“Stayed for Convention”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Recently stayed at the Drury Inn Columbus Convention Center and I must say this location exceeded every expectation I had. They were very busy due to the convention but the staff was always very helpful and incredibly friendly. The location was perfect for our event and we thoroughly enjoyed the private parking garage and security measures in place by the hotel. We had a great experience here and have already booked for next year.

Room Tip: If you can, book a suite. Large spacious rooms that are very comfortable.

“Very Nice Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We were pleasantly surprised at the Drury Inn while staying in town for a conference. Our room was extremely clean, the staff were very kind & professional, and the hotel was well kept. The beds were very comfortable and there was no unnecessary perfume-y room spray to deal with which is a huge plus in our book (we wish other hotels would follow suit). Wi-fi was flawless and fast and we did not hear any adjoining room noises. We always appreciate a hotel that keeps on top of things, especially basic cleanliness and this place gets high marks for attention to detail. In the large lobby and breakfast areas, we noticed that someone was always cleaning and ensuring that things were kept in order. Parking was quite reasonable for a downtown location and we even avoided the cold weather by walking to the convention center conference via the foot traffic connector that attaches to their parking structure. The only small thing we might suggest (and by no means would this ever deter us from staying here again) is that the room could use a slight updating such as getting more modern looking bedspreads and - some of the - furniture. Note these items were definitely not old or worn, they just looked a bit dated in style (and to be fair, perhaps not every room is the same and some are more modern looking…). We feel that these small updates to this already wonderful hotel would make it just that much more special – as of our stay, and if Trip Advisor allowed, we’d give this hotel 4.5 stars. We would definitely return.

“Wonderful!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

On our way back from Florida after horrible accomodation on the way down! It is everything it says it is...all the extras are free...you pay a bit more, but well worth it. Is my hotel of choice for all our upcoming trips! Includes breakfast (hot) and between 5-7 pm, hot and cold finger foods and wine to drink...didn't even have to venture out to find a restaurant. Highly recommend!

Room Tip: All the rooms are good

“Excellent hotel for a great price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

I chose this hotel for the great online special and it's proximity to Nationwide Arena but I would absolutely return for the exceptional service and the extremely friendly staff!! When I made the reservation there were only supposed to be two guests but due to some unexpected circumstances there wound up being three of us, when I told them of the change at check in they didn't even bat an eye at the change (I was expecting to hear that there would be an extra charge or something but there wasn't!). The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The evening "kick back" dinner was ok but the staff was extremely friendly, talking to guests and offering to get rid of trash for them. At bedtime we realized that my daughter had forgotten her toothbrush, not a problem, they gave us a one with a smile. The breakfast had a wide variety of items and once again the staff was extremely friendly, talking with guests and offering to take their trash, etc. Check out was a breeze and we felt safe and secure the whole time we were there. I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again and would recommend it to my friends and family!

Room Tip: We had a room near the elevator and several times heard noises from people getting on/off of it. If...

“Nice surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

I was pleasantly surprised. They have most of the things on a business traveler's wish list. I like that they have an outlet hub on the desk, which most hotels don't understand is needs these days for all the electronic equipment. the TVs are large. Beds comfortable. Central HVAC. Nice lounge chair with ottoman. free wifi. Free breakfast is a step above most others; the scrambled eggs are real, not the chalky variety.The free drinks in the evening are a nice touch. Parking is a reasonable price.

There is a good seafood restaurant across the street and a bar as well.

The only negative is I did not get a coffee replacement, called housekeeping, but they never showed as promised.
