Best Hotels near Gahanna Historical Society, Gahanna

We had a work conference here over the weekend, so no choice in where we stay as there was a block rate for rooms. From pictures it looked like it was going to be a very nice stay in a good location close to Polaris. Parking is very slim here when there are multiple conferences going on and we had to park in the overflow lot several times. When we checked in the clerk was very friendly and we had no issues. We had a King Suite w/ Sofa Sleeper Room. The room was average at best, the carpet didn't look like it had been swept with crumbs and such on it. The bed was hard as a rock with lumpy pillows (probably the worst 3 nights of sleep I have had in a long time). The A/C/Heater is so loud its like an airplane coming into land and woke us up every single time it kicked on. It was so bad the 3rd night we slept with it completely shut off. The bathroom was very small and I had no hot water when showering for the 3 days I was here. I feel like they dont have a large enough water heating system to properly supply hot water when the hotel is at capacity which it was this weekend. The water pressure was also weak and hard to rinse the soap of your hair or body. It is not ideal on how the bathroom is set up either as I needed to be up early for my conference daily while my family was trying to sleep. There is no door in the sink area so you have to blind the rest of the room to get ready, there is only a small pocket door that closes for the shower and toilet. Poor design if you're traveling with others. The conference facilty is across from the hotel section and you have to walk outside to get there. There were multiple conferences going on and we were in the rear portion, the conference area is clean and well maintained. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable and we had no tables which made for two days of classroom learning pretty miserable, not sure if the hotel it to blame or our organization on this one, but other rooms appeared to have nicer chairs and table set up. The food that was served for the conference was excellent quality and there were always cold and hot drinks available which was very nice. The Bar area was huge and poured good drinks, the worst part again is it is not connected to the hotel and you do have to walk outside to get there. The Fitness Center was great and had everything you could need for a hotel gym, treadmills, bikes, elliptical, water machine, towels etc. Overall I would not choose to stay here for a trip unless it was necessary for the conference as the hotel room quality was not up to par.

Great to see the improvements that Sonesta has made at this hotel. We have stayed here in the past and this was an improved experience for sure. Assistance at the front desk was good. When requested to make a change in my room it was facilitated without any problem. Rooms are well equipped and spacious. Quality of WIFI in the hotel is good. With 2 elevators you can get up and down quickly enough. It is nice to see that the inhouse bar / restaurant has remained. Good menu and options. The morning breakfast is Okish; not really worth the money at the moment. So definately room for improvement here. All together a good hotel to stay if you are in Columbus!

Stayed 2 nights in 2 queen suite for the Ohio State football game. Pros: Location is in a cluster of other hotels right across from airport tower & had easy access from highways; free parking; breakfast was average, but well stocked & the attendant was great; room was spacious, had decent beds, lots of outlets/charming ports, and was clean overall. Outdoor pool looked very nice, but rainy weather didn’t allow us to use it. Cons: The pillows on 1 of the beds had a terrible odor & had to be removed from the bed. The tv remote did not work properly. Shower drain didn’t drain well. I thought the “suite” was supposed have both a fridge and a microwave (according to the room reservation)… but there was only a fridge in the room. No room safe. The carpets in the hallways are in desperate need of replacement. Overall, it was a fine place to stay for a couple nights while in town for the game. Staff was very friendly. And proximity to the airport is probably a huge perk if not driving into town. Note: There is a McDonald’s next door to hotel and within walking distance. However, only the drive-thru is only open after certain hours. Not a great option for late night food if flying in late and won’t have access to a car.

Very nice clean place to stay!

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 personally booked a room without breakfast, Chinese tourists noticed that there are no toiletries and slippers. Every day, I have breakfast in the restaurant next door. The overall environment is good. There is a parking lot. There are several ordinary hotels nearby. The room cleaning staff is not very good. The work is not working hard. Maybe my tip is less than 5 dollars a day. 😅

I was at the bar with my girlfriend (USA), they took care of us very well, Manuel approached us to welcome us, he spoke to us in two languages Spanish and English I felt very comfortable because in the conversation it is of the same nationality (Peru), it is the first time we went and we want to return soon, all the service and the room was A1

My family and I stayed at this property twice in July while visiting the Columbus area for business. Overall both our stays were amazing! When we checked in during the first stay, (July 14th for one night) we got the warmest welcome from Autumn at the front desk. She assigned us two king rooms up on the 4th floor. (Rooms 429 and 432) Both the rooms were immaculate and had no strong smells or odors. The beds were very comfortable. On our second stay, (July 24th for one night) we were greeted with another super warm welcome from the young woman at the front desk, we were assigned rooms 421 and 432 which were both kings during this stay. Again, both the rooms were overall amazing!! Overall I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Everyone we encountered was super kind and did whatever they could to make our stay enjoyable. The location is also super safe and I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in the Westerville area! This Aloft is amazing.
