Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Madison

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Madison

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay overall. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and the staff was polite and friendly. Our room was comfortable, and the breakfast had a good variety with everything being kept well stocked. The only disappointment was the beverage selection at breakfast. There was no juice available, so the only options were coffee and lemon water. Having orange juice or another juice option would have made the breakfast experience even better. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying here again."
