Relaxed Comfort Near the Heart of Columbus Music

Modern and welcoming, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbus OSU blends convenience and comfort just minutes from Ohio State University and Columbus’s top music venues. With a clean, classic style and easy access to downtown, this hotel is a solid choice for concert-goers looking for a stress-free stay.
Enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub, spacious rooms with free WiFi, and a daily hot continental breakfast — all in a central location just off Olentangy River Road.

Stayed here for a visit to OSU for 2 nights. Overall, just an average property - guess I expected a little more. Basic room - was clean and everything in working order in the room. Disappointed there was not a fridge in the room - that would be a nice addition. Pool is very small, one of the smallest I have seen in a hotel of this type. Hot tub not working during my stay. Breakfast offerings are adequate, but I felt it was not as good as what I might find elsewhere. Might not stay here again if I find something else in the same price range.

Liked: Clean; good location.
Disliked: No fridge; hot tub not working.
