“Five star for its type”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

I rate this hotel four dots because of its excellent value proposition in its category rating. It's clean, new and modern. Plenty of COVERED FREE parking!. Decent bedding and ample room space (with a sit down desk) even for a large family of five. Nice flat screens TV with plenty of channels and HDMI input (pack your Roku and HDMI cable). Breakfast is complete although basic and it's included in the room rate.

There are just a few things that needs attention to make this hotel perfect for its class category (five dots out of five). The hotel needs to improve the room's shower water pressure which is lacking (we stayed in the top floor). Management may want to add one more piece of cardio of equipment in the gym (it was fine during our stay but it could be a problem during busy times). Finally a note to the folk at Hyatt corporate - please consider changing the liquid soap that you provide at Hyatt Place (the ones now don't smell very good). although thanks for the tube of Aquafresh toothpaste (very nice). All in all a very good stay at Hyatt Place OSU Columbus.

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Ohio State University, but you'll need to have your own transportation to move around and explore the town. There not much around so with out a car you will be stuck.

During our visit, we went to an OSU Basketball game; the opposing team stay at this hotel so looks like is popular with visiting team.

Room Tip: OSU fans will enjoy getting a bite to eat at the Buckeye theme restaurant (menu similar to Chili'...

“Great for Ohio State Fans”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Great location and a Buckeye bar right next door. Clean and spacious rooms. Big screen television. Free parking. Great place to stay for Buckeye games or entertaining in the Arena district. Good quality breakfast. Highly recommend for Ohio State Football games.

“NOT A PET FRIENDLY HOTEL!!! LARGE FEES!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

I booked my trip on Priceline, and read all the details provided to me. My wife was traveling with children and our 2 small dogs. When she arrived at the hotel after 8 hours of driving, she was told about the pet fee. $150 for the first dog and $50 per dog after that. We didn't know about the pet fee. The person at the counter presented a Priceline screen shot that had the pet fee. I contacted the front desk to discuss this issue. I walked the person through how to book a hotel on Priceline, and she verified that the fees are not on there.

I am in day 2 of discussions relating to this issue. The discussion with the supervisor today contiually led to a statement or,"The fees are on OUR website." I didn't book on the Hyatt webiste, the same as most of you who read this.

I have to wait until day 3 to discuss this with the hotel general manager. I am hopeful that my issue will be resolved, but with the customer service I have received so far, I doubt it. We will not stay at this hotel ever again.

Hello,

I’m sorry that there was confusion about our pet policy. I have addressed this issue with Priceline on why they are not accurately explaining the hotel policy. The hotel does accept pets but there is a cleaning charged associated with this. Our pet policy can been seen on the hotel main website and is “Hyatt Place Columbus/OSU allows a maximum of 2 pets per room. Pets must not exceed 50 lbs and must be housebroken. Pets are designated as a dog. A non-refundable cleaning fee of $150 for the first pet, and if there is a second pet, then an additional $50 will be charged to the guest. The cleaning fee will be inclusive of taxes.”

I believe we have spoken about this issue and the issue has been resolved. If not feel free to contact me at 614-569-2910 or by email at mholtzleiter@columbushospitality.com to get this issue resolved.

“Will be going back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 25, 2012

Great place to stay! Had family at the medical center at OSU for three days and stayed at this hotel each night. Very clean and comfortable. Especially liked the size of the room. Like a suite at other hotels, but for a standard fee. Great to have a couch to sit on for watching TV or reading.
The staff was very attentive and eager to please. Will be staying here again when we return to OSU medical center for a 30 day stay.

“Favorite OSU Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

Really cool hotel with a great layout, perfect location and really awesome staff. We had check in early and made that request in our reservation notes. When we arrived we were greeted with a smile and with "I've already prepared a room for you." Nice! This isn't a full service hotel and the breakfast is what you'd expect. There's a popular local restaurant next store. We were a mile from a shopping area and just 3 miles from OSU.

Room Tip: This is in a great location just outside of the city in a revitalized industrial area so get a 6th f...
