The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus OSU

Spacious Comfort Just Minutes from Columbus Concert Venues

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus OSU offers a relaxed, upscale vibe just a short drive from downtown Columbus and key music venues. Located on Olentangy River Road, this all-suite hotel blends comfort and convenience with a residential-style feel, perfect for fans who want to unwind in style after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a quick ride from top venues like Nationwide Arena and KEMBA Live!, and with free parking and complimentary bike rentals, getting around is easy. Back late from a show? The 24-hour front desk and room service have you covered. Plus, the hotel maintains a peaceful atmosphere—ideal for decompressing after a loud night out. A flexible 4:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading to a show, and the 11:00 AM check-out won’t rush your morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the spacious suites with full kitchens and seating areas. Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list artist can feel safe and at home, while couples can make a weekend of it with the indoor pool and cozy lounge. For those who want a quieter place to recharge after the encore, this spot is a solid pick. And if you're keeping an eye on spending, the free breakfast and ability to cook in-room are a big win for budget-conscious fans.

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show with the on-site restaurant and snack bar. Late-night cravings? Room service is available 24/7. The in-room kitchens also make it easy to prep your own snacks. And for those slow mornings after a big night, the continental and buffet breakfast options are served daily.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a laid-back bar, you're just a short ride from Columbus's vibrant bar and club scene, including hotspots in the Short North and Arena District. Whether you want to pre-game, keep the party going, or just sip a craft cocktail, options abound nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and quiet surroundings. Many travelers highlight the great value for the price, location convenience, and well-equipped rooms perfect for longer stays. The indoor pool and fitness center get thumbs up too.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers noted that the hotel is a bit farther from downtown nightlife than they'd hoped, so having a car or ride-share app is helpful. A few guests mentioned that the breakfast space can get crowded on weekends—just plan ahead if you're in a rush.

The Bottom Line

With its roomy suites, quiet vibe, and easy access to Columbus music venues, Residence Inn by Marriott Columbus OSU hits all the right notes for concert-goers.

Blown away by amenities, and...

Liked: The staff was quick to assist us with everything we needed! My Mom is blind, and our room was comfortable, completely accessible, and your staff was so friendly! Even the pool was clean, well maintained, and easily accessible for her! The continental breakfast, was AMAZING! And the woman who worked the breakfast area in the morning was an absolute treasure. She made sure my daughter and mother were comfortable, was so kind and engaging, we wanted to tip her, but she refused. She is an absolute treasure and we hope she is appreciated!The pillows, pure HEAVEN. And the bed was difficult to get out of. It was pure magic, even though it was a short overnight stay! The amenities and the amazing staff made our stay beyond worthwhile! I am now a loyal customer and will be sure to seek Residence Inn by Marriott out, whoever our travels take us! HUGE bang for our buck!
Disliked: The ice machine fiasco! It took me forever to find said ice machine, and I ended up having to ask where it was. Once I found it, there were no buckets, so I went back to the room to find one, and there wasn't one at all. Had to use a trash can to transfer ice to our cooler. Also, the sleeper couch mattress was an absolute joke. We ended up having to get a stowaway bed, and even that mattress left us having to add the couch cushions on top, for it to be comfortable for a 150lb adult! Perhaps an upgrade there? But, we made it work!Please know, these issues are so very minor to us, more so an inconvenience, and the employee who brought the stowaway bed went above and beyond to try to remedy the problem, but we just ended up using the couch cushion, and it worked fine for us, for one night. It would probably be an issue if it was more than one, though!
