What used to be a nice hotel has gone downhill. I stayed for a one night conference and waited in a long line for one person at the front desk. Carpet was worn throughout the hotel. Stayed on a top floor which smelled moldy. The sleep kit was nice in the rooms. The bed/pillows were comfortable and view was terrific.... more

Just visited the Crowne Plaza Downtown for business for four days. The staff at the hotel was above standards in all ways. The front desk staff used our names, followed up with a welcome call, and because of a line we experienced at the desk on day two, they gave us access to the Club lounge for the night! The... more

Great location if you are involved with activities downtown, at the convention center or going to the Short North. Stayed 4 nights in April 2008 (a long weekend). Used priceline and ended up at the Crowne for 60% off their published rates (below $75 a night). Note that if you use valet parking - its $21 a day with in/out... more

The Crowne Plaza has a great staff, but some serious limitations as to quality. I checked in early on the day of my arrival, with no problems. Went up to the room which was a decent size. First thing I noticed was that the carpet hadn't been vaccuumed properly, as there were goldfish crackers on the floor. Over the four... more

Just stayed at the Crowne Plaza. I selected it due to its location downtown. I am glad that I did. It is walking distance to restaurants and nightlife. I had a room near the elevator. It was pretty large and I didn't hear anything. Everthing was very clean and comfortable. The shower had decent pressure. The towels were a bit... more

A nice place to stay. Max & Erma's restaurant next door is a convienient sports-pub with decent brews & TV's to watch "the game", etc. The staff at Crowne Plaza was plesent & the rooms were above average (clean, roomy, good selection of TV, etc.). I like to workout & the facility was just below average, but accommodating, nonetheless. Plus,... more

We can't really complain about the price (though valet parking at $21 /night is a bit steep), and on the whole we enjoyed our stay. A few disappointments, though--1) when we arrived, there was no valet, no bellperson, etc., to help/greet us. The people at the front desk inside could plainly see us, but made no effort (even though they... more

We live in Columbus and stayed here for a work function. The hotel was great. Pros: Very clean. The bathroom was spotless!! Location-We could see Nationwide arena from our room. Within walking distance to North Market and the Short North, the Convention Center, Goodale Park, Arena Grand, multiple bars and restaurants in the Arena District. Staff was very courteous. Cons:... more

If you're staying here in the summer on a weekend, consider requesting to be put on the south side of this hotel, away from High St. and Nationwide Blvd. Was here on a Friday night. A great bar 1-1/2 blocks away (Frog, Bear and Wild Boar) cranks its music on the patio in warm months, and you could hear the... more
