The Hyatt Regency Columbus was a solid downtown hotel. The rooms were clean and there was a small work area. Check in was easy enough. They have valet for 45 bucks. This is a hotel geared for the nearby convention center. Staff were pleasant. The room could have benefited from more outlets. read more

Here for the School for Congregational Development. Was offered a free upgrade at check in, if I was willing to go to a higher floor so floor 18 with a city view it is. Room is spacious and clean. Staff has been super friendly and helpful. Event meeting spaces are well maintained. Appreciate the connection to the South Café & Marketplace at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, too. read more

I had a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Regency. The rooms were spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. One of my favorite features was the large bar on the second level, which provided a great atmosphere to unwind, enjoy a drink, and socialize. The hotel also does an excellent job with convenience. Having a microwave located near the elevator on every floor was a thoughtful touch that made reheating food quick and easy without needing to leave the floor. Between the comfortable accommodations, excellent amenities, and convenient layout, the Hyatt Regency provided a fantastic guest experience. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. read more

We are here for a convention. Overall, things are good. Check in was easy and the room was clean and comfortable. It is connected to the convention center which is very nice. The only negative is parking. The parking is a bit of a walk from the hotel. They offer valet parking for about twice the cost of the normal parking costs. We did the valet for the convenience but that added almost 200 dollars for our 4 day stay. They are full service hotel so bring some cash for tips. read more

I recently returned from a conference that was hosted in Columbus, Ohio, and with most of the conference being in the Convention Center downtown, it only made sense for the Hyatt Regency Columbus being one of the two conference hotels. It was great having the hotel and the convention center being connected without having to go outside. I found the hotel in good condition with great hotel rooms, great food options, and great service. The cost was also quite reasonable both at the conference rate and general Hyatt member rate. I also used status to get some nice perks at the hotel and was pleased overall with my experience. Prior to arriving to the hotel, I used a Suite Upgrade Award to receive an upgrade from a King Room to a 1-Bedroom Suite (King). When I arrived at the resort, I inquired about a further upgrade using my Globalist status, and after confirming that there was a VIP Suite available, they were able to provide me a further upgrade even though they acknowledged that this was based on availability and that Globalists typically only receive upgrades to standard suites. I really appreciate the flexibility the hotel provided at that time! I ate breakfast each day at the Market Stand restaurant where they had a buffet during the weekend and items could be ordered from the menu on other days (including the weekend). I also ordered drinks and dinner one night at the Big Bar on 2, which also hosted several receptions and socials during the time I was at the hotel. I also received two cards each good for a free appetizer and free non-alcoholic drink, which I used on the last day of my stay. Again, great service and tasty food and drinks. The housekeeping service was good even though I sometimes needed to inquire at the front desk about daily bottles of water. The room was in good condition with the exception of ants that were appearing from no where (and that I didn't drag in with me). They were only noticed on the last day and were in the corner of the bathroom and kitchenette. Otherwise, the suite was large and very spacious! They also brought me a birthday pie/cake since they knew I was celebrating. Otherwise, everything was top notch. If you are staying at a Hyatt Regency and have Globalist status for staying 60 nights at a Hyatt over the year, you can get bonus point accrual, early check-in, late check-out, upgrades at check-in based on available (to suites), free breakfast in the hotel restaurant (in this case the buffet at the Springhouse Cafe), elite check-in, and free parking (if booked on points) among other benefits. There are also occasional challenges where if you stay 20 nights in 90 days, you can get Globalist benefits for the next year. If I am traveling back to Downtown Columbus in the future, I'll certainly plan on staying here again. I certainly recommend it! read more

First time to Columbus and we truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location in the Arena district and that it is attached to the convention center makes it perfect for events (we were just on vacation). Parking is either valet, or you can park in the secure parking structure across the street and use the skywalk to access the hotel, although it is quite a walk! We were able to walk around easily, and getting to the Short North Arts district, German Village, etc... were a breeze. The staff were top notch in their friendly service and helpfulness throughout our stay. Nice room they upgraded us to as it was our anniversary. THANK YOU! The room itself was large, clean and very comfortable bed. We did not make use of the restaurants, but they appear to be good. It was an enjoyable stay! read more

