Modern, comfortable, and right in the heart of downtown Columbus, The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capital Square offers a solid base for music lovers. With clean, well-equipped rooms, a 24-hour front desk, and an on-site restaurant and lounge, this hotel brings a balance of convenience and comfort—just minutes from major concert halls and nightlife.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—The Plaza Hotel sits right on Capitol Square and is within easy walking distance to downtown venues. Whether you're heading to a stadium show or a more intimate gig, you can get there fast and even stroll back afterward. The 24-hour front desk and late check-out at 12:00 PM mean you can sleep in after a late night. It's also just a short ride to late-night eateries and local bars, with rideshare options readily available.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central crash pad after the show
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a weekend of concerts and downtown fun
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space in a calm setting
  • Budget-conscious music fans wanting value and location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s Plaza Restaurant and Lounge offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. There's also a full-service bar on-site for a pre-show drink. For late risers, breakfast is available, and a Starbucks in the lobby makes that morning-after coffee run super convenient. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, you’re close to plenty of downtown dining that stays open late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn't host live music, you’re right in the action. A short walk brings you to bars, lounges, and music clubs where local and touring acts play regularly. The on-site lounge offers a relaxed space to sip a drink before heading out, with local craft beers and cocktails on the menu.

What People Say

Guests love the location—it’s the biggest highlight for concert-goers. Reviews often mention the friendly staff, the comfortable beds, and the convenience of being able to walk to venues, restaurants, and the Statehouse. The view from upper floors is also a pleasant surprise for many.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is a bit dated in style, and a few say the rooms could use a refresh. Noise from nearby events or traffic can be heard in lower floor rooms, so request a higher level if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

If you’re coming to Columbus for a concert and want to stay central, comfortable, and close to the action, The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capital Square is a smart and affordable pick.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Rebecca, Hudson, visiting Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts

I arrived at 12:15 am, after a 12 hour work day, and had to wait 30 minutes. After 15 minutes a large group walked in and instead of fixing my issue, they made me wait while they took care of them. They had a system glitch and could never make me a room key, so they eventually the just let me in my room without a key, so I could not leave my room to do anything including my usual morning workout. They also told me someone would bring me a key, so I waited up another hour, until about 1:45 am, and no one ever showed up or contacted me. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom was dirty. The valet service the next day was really nice and quick. Overall, I only got a few hours of sleep before my business meeting early morning and wasted the money to drive up the night before.

Liked: Valet workers were very quick and pleasant; bed was comfortable.
Disliked: My check in took 30 minutes when I arrived at 12:15 am because they had an issue with their system; could not figure out how to make a key to my room - instead of just addressing the issue they took a large group of people in front of me and made me wait. They never ended up making me a key and I could not leave my room to do my usual work out routine, and the bathroom was dirty.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Ginger, Warren, visiting Ohio Theatre

We will be going back to the theater but will find a new hotel to stay at. Very disappointed.

Liked: The hotel was pretty.
Disliked: Room next to us had a dog that barked half the night; there were kids running the hall - looked like cheerleaders. To top it all off the cleaning service knocked on our door at 9:04am to see when we were leaving.

Very clean and everyone was very courteous. Check in and check out went very fast.

Disliked: Only 2 coffee cups in the room; everything else was perfect.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

DeeDee

We went to Columbus for our anniversary trip to attend a concert. The only good part of the hotel was the van driver who took us to the concert. They said we got a free upgrade on our room. There was a hole in the counter where the fridge was supposed to be - what an upgrade! I'll think twice before booking here again.

Disliked: Hole in the cabinet; carpet was dirty; no free wi-fi; no snack machines.
