Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison East

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison East

10/10 Excellent
"There was some confusion as my booking stated free breakfast but they didn’t put the buffet out so the only thing they covered was the cost of breakfast in the restaurant and not the tip I gave the waiter. Dinner from tailwinds was really good. I like the soaps and shampoo in the bathroom. Better than the tiny bottles."