Absolutely fantastic. Clean, great staff, comfortable rooms. The staff were particularly impressive, they were able to resolve a booking issue for me in seconds. Genuinely a fantastic place to stay. read more

I have stayed at this hotel before and it is nice, however do not book if you may have to cancel it for any reason. For some reason this hotel would not allow me to cancel it, online, on the app, or on the online chat, I had to call and wait on the phone for 23mn. With all the hotel options I highly suggest using another hotel that allows cancellations online or in their app. read more

First of all, what hotel doesn't have a pool, must be an Ohio thing! Very disappointed about that. Next it was freezing in my room, I turned the air off and it still continued to blast out cold air! I was freezing, the front desk saif they would bring up an electric heater, it was a tiny 6"x 6" heater and an extra blanket. So, I put the heater on the nightstand, I couldn't even feel the heat. I can't sleep when I'm cold! I final fell asleep 2 hours later, if they have another conference here, I will find a different hotel. Rooms were nice and big, but when you want to keep up with your training and can't, due to no pool, very disappointing. Had to wear a jacket, every day, because it was so cold in the building. It was horrible! Plus you have to pay for parking ($25) per day, at a hotel you're staying at, what kind of crazy is that, $48 per day for valet! Very disappointing and exhausting trip! read more

This is an incredibly convenient hotel with direct, indoor access to the convention center and also very close to Nationwide Arena where the Blue Jackets play hockey. Check-in was fast, the gentleman at the counter gracious and friendly. My room was nice, small but still adequate. The bedroom had a king bed flanked by nightstands. A mini fridge (very mini) was in a cabinet beneath a safe and coffee pot. The wall also had a desk with drawers. There were lots of plugs for charging devices. There was only one chair in the room, which made bringing meals there somewhat uncomfortable but workable. The bathroom was especially small, with minimal counter space, though a shelf below gave a space to stash toiletries. The shower was easy to operate with great water pressure. Pump units on the wall dispensed shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The toilet functioned well; the brown bamboo fiber toilet paper was unusual but not bad. The room was on the 10th floor and fairly quiet but for infrequent sirens and passing trains in the tunnel down below. The hall noise usually didn't carry inside. The room and the hotel itself were very well maintained, perhaps remodeled recently. As for the general facilities, there were four elevators and they worked fast. It never took long to get around. The convention facilities were not hard to find thanks to abundant signs; the direct access was from the second floor. I really liked that a food court was close by indoors, and North Market was just outside and a few blocks away. I would definitely stay here again. read more

This hotel has everything you need. A great lobby with plenty of seating, if you are needing a hang out space. A fun bar area playing whatever sport you would like to watch (even project it on the wall!). And a large restaurant to eat at. We were there for a volleyball tournament, but there was also a dance competition and conference at the same time, so you may have to wait for the elevator first thing in the morning. But customer service was great, and you can't beat being attached to the Columbus Convention center. Even self parking you would not have to walk outside if the weather was cold. read more

I got booked to stay here for a conference. This hotel has been here for quite some time. Although they have updated the rooms, there are still some areas that look tired. That being said, I know the Hyatt does a ton of business, so keeping everything looking as good as it does, is no small task. This place is better that some, but a bit behind the curve to some as well. read more

Absolutely loved our stay here! The only negative was the expensive parking options. We only stayed one night but loved the room. Very big and spacious. Especially the showers. Amazing! Great views of downtown as well. Will definitely be back! read more

