Top Crane Island Hotel Reviews

Hilton Columbus at Easton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, excellent checkin and friendly staff…always my first choice in Easton"

Baymont by Wyndham Lancaster

8/10 Good

"The bed was extremely comfortable and there were two types of pillows to choose from. The only cleaning issue I noticed was the shower head needed a good scrubbing. The water pressure was great. The bathroom is small - you had to squeeze in to close the door. The sink was annoying because the faucet is not long enough to wash hands without hitting the back wall. Breakfast had a pretty good selection, but room is tight. The clerk who checked us in was very matter-of-fact and not too friendly. The property looked great and the inside looked much newer than what it is. We would definitely stay again."

DogHouse Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here three times and always enjoy it. A "welcome beer" on check in, shower beers in the bathroom, loaded fridge in room, great breakfast and coffee included in your stay. Dog friendly rooms and facilities and a dog park on property too. Great beers and good times."

Tru By Hilton Columbus East Broad

10/10 Excellent

"Our kids loved that there was a hang out area off the lobby with all the games and pool table. The pool was wonderful! Room was clean and updated. Staff was always great."

Spark by Hilton Columbus East Pickerington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, was only 16 mins from festival venue and had so many places to eat around us so super convenient"

Days Inn by Wyndham Columbus East Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and located close to where we needed to be. I arrived after a music festival, and even with a lobby full of muddy festival goers, the staff was nice and helpful."
