Hilton Garden Inn Columbus/Grove City

Comfort and Convenience Just Outside Columbus

Modern and welcoming, the Hilton Garden Inn Columbus/Grove City offers a relaxed retreat just 7.7 miles from downtown Columbus and its top concert venues. With clean, spacious rooms, handy amenities like free WiFi, an indoor pool, and an on-site restaurant and bar, this 3-star hotel balances comfort with convenience for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy access to downtown Columbus without the hassle of downtown traffic or noise. The hotel is close enough for a quick ride to shows at the Ohio Theater or Capitol Square, yet far enough for a peaceful night’s rest. Flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and a generous 12:00 PM check-out time give guests time to recover after a late show, and the 24-hour front desk ensures you’re never left in the lurch. Plus, free parking and nearby highway access make getting in and out a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a convenient, comfortable base
• Solo travelers on a concert pilgrimage
• Couples making a weekend getaway of it
• Fans who want a quieter, less hectic post-show space
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar make it easy to grab a bite before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, there’s room service during regular hours and plenty of walkable dining options nearby. A solid breakfast is available in the morning — ideal if you’ve had a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat, you’re just a short drive from Columbus’s vibrant nightlife. Explore nearby bars and lounges, or wind down on the hotel’s sun terrace with a drink from the on-site bar. It’s a chill place to relax before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms, the friendly service at the front desk, and the ease of getting to and from downtown venues. The indoor pool and fitness center are also popular perks, especially for weekend stays.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the area around the hotel is fairly quiet, which can be a plus or a minus depending on your vibe. If you’re looking for a lively bar scene within walking distance, you may need to drive or rideshare downtown.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, comfy, and convenient base for your Columbus concert night, Hilton Garden Inn Columbus/Grove City hits the right notes.