A downtown hotel that's attached to the Convention Center by Skywalks. Expect a lot of walking and lots of people staying for convention events. This is probably not the hotel you want for a quiet, easy-parking, minimal-walking experience, but it's a great spot if you're here for the convention or enjoy the bustle of people. PROS: -Shower heat was deliciously warm. Even being on the top floor in a packed-full hotel, there was no issue with water temperature. I love a hot shower. -Room was surprisingly spacious and clean. It didn't feel cramped for being downtown. -Literally attached to the convention center via Skywalks. However, the Skywalks are not entirely climate controlled, and in winter, you definitely will want long sleeves or a coat to walk through the skywalks. It's also a bit of a labarinth, and you should expect to feel semi-lost while navigating it. It reminds me a lot of Chicago convention center skywalks. -With as packed as the hotel was and with as many rooms as it has, the four-elevator system managed to keep traffic moving. CONS: -Shower pressure was a little light. In the scheme of things, that's pretty minor. -This is a convention hotel. Your experience with noise will really depend on what conventions are going on. You can definitely hear people in the rooms next door (and in the hallways) from your own room, but whether that will be an issue will depend on who is all staying at the hotel. We didn't have much problem with it, but with a different crowd, I could definitely see it being an issue. -The hotel's parking garage is really, really far away from the hotel. If you have a lot of luggage, pull up to the front, check-in, and unload and THEN park your car. It's easily a 10-minute walk through some narrow-ish corridors and escalators. (My Fitbit put it at 980 steps one-way.) If you're really bogged down with luggage that's hard to carry, you're going to hate yourself by the end. read more

My recent stay at the Hyatt Regency Columbus was very enjoyable. I had a king room that was spacious and comfortable. The hotel staff was professional and accommodating when posed with any questions. The hotel is downtown and in walking distance to dining and entertainment. The hotels bars and restaurants are good when you don't feel like leaving your room. read more

Stayed here for two nights for Ohayocon. The rooms were clean, although the shower curtain could've used a wash so don't think they get washed very often. No bed bugs thankfully (I check in every hotel). Did not try the big flat screen tv, but it was there. The room had a mini fridge, safe, and coffee pot tucked into the side of the room with free coffee and tea plus supplies. Sink was in the bathroom itself, which I personally prefer rather than the kind with the sink outside the door. The beds have motion sensor lights along the bottom with no way to turn them off so I used some masking tape to cover the sensor. It's not restful to get woken up by a light shining in your face because someone stood up to go to the bathroom. I really liked that the showers had big bottle dispensers on the wall for body wash/shampoo/conditioner. Way less wasteful than tiny bottles thrown out after every guest and no running out. The toilet paper was also bamboo! If you use the Chestnut st garage to park in then it's $22 per day to park there so expensive, but unlimited in/out privileges. The hotel is attached to the convention center so walking indoors. Be warned it is a long cold walk through skywalks and walkways from the garage to the hotel though. The con center has a food court and tons of great food places are just outside an short walk away. Elevators are fast and there are stairs plus a fitness center if inclined to use. read more

Hyatt Regency Columbus - Hotel invoice. Folded and marked to remove personal information. Includes parking cost. - Hotels Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Stayed here for a night two weekends ago. We had a beautiful view of the city from the top floor. The room was clean and I did not notice any issues. The staff was friendly although I did not have too much interaction with them. There were plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The walk to the parking garage is slightly longer than they make it seem but it was still convenient. There is a bar and restaurant on site which we had a couple drinks at, no food. read more

My husband and I loved our stay here for my birthday. The hotel had a clean and inviting atmosphere. Our room was the perfect size with nice amenities. In addition to the celebratory champagne and fruit, the hotel staff included a card with their signatures. It was so thoughtful! The bartenders were also friendly and made sure we had a great time. The hotel is near several bars and restaurants. We enjoyed our short walk to Mikey's after everything else had closed. Lastly, after some confusion with our bill, the manager heard my concerns, provided a thorough explanation, and resolved the issue. Very grateful for the hospitality! read more

Never had a hotel tell me it's $15/hour to have late check out. Guess they hate positive guest experiences. The self parking garage is also not the attached garage. You have to walk over a skywalk from another block. Definitely not staying here again. read more

They were friendly. Everything was clean. I enjoyed the city view. It was super convenient being near the convention center. Nothing to complain about. The valet is a bit expensive, but everything was easy and not stressful at all. read more

