The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus Airport By IHG

Convenient Comfort Near Columbus Music Hotspots

Modern and practical, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus Airport offers a hassle-free stay just 9 miles from the heart of Columbus’ cultural and music scene. Located in Gahanna, this 3-star hotel is ideal for travelers flying in for a concert, with John Glenn Columbus International Airport only 1.2 miles away. The vibe here is relaxed and easygoing, with all the essentials covered for a music-filled weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the free airport shuttle, which makes post-concert travel a breeze. The hotel’s location keeps you close to major venues without the downtown noise, and the 24-hour front desk means late-night returns are no issue. With a check-out time of 12:00 PM, there's no rush the next morning — ideal after a late encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a stress-free base with free parking
  • Solo travelers catching a dream show and flying in
  • Couples making a relaxed weekend of it without downtown prices
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery with access to a pool and gym
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer value over frills

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a buffet and continental breakfast — perfect after a night out. While there’s no full restaurant on-site, nearby eateries in Gahanna are just a few minutes' drive or delivery away. No 24/7 room service, but you can always count on snacks from the lobby market.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about rest than revelry, you’re less than 15 minutes from downtown Columbus where you’ll find plenty of bars, breweries, and live music venues. It’s a smart option if you want easy access to nightlife without staying in the middle of it.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient airport location. The free shuttle and parking are big wins, and reviewers often mention the comfortable beds and quiet atmosphere — great for recharging after a show.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel isn’t in the thick of downtown, so you’ll need a ride to most venues. If you're looking for upscale dining or trendy hotel bars, this might not be your scene — but it delivers solid value and convenience.

The Bottom Line

If you're flying in for a concert and want a no-fuss stay with easy access to the airport and downtown Columbus, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbus Airport hits all the right notes.

Very good

Disliked: Faucet in the bathroom was set too close to the mirror so that the faucet handle hit the mirror when the water was turned on. Thankfully it didn't break the mirror, but poor design planning.
