Graduate by Hilton Columbus

This hotel is a great pick for anyone passing through Columbus, Ohio. With a Shake Shack and a bar right downstairs, you really don’t have to leave the building for anything. The valet service was quick and efficient, and every staff member we interacted with went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. We visited over a holiday weekend and expected some chaos, but everything ran incredibly smoothly—a real testament to how well this place is managed. I especially loved that it’s dog-friendly and that you can easily grab a snack or meal without ever stepping outside. The lobby has plenty of cozy spaces to relax and spend time with family or friends, which made it feel even more welcoming. Overall, a fantastic experience. Five stars all the way—and we’ll definitely be back!

Room was very dark (floors and walls are dark colored) and there’s not enough lighting - definitely providing that genuine “dorm-room feel” I suppose. There’s a bunch of lamps in the room, but they are still not bright enough to illuminate the interior of the closets and desk/hutch). Everything else was great and staff were very friendly. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT LOCATION!

At first, I wasn't feeling the hotel because I didn't understand the decor. After researching, I realized it was representing Ohio State University. It was a clean and relaxing room. It was hard to get up for the conference and had to attend. The staff is very helpful and friendly. What would make the hotel better is updated amenities like vending and ice machines, more update different pictures of the graduates. If you get the two cans of graduate water, drink it. The water was delicious.
