Union Station Video Cafe

1 of 5 stars

Dec 4, 2008

We had heard that this was a place to go for a good time and good food. I ordered a Filet Mignon cooked med/rare and was served a strip steak which was way overcooked. The service was terrible; the server had no knowledge of the menu and was pre-occupied with "something". When we received our check, I expected to be... more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quaint place to dine; we found Alana's! We got there and sat at the bar and were completely surprised at how friendly the service was! The wine list is extensive and the food is fabulous! Highly recommended! more

Elevator Brewery & Draught

5 of 5 stars
Middletown, MD
Dec 3, 2008

Simply put, this is my new favorite restaurant. Hubby and I like to travel, eat and drink. We have done this from NYC to San Antonio, so when I say that we have raved about Elevator to everyone who will listen to us, take it to the bank. First of all, Sam our waitress is almost certainly on to bigger... more

Fairfield Inn & Suites Columbus OSU

4 of 5 stars
Ashley,MI
Dec 3, 2008

Well since OSU was not in school things were very quiet perhaps more so than when the University is in session. However that said this is a very nice hotel , which is in an excellent location just off the highway and probably a couple of miles away from the stadium. The front desk people were tremendous in a nicely... more

Hyatt on Capitol Square

2 of 5 stars
Knoxville, Tennessee
Dec 3, 2008

Our stay was plagued by a "series of unfortunate events." Mostly circumstantial, but not acceptable for a hotel at this price level. The rooms had a slightly worn look and the layout was inconvenient. Also, this area of downtown is in decline: there are few restaurants or shops nearby and the attached mall is a ghost-town. more

Drury Inn & Suites Columbus Convention Center

1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at this hotel with our 2 girls over Thanksgiving weekend. We were in town for a huge dance competition. We had stayed at a Drury Inn and Suites before, and knew what to expect from this great hotel chain. As we had anticipated, our expectations where met and exceeded. The stay started off great from... more

Thurman Cafe

5 of 5 stars
Arlington, Virginia
Dec 1, 2008

In Columbus on business, and all I wanted was a burger and a beer. Thurman Cafe gave me both with a smile!! I had the Mushroom cheeseburger... 3/4 pound burger topped with yummy mushrooms and ooey gooey mozzarella cheese. This monstrous, juicy , burger was also served with ample amount of potato chips. This place has more than just burgers,... more

Hyatt Place Columbus/Worthington

3 of 5 stars
On the Beach, NC
Dec 1, 2008

Stayed the weekend of 11/22/08. Michigan Weekend. Nice refurbished motel. Great location with plenty of Restaurants. I'm old school and unless they have a doorman I will not call it a hotel. Nice rooms with great TV's. Ample space and layout for two people. Room was clean and neat. Attended the OSU whipping of the team up North. Did not... more

Hampton Inn & Suites Columbus Polaris

5 of 5 stars
Purcellville, VA
Dec 1, 2008

I booked this hotel for our Thanksgiving vacation based on the positive reviews on tripadvisor and it did NOT disappoint! Patrick at the front desk was very professional, kind and welcoming. He gave us both (my parents had a room there too) an upgrade to a king suite which had a nice wetbar with fridge and microwave, granite countertop and... more

Hilton Columbus Polaris

London
Dec 1, 2008

We previously stopped at this hotel in November, 2007, and stayed again this year. The hotel is very well appointed, was spotlessly clean and the staff could not have been nicer. I would stay there again if I travel to Columbus. more

The Westin Columbus

Dec 1, 2008

This was the second time I've stayed at this hotel. The previous time was approximately 4-5 years ago and the property seems to have improved since that visit. The staff were incredibly and unfailingly polite. (Perhaps that was because we were polite to them, and also because we made a courtesy call prior to our check in to let them... more

Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark Resort

5 of 5 stars
Cincinnati, OH
Nov 29, 2008

As someone who has been to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, OH and Cocoa Key in Cincinnati, OH, Fort Rapids is clearly the overall better choice. Cocoa Key's hotel is nice but there is no real western or alpind ambience and water slides and waterpark were very disappointing. While Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky was as good as Fort rapids... more

If not for the limited and often dirty tables this would be a five star. Can't beat the quality and creative offerings. more
