Homewood Suites by Hilton Columbus-Hilliard

Overall this hotel is nice and were accommodating during its renovation, but that really doesn’t stop keeping the place clean. In walking into the lobby, there was a musty smell that continued throughout the first floor. Upon entering the elevator it appeared they had ripped up the carpet and left the original green linoleum tile with the old existing carpet tape. During the evening reception, the food that was placed out for the guest was never refilled and upon my arrival nearly 40mins prior to the end of the event. Breakfast was similar, items were never replaced and the heating trays were left unattended and empty. The dark coffee dispenser was either empty or broken each of the 3 days I was there, I spoke with the attendant and they assured me that it would be taken care of, but my last morning it remained in the same fashion. Hopefully, once the hotel completes the renovations it’ll return to the standard I would expect a Hilton property to be.

My stay here last night was pleasurable as I would expect from Homewood Suites. I am a Diamond with Hilton and always enjoy my stays at Homewood Suites. Their rooms are spacious being that they are two room suites with a small kitchen. They also always have a good breakfast and on weeknight a managers reception that includes food and drink. You really don’t have to go out and eat dinner at a restaurant.
This property is nice with an indoor pool. My bed was comfortable and the ac worked fine. Check in was friendly and easy. Parking was adequate.
I give 3 stars because staying here met my expectations for Homewood Suites. I recommend staying here. Very convenient to everything in Hilliard. Many places to eat and shop nearby.

Very nice hotel. Close to the freeway and my office (which is the only reason I visit Columbus OH!)
Rooms are nice sized suites with a full kitchen and big refrigerator. Separate sitting room with a sofa and tv. They even offer a full meal for bfast AND dinner!
Overall very nice when compared to other locations I’ve been and for the value. Would recommend and would stay here again.

I really like staying at Homewood Suites and this location is nice. The prices at this hotel do vary throughout the year. All Homewood Suites room in this location have a kitchenette area then a separate bedroom area. This location does not offer the «studio» set up like some other Homewood Suite locations provide. However, it’s like staying in a little apartment. Some suites also come with a fireplace which is a nice perk! This location provides an indoor pool, exercise facility, and business center.
I was able to get the rooms for really good rate last year however in May the rates shot up to almost $ 140/​night.

Ya know, you really can’t beat Homewood Suites for maximum bang for your buck, especially for folks looking for an extended stay sorta deal.
For around $ 90/​night, you get:
[] A giant freakin’ suite with a separate bedroom– like, with a door. A door!
[] A full kitchen– not some lame kitchenette thing– a real kitchen with a dishwasher, full size fridge, microwave, disposal, stove… and all brandy-​new and un-​suck-​ulous
[] The hotel staff will go grocery shopping for you– for free. You pay for the groceries of course, but there’s no added service charge for them to be your go-​fer
[] Laundry facilities on site– though you can also send your laundry out, too
[] Indoor pool — clean and awesome (not huge, but so what?)
[] Bathrooms that have an enthusiastic fan, one of those heat-​lamps that make you feel like you’re a piece of Roy Rogers chicken (am I dating myself?), and no mystery-​pubes in the tub
[] A super-​comfortable bed… like, really, really comfortable… with about 749 pillows
[] Free hot breakfast buffet in the mornings… yes, they have waffles
[] Free dinner at night on Mondays through Thursdays. Tonight is chicken cacciatore night. Think about that: I don’t have to go spend money on dinner, because Homewood Suites will feed me for freakin’ FREE. Holy crap! I am not expecting it to be all Mario Batali or anything, but dude– all you have to do is say «Free chicken cacciatore, yo» and I am THERE
[] Bathroom items that you’d actually wanna use– hello, Neutrogena products. Thank you for not making me stink like the sachet department of a Bed Bath and Beyond.
[] Room in the bathroom for your stuff. We’re talkin’ drawers and cabinets, not just counter space.
[] Hot coffee in the lobby all the live-​long day/​night. They even have decaf for geezers like me.
[] Exercise room with equipment that works and stuff. They even have a basketball court.
Also: The staff rocks.
CONS:
OK, I’d be lying if I said there were no negatives. But really, the only negative thing I can think of is that their wifi is really slow and drops out a lot. Could be overloaded; not sure. But if you’re a techie who can tether your laptop to your phone, definitely do that for ‘net access, because the wireless stinks. So, one star off for that.
OK, my work here is done. Time for mah chicken dinner.

I am extremely impressed with this hotel!
The location is in an upscale and new/​clean looking area with plenty of stores and restaurants nearby.
The girls at the front desk were so kind and helpful (they went out of their way to find the location of a great mani/​pedi spot.)
The rooms are extremely spacious with a full kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, stove, fridge). My room had a separate eating and living area. French doors separated the living room from the bedroom. The bathroom was also clean.
Breakfast consisted of actual food. Sausage, potatoes, pancakes, scrambled eggs, cereals, muffins, bagels, toast, fruit… even homemade brownies!
I was here for such a short time I was unable to utilize the pool, executive area and exercise room– but passing by them they looked great!
The price was out of this world! If you pay in full (no deposits) my price was only $ 98.00. Crazy, huh? Well, I posted pictures because seeing is believing.
I’m not sure if I visited during off season or what… it was Columbus Day weekend… but the price may change depending on your visit.

I have booked many friends and family members in this particular hotel (and location) because the experience there is always so pleasant. The area itself (Mill Run) is very nice and clean with many dining locations as well as a nearby theatre (see Movie Tavern review). The hotel itself is very quaint and charming. I love the coziness of it and the friendliness of the staff, not to mention the many perks that are inclusive in your stay. I would highly recommend this location and the other Homewood Suites throughout the U.S. I have stayed at them all over the U.S. and have never been let down. :)
