Hotels Near Skate Zone 71 in Columbus

I would give this hotel a 3.5 for this trip if I could. I will first start out by saying this hotel is nice. I found it to be very clean and nicely decorated. The location is great and by many fun things and restaurants. The employees were very friendly as well. We usually frequent the Holiday Inn on E. Broad Street in Columbus and always have a good time. We love the pool, hot tub, and breakfast. I chose this hotel because I figured it would be even better than the E. Broad location. The top things I was looking for was a good breakfast, pool, and hot tub. Which is why I chose to stay with a Holiday Inn. None of the three things we were looking forward to were satisfactory. The hot tub was dismantled, the breakfast was cold, and my 9 year old wouldn't even swim in the pool because it ”looked bad.” It's fair to mention that she LOVES to swim so it was weird she wouldn't even step foot in the pool. The breakfast has always been phenomenal at Holiday Inn. We really enjoy the hot breakfast choices, so it was a big disappointment when the ”hot items” were cold. We ended up skipping breakfast the second day because it wasn't worth waking up early for. Also worth mentioning, though probably not the hotel's fault, the electricity went out three times in one night. We were trying to watch Stranger Things since there was nothing else to do at the hotel and we ended up giving up after it went out for the third time. Employees were apologetic, which I do appreciate. So basically we chose this hotel as a quick stay-cation after we had to cancel our camping trip to Michigan. (Thanks, gas prices!) We ended up spending almost the entire time just in the room watching TV, which is definitely not what we had planned for. I could have saved hundreds of dollars and did that at home. :) If the hot tub and pool had been operational and in good shape, we would have been perfectly pleased. Had this been the case, I would have given this hotel 5 stars. I really do appreciate the kind employees and the cleanliness, but this just wasn't worth the money this time.

The location very close to Ohio State University is the biggest advantage of this hotel. At the same time, the service quality and attitude of the front desk are also very good, and the check-in and check-out procedures are very simple. The facilities in the room are relatively complete, but the area is small. If you live alone, you can barely make do, but if you live with two or more people, the experience will be very bad.

Although I already paid over Trip.com I was taken off the room again and when I told them e I had already paid it was told me this was cancelled but next day I received a message against my bank The room was charged to me so I had to pay the room 3 times. I wouldn't check in there anymore because it is connected with very many circumstances. From 9:00 a.m. it's going to be noisy because the staff when cleaning the room sound music hears something nervous I have to say.

Front desk was really friendly and location is close to campus but that is about all I can say about our stay here. When we checked in for the game they didn't inform us that they would be running a shuttle to the game so by the time we saw them they were all booked up. We had friends to our room the first night for pizza and beer. The next morning I requested housecleaning for the room because we had pizza boxes and empty beer bottles and no clean towels. The response was sorry you aren't eligible for housekeeping until the next day! So I explained and they didn't care, their response was set the trash in the hallway and come down to the front desk for clean towels. For over $300 a night, I wasn't expecting to do my own room cleaning, trash removal and towel service! Yes, they jack the room rates up over double for game weekends (I think that's called gouging).

We used reward points for this stay and it was a great value. The hotel was easily accessible off the interstate and was close to a mall; and a Costco was located across the street. We asked for a two queen bed suite and the room was outstanding. We had lots of room, a couch, and two flat screen televisions. There were plenty of plugs for our electronic devices and a Keurig coffee maker in the room. I would give this hotel a 6 plus if allowed.

I choose this hotel for its proximity to Nationwide Area, as I was visiting for a Columbus Blue Jackets game. I arrived around noon that day. I was able to have the valet park my vehicle and was able to check in early that afternoon without any hassle. The room was clean and everything was functioning. The room had what I believe are barn style doors so guests could close a door to the bathroom and the sleeping area. Meals are not included with the room. There is a dining area on the first floor that has limited breakfast options. The hotel does have a rooftop bar. The bar was a very nice area, and the bartenders were very friendly when serving drinks. However, one view from the rooftop is that of a neighboring parking garage.

This was a great stay for a great price. The only complaint that I have is that the housekeeping staff didn’t clean the room thoroughly before we checked in because I found an empty water bottle under the couch within an hour of our arrival. I Always prefer staying at Embassy Hotels because of the hot breakfast & evening reception. Of course because of COVID, there was only a grab & go breakfast plus the evening reception was nothing like the “pre-COVID” days. We were offered only 2 canned beers/piece plus a bag of chips. I understand why things are the way they are. I felt that this hotel was definitely on top of providing sanitation items like wipes at the elevators and hand sanitizer throughout the common areas. They tried to prevent families from gathering in common areas because they weren’t wearing masks but they still managed to do it. There were some very inconsiderate people there but that’s not a reflection on the hotel. I would definitely stay here again because the area was very quiet and the hotel was really nice.

not bad. Full of feeling!

Very clean and no smell. The clerk was very nice. Breakfast was good. The bed 🛏 was very soft and comfortable.