The hotel was great, went there for a tire convention and it all went well, small bad parts though was when we got to our room there was a cart in front and someone just left it there so we had to wait like 20 minutes but the manager did give us a voucher for some snacks but sadly when we went to use it they were out of everything, besides that the whole hotel was very nice, read more

We stayed at the hotel from Wednesday May 22 to Sunday May 26, 2024. When making the reservations we asked for an early check in and was told no problem, we also asked not to be placed by the elevator. We reserved a Deluxe King room at $310.40 a night. When we arrived we were told that it would be around 12:30 before we were able to get our room. We waited around until 12:30 but our room wasn't ready, in fact we didn't get our room until 3:30 and the room was right next to the elevator. The room was nice and quiet and the view was pretty. Be prepared to pay $22 a night to park your car, or $40 for valet parking. If you choose to park your car yourself, you will need to walk a couple of blocks back to the hotel from the parking lot which could be kind of scary at night. Also, the food at the hotel is HORRIBLE, so do not waste your money. There are plenty of great places to eat within 5 miles of the hotel. Next visit to Columbus we will NOT be staying at the Hyatt Regency Columbus read more

Having been to Columbus a multitude of times you would think that I would have more reviews for hotels. But when you find a good hotel and have consistent quality service you rarely stray. However, my most recent visit I found that my old reliable was fully booked and not wanting to look much further than where I am use to staying I decided to give the Hyatt a chance. Believe me I was a bit leery about trying this place, but after this stay I know I have another great hotel at my disposal if I cannot find shelter elsewhere. One of the great thing about Hyatt is its location. If you are in need of staying close to the convention center, Arena District, Downtown or Short North, this will certainly do. Everything is within walking distance. Parking is available on site via valet, but if you want to save a few extra bucks there are several parking garages nearby that are much cheaper to use. Another great thing is that this is directly connected to the convention center. You have access to the food court and convenience store right off the lobby. This is a great asset in case you may have forgotten an essential item at home. Check in/out is a breeze and the staff that work the front desk/lobby area are all very helpful and polite. No matter the situation they seem to have the solution for you. The room itself was comfortable. The front desk staff was worried that we wouldn't like our view and asked if we wanted to move to a room with a better view. Honestly, we weren't worried about our view, we were here to visit the city, not stare at the skyline. Your basic amenities were available. The only downside here, and this in minor, is the lighting in the bathroom. If you are taking a shower and have the shower curtain closed, it is rather dark. I know, you really shouldn't need much light in the shower to do your thing, but I'd prefer to see exactly what I am doing. Things to note: gym and pool, restaurant on property with room service available, direct connection to convention center with a rear entrance, rewards program available. read more

Hyatt Regency fashion. Upscale, first class and great service. The rooms are clean and comfortable.

I travel for work and have stayed at many hotels all across the country. I'm also Globalist with Hyatt. I stayed at this one over the weekend while visiting some friends. The Good: 1. Employees were good about wearing masks 2. The breakfast buffet was quite decent. Bacon was nice and crispy. 3. Employees were all friendly 4. Room was clean The Bad: 1. Walls are paper thin. We could clearly hear the room next door having a normal conversation at 1 am. Makes sleeping very hard. 2. Rooms are dated and need an upgrade. Layout is also weird - our bed did not face the TV. 3. Parking sucks. It's a full block away and no covered connection exists. It's also $20 a day unless you are globalist staying on points 4. Breakfast buffet is overpriced at $18. Free for globalist but would suck otherwise. 5. This is right next to the convention center so expect a lot of pre-teens and teenage girls there for cheer and dance competitions. The room next door to us was several teenagers and was quite loud. All in all, I would not stay here again. read more

