Holiday Inn Express Ex I-71 / OH State Fair / Expo Center - Columbus

Nice , clean and quite. Being close to fairgrounds was good for us

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel provides basic accommodations at a high price. The staff were excellent (esp.Karl!) And went out of their way to be friendly. Beware the neighborhood, very gritty. Had I known, would not have stayed. Definitely would NOT bring children to this area.

We stayed four nights during the graduation weekend, and were very pleased. Beds were very comfortable and breakfast was great. We enjoyed the pool. The elevator is a bit slow, the building is showing its age, the internet is slow during peak hours, and the left turn out of the parking lot is a challenge, but otherwise our stay was quite pleasant. I […] would stay there again. Read more

comfortable - great option close to the Fairgrounds

Hotel needs a makeover. Carpets are dirty and walls are beat up. Elevator is slow.

The purpose of the trip was to vist Ohio Sate with my son. I could not have picked a better hotel. I was very nice, affordable, the receptionist was very good. We were very pleased...

Was very un-kept, dirty and not clean. Will not be staying there again

They were very helpful. We a issue with a cab service and the hotel went out of their way to take care of it. The rooms were very clean. Will use them again anytime.

The hotel itself is very nice and the staff was friendly. We were in town for a concert and just needed to stay somewhere close to campus. The location is awful if you're looking for places to eat, other than Wendys, within walking distance from the hotel. We didn't mind the drive. The hotel met all of my expectations and I have no complaints.

Stayed here before going to an OSU football game. Service was fine. Nice breakfast buffet in the morning. Clean hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When we first got to the hotel I was a little nervous because all of the stores, gas stations, etc. had bars on all of their windows. I expected our hotel to be similar. However, what a great hotel! The staff was very friendly, the hotel was clean, and our room was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice room. Quite! Good stay

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I have been here a couple of times and the staff really works at making the stay enjoyable. Not fancy but clean, courteous and attentive. Personally I do not need much more than that for a quick stay. When I come back to OSU I will stay here.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location is excellent and easy to get to and from OSU and other places. Friendly staff and helpful. Rooms are clean, nicely furnished, and well maintained. Price affordable for area and neighbourhood was fine. Could do much worse and pay more.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall very nice although we were put into a handicap room which was odd the shower head kept falling down to the low level and the room had a funky smell.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very convenient. Would of been nice to have a hot tub or know ahead of time that its only 7bucks to and from the buckeye game before I paid 30 dollars for parking would of been nice but other than that it was greatly priced for what we needed it for.

Our stay was very good. The front desk employee's where very helpful and very polite. I have no complaints. Thanks Melissa

It was clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but great deal! Good location. Great breakfast with lots of choices and food was good. Pool was a little chilly; not sure it was heated but was indoors.

Bed was hard and pillows were too small but the room was clean and very large. Jacuzzi tub jets were weak but loved having the jacuzzi inside the bedroom. Did not use amenitites. Breakfast was nice but hotel not in the nicest area.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I'm usually a fan of Holiday Inn Express, but this property must be a little older, seems like it's a little out of date compared to most others I've stayed at. Also, not located in the greatest neighborhood. We did not have any problems, but all the telltale signs were there (bars on windows of adjacent businesses, highest gas prices in town by $0.25/gal, […] others). Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel staff was wonderful. Every question was answered promptly and courteously; all of our needs were dealt with immediately. Our only small complaint was that the breakfast eggs were the usual pre-processed glop, except for Saturday's, when tasty omelets were available.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms were a little out dated (t.v.'s and things like that) But, over all the hotel is very nice. The location isn't the greatest and the view sucks (bad neighborhood), but very pleased with the service and cleanliness.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I was very uncomfortable upon entry by the check in clerk, the management & managements' daughter.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice hotel. The free breakfast was fresh and restocked frequently by Lois. Greg at the front desk was polite and friendly. Enjoyed our stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good hotel for our stay. Convenient to where we were visiting and easy to get in and out. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Room was nice and it was clean. Would stay there again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Crummy neighborhood, but good hotel. First room had no AC, but they switched us quickly. Slowest elevator ever. Really, it was a fine hotel, but the area around it was very sketch.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The stay was great. The room was comfy and clean. The hotel is not in the best neighborhood, but also not the worat. The gay guy at the front desk needs a little fine tuning in the customer service field. He always (I've stayed many times) has some kind of attitude. Aside from that I love this hotel, it is close to crew stadium and the art district […] of Columbus is a short drive away. Read more

The hotel is good place to stay if you are visiting OSU. The elevator was NOT working and we had to go up and down four floors.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was told it had new carpets so I was impressed right away. The young man working the counter was just perfect as was the young lady the next day. Helped with directions, and was very kind. I really like Holiday Inn Expresses and they are always very busy... I worried a bit when I saw that this one wasn't busy at all. Didn't know if that was for a […] reason? Didn't bother me though. I did grab food from the Wendy's next door, but that was pretty much all I trusted. I didn't realize the area was somewhat "depressed", I didn't feel safe at all while outside in the evening hours. ;-( The breakfast was very nice, fresh, tasty and a clean dining area. I will return when staying in the city again. it was very convenient to where I was doing business. Read more

The staff was superior! I had to check in early because of a business meeting that day, and the gentleman at the front desk made an extra effort to make sure I had a clean room ready. He even checked it personally. Then at checkout, the young lady at the desk recommended visiting a restaurant in German Village and printed out a map and directions for […] me. The breakfast was great, and if something was running low they were prompt to address it. Read more

Friendly, helpful personnel. Convenient, 5 min. drive to OSU campus. Needs routine, cosmetic maintenance. Outdated television (not HD). Good selection of breakfast foods. Remember to put the hanging door knob sign on the outside of the room door if you want clean linens if staying more than one night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is under construction.. The fitness area equipment does not work properly.. The hotel guests are very noisy.. Did not get a good night sleep without being awaked by drunks banging on doors and children running in the halls screaming at all hours of the night.. Continental breakfast was horrible went out to eat and the coffee is gross....

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Terrible location ... Stayed one night and got my car broken into ... Shattered my window and rummaged my car ... Same thing happened to about 6 other cars in the parking lot ... After, they said it happens frequently at this location ... Terrible experience.

I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was nice and the bed was very comfortable. I really enjoyed the continential breakfast the next morning. The christmas setting and the fireplaces burning on a cold night is just what you need to help you relax.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Holiday Inn Express is convenient to the Ohio Expo and Fairgrounds. It was why I stayed there to take the state medical board in December, 2011. Pluses: Room was warm and clean; front desk staff were friendly and efficient; easy check-in and check-out; plenty of clean towels and linens. Minuses: Pool small and cold; toilet slow to nonexistent […] flow; rough neighborhood with only a Wendy's convenient to hotel. Would I stay there again? Yes, and bring more food from home to eat in the room so I don't have to go out in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Read more
