Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center

It was in a convenient location and staff was friendly

Even in our non smoking room we could smell smoke seeping from vent of the restroom.

Location

Many questionable spots on doors and curtains. TV didn’t work. Bed was comfy but need bigger pillows!

It was affordable & not far from the concert.

It had cockroaches dude, like, a lot of them. There was blood on the base of the toilet. It smelled like cat piss which is weird because it’s a hotel. The room itself was in a state of disrepair, it looked as if the bathroom door had been kicked in recently & the ceiling sagged in multiple areas.

We cheat because all we needed was a place to sleep and shower. Unfortunately, the shower in our room had very little water pressure. The sink also had very little water pressure. The room was booked for two people, but there was only one set of towels. When I called down in the morning, I was told to come to the front desk because there was only one person working. The code to our room also reset while we were out, so when we came back late and tired, we had to make another trip to the front desk to get another code for the room. We got what we paid for, I guess. But I have had much better experiences for the same price at other places.

I wouldn't recommend this place it has a special funk to it.

When we arrived for check in, we found out that our room was cancelled because we used Expedia and did not prepay but chose to pay upon check in. We are in town for the Sonic Temple, Ohio’s largest rock music festival. We booked months in advance and there are no hotels available this weekend for months before the event. Apparently the hotel called me during Metallica and I didn’t hear my phone ring. They called because they had inquiries about same day booking so because I didn’t answer my phone they cancelled my room and gave it to someone else. When we entered it smelled terrible. I thought at first it was the concert attendees in the lobby but it was the entire hotel. The staff member at the desk attempted to help. He asked us if we would be ok with a room without a shower because it was all they had left. Knowing every other hotel was booked I said yes. The room wouldn’t unlock and when he finally got us in it was absolutely disgusting. Technically the room had a shower, it was just filled with filth. There were empty toilet paper rolls and dirt in the bathroom. The furniture had scuffs and gunk on them. The tv had a cracks in it. There was a broken safe on the ground. Between the mattresses there were food crumbs and a small insect of some sort. The walls were paper thin and we could hear everything the people next door were saying and “doing”. We left immediately. We did get a refund but this place was absolute trash. We slept in the car versus in this place.

It was available

$200 and there's bedbugs. I could've slept outside and been less itchy. There's a $100 deposit they don't tell you about too. Total shit hole

There was trash on the floor and wastebasket, The room may not have been cleaned since the last guest.
