Courtyard Columbus Worthington

Subpar representation of the Courtyard family in Columbus. Although you can see the property from the highway, it takes a while and several turns to get to the actual hotel. Major night time construction going on at the highway interchange that was right outside my window on the back side of the hotel. It was a long distance from the entrance to my room. Limited parking near the front entrance. Hallways were darker and unattractive and elevators were slow. The rooms themselves were fine, but lots better options nearby.

I was in town from Georgia for 2 nights. I’d read reviews and decided to book. A lot of reviews mention construction in the area. Yes, there is construction off the freeway exit, but I had no problem finding the hotel.
There are several nice restaurants in the area, and the close proximity to the freeway means easy access for getting on the road. The hotel lobby looks clean and nice, and the front desk staff was very friendly. I had my key in minutes, and had a nice room awaiting me.
It was clean, and the white linens looked great. The only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of amenities in the room. There was a tiny cube fridge inside the furniture that was barely big enough for the few provisions I’d brought with me. Also surprising was that there was no microwave in the room. There is a small café in the lobby, or as mentioned, there are several restaurants in the area. The hotel is also within a short distance of downtown Columbus, if you’re searching for other places to eat.
There is a small indoor pool downstairs, and I was pleasantly surprised at the fitness center. There were the expected treadmills, and bikes, and one elliptical, but there was also free weights and an incline bench. That’s the first time I’ve seen that in a hotel.
I was shocked to see the rates posted inside the room. I booked ahead of my stay using Expedia. As it turned out, I paid half what those posted rates were. I would not stay there for the posted rate, but for my (non-​refundable) pre-​book rates, it was definitely worth it
I had a very pleasant stay, and check out was quick and easy. I recommend this hotel.

This Marriott is unimpressive at first blush. It appears to have been recently remodeled by someone who thinks that the McDonald’s color scheme from the 70s would make a great starting point for a suburban hotel in need of a makeover. The lobby smells strongly of syrup, as though someone was perpetually cooking French Toast (although I wasn’t offered any, even at breakfast).
I spent two nights at the hotel, and each night my key cards failed, requiring that dreaded late-​night shuffle to the hotel lobby. On the first day there, there was no water. As in, no water for a shower, shave or to flush the toilet. True, the guy at the front desk mentioned this to me when I checked in at midnight after a 8 hour drive plus a time zone change and DST change, but by the next morning I’d forgotten that. This was a most unusual challenge in a hotel before a morning business meeting. You can guess where the sole source of water in a locked hotel room is.
On the other hand, the employees were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and well maintained, the WIFI worked, and the repetitive metal clanging sound emanating from east of the property that repeats every second in five minute sessions stops around 2am, so you should get a good night’s sleep after that time.

I believe General Manager Ms. Judy Lynam must be really dedicated. She is in Washington DC Conference. Today is a Sunday –she does not give like otherGeneral manager who gives excuses.
She goes out of the way to respond. I would definitely giver her the credit and you should inform District manager please. the way she writes .
.
She takes time to respond. not give reasons .lot of people they say –just for sake of phone (phoney) or .you really mean it. Some of the general manager and they tell just to please and do not follow
i stayed in Room 215 –checked in yesterday and checked out today.
People to recognize are:
1, Ms. Judy Lynam– great general manager-​goes out of the way
2. Jane Wetherholt– she operates in highly professional manner. I am really touched by her gestures– she should be really given credit for the work. She would be great asset.
3. Sherord– is too polite, he agrees on everything — he just wanted to make customer happy –very nice gentleman. he apologize or say something for everything-​very polite, courteous guy.
4. Marie — house keeping girl –she says this morning while I was trying to clean up –she says it is our job. She stopped and she wanted to help out.
5 Orville Clarke. — i think he is from Jamaica– operation manager who was working today –very nice gentleman .he was going here and there– wanted to multi-​tasking. Good gentleman and he came out to tell in Bistro.
6. Sarah — Bistro person who has been there only two weeks but super quick to take care of things. the girl last night (2÷21÷2015) –who talks high about entire Courtyard all –that’s amazing.
these kind of people and good work should not go unnoticed,
Super good — Please ensure all of them are recognized–
I used AAA Rate– since i am a member of AAA for long 1998 — so i got good rate i believe. Normally no one asks AAA CARD– this guy Sherrod wants to follow the rules too much i guess. just kidding
Thanks again,

The hotel is near a lot of eateries. It is accessible and free wifi is reliable. I was able to stream most Netflix shows from my free account. There is small bistro in the lobby that serves a few limited food options and Starbucks coffee.
The staff is courteous and willing to help when requested. Didn’t find mini bar in the room but I never use it so no regrets there.
Overall a good experience for the money that you spend here.
They could do better on eco friendly options. I didn’t find a card requesting to leave towels on the ground, so I am not sure if they recycle etc.

