Busy weekend in Columbus with most every property sold out. Arrived at the Hilton Garden Columbus/Polaris to be told there was a "problem" with our room and that the manager had been trying to get in touch with us through Expedia since he arrived at work 2 1/2 hours earlier to tell us our room had been cancelled although I never received any contact. I believe our room was likely bribed out. I was offered a couple bottles of water for the inconvenience which I politely refused. Very disappointed in the way this was handled. Still awaiting a refund from Expedia although this process seems very difficult as well.

We actually really liked this hotel! It was super clean, the room was a nice size, and it was quiet! Our only complaint was the breakfast, the restaurant part was kinda pricey and we didn’t get what we asked for when it came out.

This was supposed to be a handicap accessible room. Did not have a walk in shower. They only provided a seat for you to place in tub. Handicap bar located behind toilet tank? Toilet made noises all night. Sink in bathroom had little room for toiletries. No storage in bathroom. No safe in room. coffee pot only let you brew about a 6 ounce cup which made it very strong. Room purchased through Expedia so they would not give me points for a Hilton member which we were never made aware of. I have stayed at Hiltons before and they were very nice. This place was a disappointment and we were glad we were only there one night. Will look for a different hotel the next time I book. Bathroom in hotel lobby had 2 sinks that didn’t work and two toilets that were out of order. Didn’t even bother to go look at pool or use any other part of hotel.🙁