Not sure why this place has bad reviews . I Honestly enjoyed my stay here . The front desk people are all so nice and they are very accommodating as well . The rooms: very spacious and clean . Not sure I needed that much space haha ... but definitely enjoyed it . I put my privacy on usually everyday just because I don't like people going into my room when I'm not there . So when I came back to my hotel room one day, they put a bag full of toiletries and towels outside my room which I thought was really awesome ! This is the first time a hotel has done that for me without me asking ! So props to them . The only downside of the room is 1. My coffee machine did not work 2. My iron was not working either :( Bar: there's a huge bar area on the second floor . I ordered a burger and man was it good ! I ordered the panna cotta... Do NOT order it ... it was horrible unfortunately . But besides that my bartenders were awesome ... and they go out of their way to talk to you,l and care about your service . Props to the service there !! Breakfast: I think this is where I took off a star . I called room service twice ... and nobody answered ! I was in a rush so I really did not have time to keep playing mouse and cat all day . BUT I did however go to the market cafe for breakfast instead and got great service :) food was good too . Good portions ! I got the all American breakfast ... excellent !! The gym/pool: I didn't use the pool but it looked decent . They also make sure there is a towel everywhere lol The gym was pretty good for a hotel gym . They have cold towels too ! Good cable machine and weights and lots of cardio equipment . Overall this is a great hotel and if your looking for luxury ... I mean I guess you could stay at the Hilton for much more money a day . I think many people reviewing this forget to take the good stuff that comes with this hotel ... it definitely deserves more than 3 stars read more

Dated, close to convention center-hockey-resturants. Hotel resturant was not that great; we went across to the Hilton for better food and a rooftop bar with great view. Hyatt opened their bar late after lunch. Room was average. read more

We had our convention's Masquerade ball here in the ball room. The room was set up nicely so that out near the elevators and escalators was the ante room so that people could chat and inside was where the festivities were taking place. The DJ was playing the music loud and the tunes were fun. There was dancing and some food, but sadly the food wasn't enough and it ran out, but we had plates. The water was a nice touch. All in all, the hotel did a nice job hosting us. I really did like that the one bar decorated for us. read more

Great central location. Within half mile of most of Columbus' downtown attractions including Nationwide Arena, North Market and Short North district. I had no safety concerns walking around during the evening. I booked through Hotwire for a rate of about $90 per night. I was mostly satisfied with my stay.The room was well maintained and furnishings were up to date. The lady at the desk was nice enough to ask us if we had a floor preference. She put us on the 17th floor which had a nice view of the downtown skyline. Overall, not a bad option if you want to explore downtown Columbus and the Short North district. Despite having a dated appearance on the outside and in the lobby, the rooms are actually pretty nice. I had no issues with noise. If anything it was almost too quiet! Parking is a bit of a nuisance. If you choose to valet your car, it's $25 for unlimited in and out access. If you want to park yourself, there are multiple lots available within 5-10 minutes walk that cost up to $20 per day. Valet may be the easier choice. Another downer is that you have to pay for internet access. read more

This doesn't feel like a Hyatt. I would probably only stay here again if I was attending a conference at the convention center which is attached to the building. My first concern was that when I arrived and tried to retrieve my room key through the World of Hyatt line (the elite member check-in area), I had to wait a pretty long time despite the fact that there were front desk staff chatting with one another but not helping guests. If they were tied up with something work-relayed, fine, but an acknowledgement or apology for the long wait goes a long way. The next issue arose when I arrived to my room and it smelled like mold. I couldn't determine if it was moldy carpet or an old air conditioner filter but it still was unbearable. I was quickly moved to another room but still...yikes. Also, the elevators were extremely slow. Painfully slow. Really concerning for a hotel with 18 floors. On the positive side, housekeeping did a great job as did room service. Breakfast at the Market Place wasn't great but Perks Coffee (serving Starbucks) did the trick. The bed was pretty comfortable but the linens felt a bit scratchy and dry. Lastly, Valet was efficient but always a little crowded and tight; they weren't the friendliest folks either. Basically, this wouldn't be my first choice in the future. Hopefully they'll invest in a few upgrades and renovations. read more

Very nice hotel, clean with a great view from the 6th floor, conveniently located in the convention center where the volleyball tournament took place. Parking was the problem, from what I understand there was parking for the hotel but it was quite a walk from parking to the hotel and at check in we weren't informed of the hotel parking. We ended up parking below the convention center and for our 1 night, 2 day stay it cost us 50 dollars to get out of the parking garage. read more

