Hampton Inn By Hilton Columbus-South

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside Downtown Columbus

Modern, cozy, and convenient, Hampton Inn By Hilton Columbus-South sits in Grove City, just about 15 minutes from downtown Columbus and major concert venues like Ohio Theater and the Columbus Commons. This 3-star hotel combines laid-back suburban calm with easy access to city nightlife, making it a great launchpad for any music-filled night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—and this hotel keeps you close to the downtown action without the noise. Just 7.5 miles from City Center and Ohio Theater, you’re a quick Uber or Lyft away from your show. After the encore, come back to a quiet, restful space that’s far enough from the hustle to let you wind down. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals a breeze, and free WiFi means you can post your concert pics before hitting the pillow.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers vending machines stocked with snacks and drinks—perfect for a post-show bite. The free hot breakfast is a major bonus, especially if your night ran late. Plus, you’re in Grove City, just minutes from plenty of walkable dining options ranging from fast food to local eats.

Nightlife Options

You’re just a short ride from Columbus’s top nightlife spots, including bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer something more laid-back? Grove City has its own share of casual pubs and breweries, so you can keep the night going close to home—or not at all.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviewers highlight the quiet atmosphere despite the convenient location near the city. The indoor pool and fitness center are also appreciated perks, especially for those staying more than a night.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s décor is a bit dated compared to newer Hampton properties, and while there's no on-site bar or restaurant, the nearby options more than make up for it. Also, being just outside the city means you'll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable, and budget-friendly place to stay near Columbus after a concert, Hampton Inn By Hilton Columbus-South hits all the right notes.
