Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a concert in downtown Columbus or at one of the nearby amphitheaters, this hotel puts you within a quick 15-minute drive of the action. After the show, retreat to a quieter suburb and avoid the downtown crowds. The late 3:00 PM check-in is perfect if you're arriving just in time for a night out, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to sleep in after a late show. Free parking and easy highway access make it a solid pick for those driving in.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert
- Solo travelers catching a big-name act
- Couples planning a relaxing weekend escape
- Fans needing a quieter place to crash post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who value convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full restaurant on-site, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast – perfect after a night out. A variety of fast-casual and sit-down dining options are within walking distance, and in-room microwaves and fridges mean you can stock up on snacks. If you're arriving late, Grove City has nearby spots open late to satisfy those post-concert cravings.

Nightlife Options

You're just minutes from Columbus’s vibrant nightlife, but if you’d rather stay local, Grove City has a growing bar and brewery scene. Check out nearby lounges or grab craft beer at one of the local breweries before or after your show. For a low-key night, the hotel offers a peaceful spot to unwind.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and quiet location. Many reviewers highlight how easy it is to get downtown without the hassle of downtown traffic. The breakfast gets frequent praise for being fresh and convenient, and travelers appreciate the indoor pool as a relaxing perk.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn't have a bar or full-service restaurant on-site, so you’ll need to venture out for more lively food and drink options. Some guests mention that rooms facing the highway can be a bit noisy, so asking for a room on the quieter side might be a smart move.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, affordable stay with quick access to Columbus concert venues, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Grove City hits all the right notes.