I've stayed at this hotel several times while attending an annual conference at the Convention Center. Always very nice and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. The bar on the second floor is convenient and great for winding down at the end of the day. I like having a room that faces the city so I can just sit and watch the outside activity. (I'm from a rural area :) ). This year though, I wasn't too impressed with the bathroom in my room. I don't know if they are renovating or not, but it seems I was in an older room. I don't like bathrooms that don't have countertops for all my gurrrllll stuff. It's a must! (Am I right?!) It had some skinny glass shelves on the wall and a wire tiered basket unit for essentials.....but doesn't cut it for me. That's the only beef I have for this hotel, and hopefully it is just a temporary one. read more

Hyatt Regency Columbus - Not liking hotel bathrooms without countertops. Need room to lay out all my gurrrrlll stuff. - Hotels Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We visited Columbus this weekend to catch the first round of the NCAA men's games at Nationwide Arena. The Hyatt is very close to the arena which made things extremely easy for us. We valet parked for the night and were easily able to walk wherever we wanted to go. The hotel was clean, team members were very friendly and helpful and our room was super comfortable. Also very quiet which was surprising given that there was 100% occupancy with basketball fans everywhere. We would definitely stay at the Hyatt if we have reason to visit Columbus again. read more

I had a very good experience staying here for a wedding earlier this year. The hotel seemed to be moderately full despite Covid, with some sort of youth sports program going on in addition to the large number of wedding guests. The front desk folks were very helpful, and I'm pretty sure gave me a nicer room than I had reserved. The room was very comfortable -- oddly shaped because it was on a corner or a curve or something, so it was narrow and long with a lot of windows, but the views were nice and the bed was comfy. There was a surprisingly great gym, which you could access by reserving time with he front desk and getting the key. Breakfast options were pretty weak inside the hotel, likely due to Covid, but the location is great, walking distance to a lot of fun areas including restaurants and coffee. It did seem like they don't have enough elevators, since the wait for one could be long and they were often crowded already. I would definitely stay again, however. read more

This was a great place to host ohayocon and everyone was really nice at the front desk area. They ended up holding my luggage on the last day and were super nice about it.

NICE hotel ! First impression: Very nice lobby, quit check in, green apples and water readily available. The room: I loved all the little amenities the most, for example Starbucks coffee, Tazo tea, refrigerator, and toiletries(shampoo + conditioner + lotion). I had a great view from the 15th floor and would recommend sipping a cup of coffee and enjoying the view ! The bed was extremely comfortable and I loved that the temperature unit in the room was quite. Lastly, this hotel has a pool, gym, jacuzzi, and shuttle van if anyone is interested in that. Overall, I really have enjoyed my stay at this particular Hyatt, checking in was a breeze, room is clean, has great amenities such as Starbucks coffee, Tazo tea, refrigerator, and a comfy bed. Definitely recommend this hotel ! :) read more

Meh is the word that sums up how I felt about this place. Stayed here 1 night after driving up from Cincinnati for an event at the arena. I took issue before we even got inside because parking here SUCKS. It seems there's no dedicated garage for the Hyatt and if you aren't from here, it can get really confusing really fast. We pulled up to a garage but then the cop who was directing traffic told us the hotel parking was in another place. Not true. We parked in the garage and it was a bit of a walk to get to the hotel elevators. Better signage is needed. We stayed on the 19th floor with a decent view but I don't think it was the arena side. Our room was ok. Bed seemed a little small for a king. Bathroom walls could use an update, everything seemed real dated. The water pressure was poor. There are a lot of food options inside the building, and there's even a food court that seems to be open when there's a convention in the building. I liked that there was a Starbucks just outside of the hotel inside of the convention center. Unfortunately, there was a cheer competition in and all the girls wanted a Frappuccino so I had to skip my morning coffee. It just didn't feel like a Hyatt. I think the name carries a certain expectation and this one fell real REAL flat. You're basically paying for convenience. read more
