inconvenience or sound concerned at all. She simply stated that “this happens a lot all around”. She didn’t even offer to take the parking off, I had to ask, and I believe it is still on my bill. I understand you don’t want to tell guests that this is likely to happen or happens a lot at your hotel, however, at check-in they could say please don’t leave any valuables or park in a certain area. This had to happen at 3 or 4am based on what time I parked the car. I’ve worked in the hotel industry in management, sales, and FD, and am aware that she could have done something to make it right or even just sound a little more concerned or apologetic. If this is something that happens at your hotel often, as nice of a hotel that it is, you should add more security or make sure they are actually in the parking lot at all hours. To top it off she told us we could go use the vacuum and tape nearby to patch up the window, which showed me others experienced this the same morning. Not a great gift on my moms birthday to drive 2 hrs back with plastic blowing loud!

DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU OWN A NICE VEHICLE AND PARK OVERNIGHT!!! The Hotel will charge $10 fee for parking, however, they do not warn Customers that Pick-up trucks are ROUTINELY window smashed by young thugs looking for guns. They will only take guns or cash. They specifically target Pick up Trucks. Staff will not disclose this upon check in. Clean and comfortable, your vehicle is not safe in the lot overnight. They will do this right in front of the Security Guards since they are not allowed to have guns. They make a ton off of parking, however, will not hire an off duty Police Officer like they should for the amount they make off of the abundance of cars in the lot. Security risk. Don't stay there if you have a nice vehicle.

Chose this hotel for location as well as the hot tub/pool. Hot tub was EXTREMELY disappointing. Water was cold and maintenance overused the chemicals. Many guests, including us, complained of it burning our eyes.

The linens smelled like they had not been cleaned, or were so old they could no longer get fresh. I thought maybe it was just me, but my travel companions reported having had the same issue at this hotel in the recent past. The hotel was hosting at least one large event or wedding, so I can’t recommend this place to people who want a quiet, clean experience.

I tried to show photos to a worker of our room upon checkin. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned. You could see toothpaste splatter, crumbs on the counter tops, and it smelled sour. I’m not sure what went on in the room or if house cleaning forgot to do it’s last little bit. When I tried to bring it up I was dismissed. That’s right around $600. My wife and I ended up cleaning it ourselves. I’ve never once asked for a refund or even thought it was possible. But with this last stay…. Yeah. I’d like my money back. Doubt it’ll ever happen. But worst hotel cleaning I’ve ever experienced.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I like that once you check in you receive a text asking if everything in your room is good and you can ask questions or state concerns and an actual person text you back in a timely fashion. The only thing I didn’t like compared to other hotels is that you cannot sign into your app accounts from their TVs (e.g. Netflix, YouTube TV etc.). Overall it was an excellent experience. It was clean. The hotel lobby and restaurant/bar areas were inviting with a pleasant atmosphere.

Doors to the bathrooms are water damaged and need replaced. For an upscale property with so many good things, the bathrooms are the place for the most improvement.

Wow, what an unexpected find! I decided to make a quick stop in Columbus during a road trip and just happened to choose this property. Just walking in the door, you're greeted by amazing vibes and ambience from the lovely smells, a cozy fireplace, and large well appointed lobby. The staff was excellent - specific shoutout to Tey at the front desk who was so helpful and super sweet, and Lauren behind the bar who was very friendly. Gym was second to none and restaurant was killer. Now onto the room, which was fantastic. Bed and shower were amazing. Definite 10/10. This place was also in a great, safe, quiet suburban area. Tons of dining and shopping options around. If you're ever in the area don't think twice about where to stay. This is it!

The hotel refused to correct an error on our reservation and charged us for a third night even though we were checking out the day before. We also were charged another $25 fee for checking in one hour early to a room that was empty and ready. The front desk said all of this is automatic and there is nothing they could do. Service groups can always do something. I would not stay at this property again due to my experience with the front desk staff.

It's close to the mall for shopping and several nice restaurants, and it's right beside the interstate if you need to visit some other part of the city. I always choose Polaris rather than downtown when in Columbus.

Everything was good except the food served at the in-house restaurant. The waiting time was 10 minutes before our server came to greet us, 25 minutes for our to-go food order (which was fast food quality and did not taste good at all) that costs $100. Our server was very pleasant and did the best she could as it seems she was working the tables solo.

When we arrived we were checked in promptly, however at check in we were informed there was a $10 parking fee per night, which was not disclosed at time of booking so it was a surprise. The room was clean and very neat. The bed was comfortable and the shower was vwry spacious. There were 2 extra towels per our request which was very kind. The hottub was much needed after a night out on the town, however there were many small children jumping in and out and it wasnt 100% relaxing. The pool was clean ans nice to cool off in before heading to our room for the night. We wanted to order breakfast but the cost was extremely high even for hotel standards. If we had wanted two eggs, a meat, a bread and a drink it would have been $35 for two people plus 24% gratuity. We found breakfast away from the hotel for $25 and both of us were full. Overall we give our stay 4 stars.
