Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus - Worthington

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus - Worthington

8/10 Good
"The hotel was mostly good, but I noticed that the walls in the bathroom were dirty and looked like they haven't been cleaned properly in quite some time. The finish in the bathtub also showed significant wear. With that being said, the location was extremely convenient, being right off the freeway, and there were several restaurants within 100-200 yards of the hotel."
