Clean room
We loved everything. You are greeted when you walk in. They served a wonderful meal. Pulled pork, slider buns, salad with choices of dressing, baked potato with toppings, nachos with cheese, hot dogs, popcorn, and your choice of soft drinks. There is also a free bar drink offered. The room was nice and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast is also included and it was very good!
The only thing I would improve is the toilet tissue paper.
Comfy beds, solid breakfast and nice staff
All good.
The location was perfect. The staff was very friendly. The room Was much bigger than I was expected. Very clean. The pool was warm. Hot tub was perfect. Breakfast has such a large selection.
I loved everything about this property! We will be back!
A stay at the Drury Inn Polaris in Ohio has become a routine stop on our trip from Indiana to Buffalo to see our son. The facilities are always clean and present very well. The soda fountain and popcorn are also welcome findings upon our arrival. The rooms are always clean, the beds are always comfortable and the showers clean and well maintained. And let's not even talk about the breakfast. It's always fantastic! Despite the number of cars in the parking lot, we have no problems finding seating within the dining area as it is such an adequate space. Staff are friendly and courteous and present as responsive to any questions/concerns. We will continue to make the Drury Inn Polaris our regular stop and always look forward to our stays there.

Free breakfast & dinner was amazing! Also, free popcorn and soda! A+++
A group partying next door in an empty parking lot at night. It was awful, but it wasn't the hotels fault. The hotel was perfect!
Very friendly staff greeted me and were ready to assist if I had any questions/issues. Room was spacious and comfy. Bathroom was clean. Had a great night's sleep. The interstate is close by, but I didn't hear a thing. I loved that I could go to IKEA, the mall, and restaurants in very short order.

The parking was well lit, the facility was clean, the rooms were clean, the breakfast and dinner were great each day! Thr kids loved the pool!
Clean, spacious rooms, snacks and breakfast included.
Nothing - all was great!
Clean and the staff was very friendly
The free breakfast and dinner was nice. The rooms were very clean and the staff were all friendly!
Tres sympa, petit dej compris et propre
Rien
The staff was very helpful and friendly. Food and drinks were good. The Hot tub was awesome!
We stayed for 5 nights and the menu for dinner repeated 3 times.
Lovely modern hotel with indoor swimming pool. Friendly staff
Pity it didnt have a bar where u could have a drink in the evenings. Location of hotel had no predistrian walkways, so even though restuarants and shops were within 5-10 min walk, you had to take the car.
Excellent food very clean facility
Loved the "happy hour" snacks and beverages.
Only 1 elevator was working.
We loved all the included food!! It helps to not have to “go looking “ for a place to eat once you arrive. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options.
I know my shower was clean..but its floor was a little slippery when I first got in. As the water ran more, it was less so. Maybe a bit more texture on the floor would help.
Nice staff Good breakfast Clean room
One elevator was down. Long waits.
Everything. The Drury brand is the best.
Clean as expected. Good location, easy to get in and out, right by a lot of shopping, food, and highways.
Everything.
Needed more towels in my room but very clean. Wish the free drinks, dinner, and snacks lasted longer. Wish pool was open til midnight.

Breakfast and evening snacks, awesome pool, comfy room great location, clean and family friendly
The staff was excellent, the food was good and the location was great!
There was nothing we didn't love about the Drury Hotel.
The hotel & staff were great.
Didn’t like the fact that the maid entered my room at 8:30am. I was showering a heard a light tap on the door. Thought it was my friend that he forgot something. Then the door opened & I said hey I’m still in here. Management did address the issue very quickly.

You overbooked. We had no room when we got there after twelve hours on the road. We had to drive another four hours. We needed a room and you blew it.

