WoodSpring Suites Columbus Southeast

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern and no-frills, WoodSpring Suites Columbus Southeast is a smart choice for concert-goers who want a clean, reliable place to crash after the show. Located in Groveport, just under 10 miles from downtown Columbus, this budget-friendly hotel puts you within reach of major venues without the city-center price tag. With free WiFi and free parking, it's a practical base for music fans on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate the hotel’s location—it’s just a short drive (around 20 minutes) to downtown Columbus, where many of the area’s top concert halls and arenas are found. If you're flying in for a gig, Rickenbacker International Airport is only 6.8 miles away. The area is quiet, making it great for a peaceful night’s sleep after a loud show. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, the staff is known for being flexible when possible, especially for late arrivals.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a budget stay
• Solo travelers flying in for a concert or festival
• Couples making a low-key weekend of it
• Fans needing a quiet spot to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious travelers who care more about the music than the mini-bar

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s close to several fast-casual spots and diners that stay open late. Each room has a kitchenette, so you can stock up on snacks or prep a post-show bite. Room service is available, and nearby eateries are easily accessible by car. Breakfast isn’t offered, but nearby cafés and drive-thrus open early for a morning refuel.

Nightlife Options

Being just outside of downtown means you’ll need to drive or rideshare to the heart of Columbus for live music bars and after-parties. However, that also means you can escape the noise and crowds when it’s time to wind down. If you’re looking for craft cocktails or city nightlife, downtown Columbus is only about 20 minutes away.

What People Say

Guests praise the cleanliness and value for money, with many noting it's a great base for short stays or weekend trips. The quiet location is a big plus after a night of music, and people love the free parking and easy access to highways. While it’s not a luxury hotel, travelers say it’s a solid, comfortable choice for the price.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit basic—think more “functional” than “fancy.” There’s no breakfast or on-site dining, and you’ll need a car or rideshare to get around. Some guests mention that amenities are limited, but that’s expected at this price point.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to crash after a concert without the downtown chaos, WoodSpring Suites Columbus Southeast hits the right note.
