Top Watkins Island Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Columbus I-70E/Hamilton Rd

8/10 Good

"It was good."

Sonesta Columbus Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay, highly recommend. Great area"

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

8/10 Good

"Clean, but old"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbus I-70E/Reynoldsburg

8/10 Good

"Room was okay"

DogHouse Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a BLAST! We ended up extending our visit, abdominal so glad we did! Tilly had energy to spare and was a wealth of knowledge and even gave us a tour of the brewery. Carolyn made sure we were satisfied with our room and helped us navigate our room. Haley made sure to take awesome care of us and you could tell she had her teams back! Jose in the bar made sure we had the best service and experience. I usually don't get names when traveling, but this group took the time and effort to give us personalized attention they more than deserve the same respect! This hotel itself is great by itself with very clean rooms, interactive grounds, board games, pinball machines, outside firepits, food and drinks on site; the staff are absolutely top notch!"

Tru By Hilton Columbus East Broad

10/10 Excellent

"Always saw housekeeping wiping down common areas. Room was clean and modern."

Columbus Airport Marriott

8/10 Good

"the room was clean however a full length mirror will be awesome to have and a microwave didn't like to pay to park our vehicles on the property especially when the rates are so high"

Relax Inn by OYO Columbus OH I 70

10/10 Excellent

"Struggled to find the lobby (it’s in the nearest corner to the entrance drive way). Otherwise, fine visit."

Baymont by Wyndham Lancaster

8/10 Good

"The bed was extremely comfortable and there were two types of pillows to choose from. The only cleaning issue I noticed was the shower head needed a good scrubbing. The water pressure was great. The bathroom is small - you had to squeeze in to close the door. The sink was annoying because the faucet is not long enough to wash hands without hitting the back wall. Breakfast had a pretty good selection, but room is tight. The clerk who checked us in was very matter-of-fact and not too friendly. The property looked great and the inside looked much newer than what it is. We would definitely stay again."
