The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown

Stay in the Heart of Columbus with Style and Comfort

Modern yet welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown offers a home-away-from-home feel right in the center of the city. Just a short stroll from Capitol Square and Ohio Theater, this all-suite hotel combines convenience with comfort. Whether you’re in town for a big show or seeking a weekend escape, the hotel’s spacious rooms and central location make exploring downtown Columbus a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is within easy walking distance of some of Columbus’s most popular music venues, so there’s no need to stress about parking or rideshares. The 24-hour front desk and late check-out at noon mean you can enjoy your night without rushing the next morning. Sound insulation in rooms helps keep the post-concert buzz outside, making it easier to get some rest. Plus, with free bike rentals, you’ve got a fun, eco-friendly way to get to shows across downtown.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share a suite with a kitchen
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter space to recharge after a high-energy show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offer convenient dining without having to leave the hotel. While there’s no full 24/7 room service, many rooms come equipped with full kitchens featuring a microwave, fridge, and dishwasher—perfect for late-night bites. The hotel also offers a complimentary breakfast, ideal after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You're steps from some of the city's best bars, lounges, and live music spots. While the hotel bar offers a relaxing drink close to home, the surrounding downtown area gives you plenty of options to keep the night going. Whether you're into craft brews, cocktails, or low-key lounges, you’ll find something nearby.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s central location, clean and spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Many mention the convenience of having a well-equipped kitchen and appreciate the complimentary breakfast. Travelers also love the blend of historic charm and modern amenities.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel's downtown location can come with a bit of street noise, particularly on weekends. A few also mentioned that parking can be pricey, but the availability of private parking helps ease the pain.

With its perfect downtown location, comfortable suites, and easy access to Columbus’s top music venues, Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus Downtown is a smart and stylish pick for concert-goers.

Overpriced and needs cleaned, limited...

Liked: The staff was very nice!
Disliked: We had a suite. When I called for ice I was told we had a fridge. The fridge’s ice maker was empty. When ice was brought up to the room there was a long black hair frozen in it. I did call and have them bring more ice up.There was a dark, curly pubic hair in the corner of the bathroom when we got there. Also, went down to breakfast around 8am. Was already out of orange juice, English muffins, blueberry muffins and the other flavor was not empty. Disappointed, it was only 1.5 hours into breakfast with 1.5 hours left.
