Courtyard by Marriott Columbus OSU

Modern Comfort Minutes from Downtown Columbus Music Venues

Located just 2.4 miles from the Ohio Theater and under 3 miles from other top Columbus attractions like Capitol Square and the Italian Village, Courtyard by Marriott Columbus OSU is a stylish 3-star hotel perfect for music lovers. With clean, modern rooms, an indoor pool, an on-site bar and restaurant, and thoughtful amenities like a 24-hour front desk, this hotel strikes the right balance between comfort and convenience.

Rooms are outfitted with air conditioning, work desks, and sleek private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hairdryers—everything you need to reset before or after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a hit with concert-goers thanks to its proximity to downtown venues—only a short rideshare away from spots like Ohio Theater and other local music halls. The area is quiet enough for a good night’s sleep but still close to all the action. The 12:00 PM checkout is a lifesaver after a late night, and the 24-hour front desk means zero stress if you're arriving late.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a show together
• Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a weekend of it
• Fans who need a quiet spot to recover post-gig
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want solid value

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar make grabbing a bite easy before or after your show. Late-night options are available, and breakfast is served American-style—perfect for a slow morning after a high-energy night. While there's no 24/7 room service, the area around the hotel has several walkable dining spots open late for night owls.

Nightlife Options

While there's no live music on-site, the hotel’s bar offers a relaxed spot for a nightcap, and you're only a quick trip from downtown Columbus’s nightlife scene. Whether you’re into local craft brews, low-key lounges, or lively bars, you're in the right place to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, modern design, and friendly staff. Many mention how convenient the location is for accessing both concert venues and Columbus attractions. The indoor pool and fitness center are also a welcome bonus for those looking to unwind or stay active.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer free breakfast, which could be a downside for some. Also, while it’s not right in the heart of downtown, it’s only a short drive or ride away—which many guests say is a fair trade for the quieter setting.

The Bottom Line

With a great mix of comfort, convenience, and concert-friendly perks, Courtyard by Marriott Columbus OSU is a solid choice for music fans looking to stay near the action without sacrificing sleep.