It’s a Courtyard. I stay in a lot of them. The hotel is always clean and the staff is friendly. The beds are really comfortable. The gym is tiny, as is with most Courtyards. The Courtyard area in the middle of the hotel is nice with a cool fire pit. Great place to stay if you are in the Worthington/​Crossroads area and are looking for a hotel.

This Courtyard is a solid choice if in need of a place to stay in the Columbus area. However, though a nice hotel, I was pretty unexcited about it overall.
When I arrived, I was nicely greeted by someone at the front desk. She asked me where I would like to stay, and I arbitrarily said first floor, thinking that it would be convenient. Well, this hotel is large! I had one of the farthest away rooms on the first floor, and it felt like I was walking forever to get from the front desk to my room.
The room was nice. It had been relatively recently updated, and the bed was very comfortable and luxurious. At night, I could hear my neighbor’s television, but I just made sure to have mine on to drown his out.
I decided to get coffee and a pastry at the little «Starbucks» in the hotel lobby on the second morning of my stay. I was in a rush to get to a meeting, so I thought this would be a time saver to grab breakfast as I was checking out. Umm, no, not a time saver at all.
First of all, check out took some time. I wanted to leave my key in my room, but did not get an answer when I called the operator or the front desk to confirm that was all right to do. When I got to the desk, no one was there, and I had to wait a couple minutes for someone to help me. Then, I went to go get my coffee and pastry. A man stood awkwardly behind the counter. He was wearing a black chef’s shirt, so I didn’t want to bother him, thinking that he didn’t work for the coffee shop. So I stood there until someone else came out to help me. Well, come to find out, he did work for the coffee shop! I guess he just makes drinks and will not accept drink or pastry orders…
Would I stay here again? Sure, why not, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Yea — another Courtyard — I travel too much!
Like most Courtyards — I’ve become accustomed to the same olé same olé — to the point these places almost are like a second home. However, I don’t need a second home — I need variety on the road and if you’ve stayed at one Courtyard you’ve stayed at all of them — very little difference. However, it still seems like customer service has dropped a bit at this chain!
No little gift — no free bottle of water — no free coffee or tea in the lobby — and it’s as if you are nickel’d and dime’d to death at these places. Even a small cup of coffee or tea in the lobby costs a couple of bucks. Though they’ve all gone through some remodeling — they still don’t seem too impressive — Starbucks isn’t the end all for anyone!
However, this hotel seems clean and though they don’t have a hot tub because of being too cheap to spend the 10G for a lift for the handicapped — they at least have a swimming pool and small fitness room. I asked to be in a room close to it and was put on the 3^rd floor — I might not need to workout I’m so close!
If anything makes me chance my review — I’ll add that later, but for now — it’s just a solid 3 stars!
UPDATE ALERT: this location opted IN for the fresh coffee and tea in the lobby — not sure if it’s there all day and night, but it was there when I needed it and it was FREE — too bad all Marriott properties didn’t opt in on this one, because I’m still thinking seriously of moving to a new property!

Fairly classy hotel. It’s located near great restaurants and some shopping centers. About 15 min drive from Easton Town Center which is a must-​go-​to shopping heaven.

Overall the hotel is clean, staff is friendly and professional. Although, the breakfast staff tends to lose track of breakfast orders. I’ve stayed there twice and both times I witnessed guest have to ask where their meals were.
I do like that I can grab a couple of beers at the front desk after my meetings and bring them back to my room. Although $ 12 for two beers is a little pricey if you ask me. The common area is okay for hanging out with co-​workers.
There are a ton of places to eat this area, all with in walking distance.
