Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t have a restaurant, you’re in luck — there are several casual dining spots within walking distance, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after the concert. Fast food, diners, and sit-down chains are all nearby. Coffee is available in the lobby, and breakfast options can be found just down the road.

Nightlife Options

You’re about 10–15 minutes from the buzz of downtown Columbus, where you’ll find live music bars, breweries, and lounges. Prefer a low-key night? The hotel’s peaceful surroundings are ideal for winding down. No on-site bar, but the nearby options make up for it.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent value. Many note that the location is ideal for getting to concerts without paying downtown prices. The free Wi-Fi and outdoor pool also get positive mentions, especially in warmer months.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel — think practical over plush. Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated, and while rooms are clean, the vibe is more motel than boutique. Don’t expect room service or an in-house bar, but for the price, it delivers.

The Bottom Line

If you want a clean, convenient, and affordable place to crash after the show, Red Roof Inn Columbus - Grove City hits the right notes.
