Howard Johnson by Wyndham Columbus State Fairgrounds I-71

The bathroom was dirty when we checked in. I talked to the front desk guy about it and he said those are stains. I had to go buy cleaning products and clean it myself. It was terible I don’t recommend it to anyone!!

In their property page, they state they have a gym and a pool, of which both weren't available! They advertise that breakfast is free, but there is no warm food, only cereal, coffee, toast & oatmeal. We had to change rooms immediately upon arrival, because the room had not been cleaned. Overall, the whole facility was unclean and smelled bad!

Clean room

The room was covered in splattered paint/marker. There was "game" cards covered in dust above the lamps, smoke detector coveres in plastic bag. No towels or washcloths, 1/2 roll of toilet paper. Door looked busted/pried open. Deadbolt wouldn't lock. Outside had homeless persons clothes around the trash cans, dumpters, looking in the windows was mattresses stacked up in the hallways.

The staff here are great; very helpful and accommodating when need be. I have stayed here numerous times and will again. Yes the hotel is dated and some parts are a little run down, but it’s plenty passable and a comfortable stay. Great price as well.

This hotel was trifling! I booked a hotel

We checked in at the front desk. Smell was overwhelming. We were in the room for about 4 minutes. Food, crumbs, cut up pills on the floor. Stains on the walls. Bugs behind the nightstand. Clumps of hair and garbage between the mattresses and box spring. We immediately asked for a refund and left. Environment completely unsafe.

The property seems to have been either out of service for years and just reopened again, or allowed to run into the ground with zero maintenance. There's obvious and severe decay in everything from furniture, stained carpet, broken shower head, rusty microwave, mirror removed from wall and kept in a corner, and the list goes on and on. The wallpaper is simply peeling off of walls and ceiling, half of the dining room being used for storage, and an offensive musty smell all over the place. The only good thing is the staff who seem to be doing their best under the circumstances. I'm told this place is scheduled for a complete reno. Maybe they should shut it down, renovate and then reopen once it's ready to house guests again. Pictures in the ad are probably from its prime, the place is nowhere even close to it anymore.

Couldn’t get any sleep. Divider door of the facility was next to my room and was being slammed every three minutes all night. I didn’t bother staying. Bathroom sink leaked like crazy, building had some minor damage on the doors and walls as well.

Room smelt like smoke, mold in the bathroom, and the AC unit was broken. Hallway smelt like mold and smoke. Furniture was damaged, was nothing like shown in the pictures.
