Staybridge Suites Columbus-Airport

I feel lucky I have an opportunity to travel for work. When I do travel for work I want to make sure I stay at places with free WiFi and that offer a few other nice perks. Staybridge has it all.
The location of the property is close to the airport and 670. Around the property are other hotel chains, a McDonalds, Subway, and a few other quick places to grab a bit but nothing very nice. Of course that is fine because just a few exits on 670 and you are in a great part of town with plenty of places to eat.
The Staybridge is consistent which is why I like to stay. The rooms are a great size, the beds comfortable, and the kitchenette is a nice place to make a quick and healthy meal.
Tuesday-​Thursdays there is an evening managers reception. Beer and wine is either free or a small charge depending on the state. In this case .75 cents for wine and .50 for beer. On this tip burgers and sloppy joes were served. Each night a salad of sorts was also available.
Breakfast always offers a hot item and the standard pastries. Nothing fancy but it is more than adequate.
The staff at this location was very friendly. They worked quickly to get me checked in, called to make sure the room was acceptable, and the folks working the breakfast shift very nice.
For a comfortable room, nice relaxing stay, check out this property.

Pros: Staff is dedicated and courteous; Food is surprisingly adequate most times.
Cons: Building is tremendously thinly built you can literally hear guests in the next room snoring; You have lots of aircraft noise and the windows and walls are not up to the task of mitigating; if you have a courtyard side room, expect lots of noise from the basketball court and drinking parties.
Ultimately if you drop in for the night you may get lucky and have a wonderful stay. However if you have an extended stay you will likely suffer many nights of little sleep due to the noise unless you are lucky enough to have narcolepsy. The workout gym is rather weak, tired old treadmills and cheap cable pull type resistance machine.
You get what you pay for, so in many ways it’s a square deal. If you can stay up til 1 am and don’t mind jet noise at 6 am then it’s ok. Even with the sounds of snoring from the next room. Two words: remember NyQuil.

What a wonderful place to crash after a long day of driving. Our suite was comfortable, modern and spacious. The pool was simple but clean and fun. Breakfast was above average for a complementary meal, and Seta kept it clean and stocked. We could’ve chosen a cheaper hotel but this was worth the price.

I’d say I travel for work about 50% of the year and every night is usually in a different hotel. This particular hotel was absolutely one of my favorites. The gentleman at the front desk was so friendly and helpful, even told me I would never want to stay at another chain, and he was so right. I will go out of my way to find staybridge hotels because of the customer service, workout room, meals and cleanliness of this one. I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone in the area.

Very nice extended stay hotel. The people working here were quite friendly and helpful. Full size fridge, stovetop, sink, all the usual kitchen stuff in the room. The bed was quite comfortable. Nice to have the pantry option close-​by downstairs. Not many soda options though. Not even a cola.
Warning: The complimentary fajita bar was absolutely one of THE grossest eating experiences I have ever had! There was a snowstorm outside so food options were limited. Ice cold frozen fajita meat was being dumped into some type of warmer half way through the service so I had to dig around the edges to get anything that was even thawed out. The tortillas were so over microwaved and hard you could spin them on their edge like a coin. I made the plate and went to my room, only to take a couple bites, throw it away, and order a really expensive pizza delivery.

Cleanliness: Very, no complaints whatsoever. They do the light touch for guests that stay under 7 days, but their light touch exceeds most full cleans elsewhere, so that’s good.
Room: Super nice & roomy, 2 tvs, one in bedroom area, one in living room. Small kitchenette with 2 burners, microwave, full sink, and a dishwasher. Full fridge as well. Spacious closet in bathroom and full dresser in bedroom. Nice bathroom with excellent water pressure, and THAT gets a star all it’s own.
The bed was very comfortable, and 3 regular pillows and a throw pillow per bed, which is just great.
Furniture was average. Desk was a desk, :D.
Wi-​Fi, they have what seems to be 2 access points per floor, I had my choice of strong connections and the speed was perfect.
Plenty of parking. I didn’t make it to any breakfasts nor did I get down for the free beers and other things they do, but they had them.
That’s what I got… oh, price, they had a military discount, we were under $ 100 a night, and it’s right down from the airport, about 5 miles, if that.

3.5 Stars
I stayed here for a whole week while on work travel and was very impressed with the amenities. I’ve never stayed at extended stay motel/​hotel before so I don’t know what is standard, but this place had everything! First of all, my room was HUGE. I had a separate living room, a small kitchenette, 2 queen size beds, a desk area and a vanity area that was separate from the bathroom. The kitchen had an oven, stove, microwave and a full size fridge. The cabinets were fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, etc., but, not that I had to ever use the kitchen since they served free breakfast and dinner every weeknight in their lobby/​lounge. The breakfast was amazing! There was a vast selection of juices, fruits, cereals, pastries and hot food, like eggs and sausage or bacon. For dinner, which they actually call «happy hour,» they serve some sort of hot food (meatloaf, pizza, taco, chicken wings) with sides (veggies, salads, breads) and it’s all buffet style. The best part is that there’s unlimited wine and beer! The premises also include free Wi-​Fi internet in the room, laundry room, small pool, gym and a basketball court. The hotel is also just minutes from the airport and about 10 minutes from a large shopping mall. The place only gets 3.5 stars since it’s not the top of the line in quality… the rooms are about equal to any Days Inn but the other amenities sure make it nice =)
