Top Columbus Zoo and Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Columbus Dublin

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful hotel with an amazing breakfast. My only beef was that we had to pay $10 to park which I thought was a ridiculous add on fee. The hotel is located right off an expressway and is not in competition for parking. They have a huge parking lot. The $10 fee made no sense. You only see parking fees in downtown areas or areas with limited parking or competition for parking. No one who wasn't a guest in the hotel would park there."

Courtyard by Marriott Columbus Worthington

10/10 Excellent

"Stay was very comfortable and smooth."
