The area truly shines on game days when scarlet and grey transform the streets into a lively celebration.

Hollywood Casino & Hotel Columbus

10/10 Excellent

"Connected to the casino which is very nice. Very clean, very nice rooms, ample free parking, helpful and friendly staff. The Hill has some good items I just don't recommend the chicken poutine."

The Junto

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved our stay at the Junto. There were a lot of things to do around the hotel, and some great food options. The hotel was immaculate and our room was great. The lobby was a little busy, but I assume we were close to a college, because there were at a lot of students at the cafe, but it wasn’t overcrowded at all. Loved the vibe. We will definitely stay here again next time we’re in town."
