Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express Columbus Downtown by IHG

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Thoughtful service with a smile"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The night desk person was perfect and is every time I"m there.

26-Jan-2026 Verified Review, stayed from Thu Jan 08 to Fri Jan 09 2026 at a $107.95 average nightly rate.
"Helpful staff, great location!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
My stay was very pleasant, all the staff were helpful, from answering questions, to supplying us with extra towels and getting us new room cards when ours stopped working every day. The building is older but nothing is in disrepair or broken…except for the pancake machine, but that’s such a small negative, it didn’t detract from the stay. Free hot breakfast, a five minute walk from a grocery story and a convenience store right across the street made this an excellent location. We stayed here for Lost Lands 2025 and while it was a 15 minute walk away from the shuttle pick up, it was only a $10 Lyft.
