The Spotlight on Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside Downtown Columbus

Modern comfort meets budget-friendly convenience at the Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center, located just off Interstate 71. Only a 15-minute drive to downtown Columbus, this hotel is ideal for concert-goers looking for an easy, affordable place to stay after the show. With free WiFi, complimentary parking, and essential amenities like satellite TV and work desks, it’s a practical home base for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s quick access to downtown venues while enjoying a quieter night’s sleep away from the crowds. The hotel’s proximity to the highway makes late-night rideshares and post-show drives simple. While check-in is from 3:00 PM, early arrivals and late check-outs can sometimes be arranged—just ask!

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable crash pad
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples making a weekend of it with shopping and shows
  • Fans who prefer a quieter night after a loud concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value-friendly comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests will find plenty of fast food and casual dining spots within walking distance or a short drive. Perfect for a post-show bite. There’s also vending machines available for late-night snacks. Breakfast options are available nearby if you're not rushing out early.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn't host live music, you're only a short drive from downtown Columbus, where bars, lounges, and music venues come alive after dark. Prefer to keep it chill? The quiet surroundings and private rooms make for a peaceful wind-down after the show.

What People Say

Guests love the affordable rates, ample parking, and easy highway access. Many reviews mention the hotel’s convenience for weekend events and concerts, noting it's a solid value for the price. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and rooms are generally clean and spacious enough for groups or couples.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a luxury stay, so if you're expecting high-end decor or premium amenities, you may want to adjust your expectations. Some guests note that the property could use cosmetic updates, and WiFi speed can vary. Still, for the price and location, it's hard to beat.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a concert in Columbus and need a budget-friendly, no-fuss place to stay with easy access to venues, the Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center delivers exactly that.

Exceptional - 5.0 out of 5

Brian F, Gallipolis, visiting The King of Clubs Columbus Mon, 17 February 2025

We weren't looking for a 5 star hotel. The room was clean; smelled decent; hot water; friendly staff. We had a very pleasant stay. Reasonable price and clean. The location is perfect for shows at The King of Clubs.

Liked: Price; location; staff; clean rooms.
Disliked: TV gave us a little bit of a problem, staff corrected very quickly.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Darin, Collingwood

Before I list the problems I will say the location was great for going to Crew Stadium (10 minute cab ride) and the price was cheap - but unfortunately, you get what you pay for. There was a different smell in the hallway each day - my room had a musty smell, my buddy's room smelt like a sewer. No fridge in two of three rooms (you could see the imprints in the carpet where a fridge was); safe and coffee maker didn't work in one room; car keys found under the comforter in one room which meant they didn't change the sheets. Someone mentioned in a review that the rooms didn't have an iron - well my room had two iron burns in the carpet, so at one time they did have irons - maybe it was because of this the irons were taken away. Live and learn.

Disliked: Not recommended.

My stay at Days Inn was horrible. I will never stay there again - the hotel didn't look anything like the pictures online. It was old and key card was not needed for some doors, so therefore anyone could enter hotel. You would think a hotel that big would have irons - I had to go over to Knights Inn to borrow an iron to iron my clothes. I could have stayed at Motel 6 for a cheaper price and an iron.

Disliked: Very old and smelly hotel.