Great evening food and great breakfast!
We enjoy staying at the Drury Chain for their food, if nothing else! This one did not disappoint. We arrived in time for the Evening meal (the pulled pork sliders were delicious). Our grandson enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the hot tub. Breakfast was equally good, the the attendant made us feel quite welcome and had opened the doors just before the posted time. Beds were comfortable and room/bathroom was clean. We paid a little more for this hotel than others on our trip, but I think the price was offset by the dinner and breakfast. Would probably stay here again if traveling through the area.
It was easy to get to & convenient.
It was clean spacious and next to a Panera.
The gym was slightly small for my liking.
My son and myself thought the food was very good. We had no problem having the ability of getting what we preferred to eat even though the area was full of guests.
The only problem for my son and myself was that for dinner the juice and milk was not available. Neither one of us drink pop, although I drink coffee, my son drinks milk or water only.
Close to shopping, restaurants etc
1 elevator was down on busy weekend
The was only 1 elevator working which made difficult at times. I was told the elevator has been down for over a month. 1 elevator for 8 floors unacceptable
Great location for us. Liked the option to get a suite with separate bedroom. Breakfast bar was good. Staff friendly. Having the room serviced daily was really nice.
Only 1 elevator was working which caused backups and long waits to get to your room or down to the main lobby.
Breakfast was good.
One elevator was down making getting to room a challenge at times. Stairwells were not clearly marked.
1 working elevator for an 8 floor hotel. Elevator has been down since Sept 2025 but that is not noted anywhere when making reservations.
Friendly staff
N/A
The staff was very friendly and helpful. One staff member offered to watch my dog for me while I got my breakfast. I appreciated her kindness, as I was traveling alone and didn't want to leave my dog in the room while I got my breakfast.
Great breakfast
The staff and cleanliness is always amazing. This was our go to hotel when we were in the area for many years.
1. The last few times we stayed there has always been a capacity crowd. With one elevator broken every time we have been there, and that many people getting on and off, it is a deterrent for those with mobility issues like my sister in law. We told her that this was a nice place to stay but since she can barely walk, and waited over 15 minutes or so for an elevator that wasn't so crowded so that she could get her walker in made her tell me that she won't come back. Also, would it be possible to rotate sausage for bacon occasionally? The same breakfast every day is another issue for many people, as the hotel around the corner offers bacon every day or every other day. Many people do not eat sausage.
Everything there was not one thing I could pick Everything was great
NA
The friendliness and customer service. The clean rooms. The complimentary breakfast and the linens.
No ‘real’ cream-just powdered but I am being overly picky. No continuous running fan.
The food was very good!
Nothing that I can think of!
The front desk staff and kitchen staff were very friendly. . A wonderful breakfast with just about everything. . Biscuits and gravy my fave. We weren't around for dinner. Unfortunately.
One elevator wasn't working. Making getting to a challenge. The shower door kept opening. Causing water to escape
Room is big and comfortable beds. Safety/security is awful at this hotel! Allow long stay customers to control areas (pool, spa, outdoor area ,ect to play loud music and do what they want at anytime and was reported to staff… several vehicles where broken into in the middle of the night. Broken windows. No security on grounds of hotel. Only 1 (one) elevator for 7 floor hotel in operation other broke down.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Check in was quick and easy
NA
Nice & clean
How noisy it was
they offer a variety of food for breakfast and for a dinner option and drinks at no charge
over crowding of the pool. There was a couple travel ball teams there. Not the fault of the hotel but I think we should have been told esp when we said we were there for quiet. We could of chosen someplace else for the weekend. We didn't even get to use then pool/hot tub due to all the kids
Room was spacious. Staff was very friendly. Nice, safe feeling location. Breakfast had lots of options. Only did the free evening snacks once, but people were making a meal of it.
How clean it was plus dinner and breakfast included. Raining Sunday night, so didn't have to go out in the rain for dinner.
Wish they would bring back an hour for adult swim.. I like kids, but some in the pool and hot tub needed supervision.
This was probably the nicest most friendliest hotel I’ve ever stayed at, and I’ve been to a lot, the evening meal was a pleasant surprise and much needed. The food was delicious and hot. The 3 free cocktails were a great surprise too. The room was immaculate, very clean and had everything I needed. Soap shampoo and conditioner. Next mornings breakfast was excellent and the time frame was great for all us getting up at different times. The price was great for all you get!! I would 100% recommend this hotel and when we are back in the area I will stay here again. Couldn’t be more satisfied!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The beds are always comfortable. The room was clean and well maintained.
The elevator being broken was an issue.
Clean and very nice.
Only one elevator was working.
Nice location. Easy to get to. Plenty of food around.
Nothing honestly.
Everything was great
The staff was extremely friendly
Very clean Great free breakfast Convenient location Comfortable bed and pillows Quiet Safe Friendly helpful staff
Location close to many things.
The second elevator not working, so there were long waits at times. It is a lovely hotel with breakfast and Kickback, but I thought it was very expensive.
When reservation was made it ask if you want to pay at location and when we arrived, I was told that I was not able to pay cash! So the room had to go onto my daughter’s card just to reserve our room for the second time. Then the next day I was able to pay my cash for the same room after my daughter was already charged for the room now you have received my cash and my daughter‘s money from her card and there has been no reimbursement on her card.
Very clean and updated

Nice and friendly
Elevator broke same both times I’ve been there
All the hotel staff are very friendly, the breakfast was delicious, and the location is excellent. The bathroom is very clean. I will definitely return to this wonderful hotel on my next visit to Columbus.
I have no complaints. It was a wonderful stay.
Staff was great! Lady thstvruns breakfast was awesome
Elevator was out of order. No fault of the staff.
We took our son and a couple of his friends to Columbus to celebrate his 12th birthday on Friday. We checked into the Drury and booked two hotel rooms connecting. The Drury used to be my favorite hotel, but I will never stay at another one ever again. After we got back from the trampoline park, the boys went swimming. They were in the hot tub and we went and checked on the Hockey score. My husband came back two minutes later and there were teenage kids trying to drown our children. Then these grown adults got in my husband‘s face and were cursing and screaming at him and asking him if he wanted to take the fight outside. My husband just wanted to take the boys and leave, but they were cursing and smelling of pot. Apparently the manager and the police were called and we were asked to leave at 10 o’clock at night. The manager would not even listen to us. It was horrific. But the people causing the scene and cursing and screaming, and trying to drown our 11 and 12-year-olds were allowed to stay. The discrimination was jaw dropping.
Only 1 elevator working
Great
The hotel is in a good location, very clean, and staff were great. Room was very comfortable with good lighting. Breakfast and evening meals had huge selection
Everyone employed at Drury was polite and helpful. The evening buffet was taste and satisfying, and a pleasant surprise. We would definitely stay there again, maybe for our anniversary next year too!
Nothing. We were unable to stay at this location due to a power outage. Our stay had to be canceled.
We were unable to stay due to a power outage. We had not been contacted about this issue but had been informed by another guest that we would be unable to stay. They were informed at the desk that we were required to find our own alternative. After we booked a new hotel, we were later informed that a room at a different Drury location in Columbus was available. Notification of the issue was severely lacking.
Close to everything
Traffic
Great location by tons of restaurants and shopping. Rate includes their free nightly dinner called KickBack with 3 free adult beverages if you choose, free soda, etc from 5:30-7 pm daily in addition to an expanded hot breakfast until 9:30 M-F and 10:30 Sat & Sun. Jordan, Amber, Artie, and the entire team did a fantastic job making everyone at this very busy hotel feel special. I highly recommend Drury for your next trips. Very nice meeting rooms available. They permit outside food catered or delivered for your events.
Clean, big, comfortable room, fast wifi, overall Excellent service and free breakfast plus free drinks and evening quick bites! Great value!
