The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very friendly. It was in heart of the Ohio State campus and downtown. Can’t wait to stay again when it’s a little warmer.

Best Hotel in Columbus
We chose the Blackwell Inn for it's close location to Schottenstein Center. It's price was awesome and when we showed up we were beyond happy. This place was beautiful and clean. I have paid a lot more for a lot less in a similar location. If you ever visit Columbus, Ohio, please chose this hotel!

Breakfast….
Wish breakfast was included! $18 for the breakfast buffet was ridiculous… Needless to say, we did not eat there.

Rooms were not ready at 4:30 pm
Had to go to an event without being able to get dressed in room. Had to change and get ready in a public bathroom. Felt like I was camping.
