Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center

Columbus Grand Hotel & Banquet Center is a basic roadside hotel outside Columbus, Ohio, with advertised parking, WiFi, air conditioning, heating, television, and work desks. Its location provides driving access to Interstate 71 and several Columbus destinations, but these practical features should be considered secondary to a serious hygiene concern. Bedbugs have been reported by a guest, and additional reviews mention cockroaches or other bugs. Reports of odors, mildew, questionable cleanliness, and rooms not being ready to a suitable standard add to the concern. This creates potential risks for sleep, personal belongings, and confidence in room hygiene. Guest feedback also describes inconsistent maintenance and access, including problems with doors, locks, plumbing, room equipment, and check-in. Some guests mention helpful staff or satisfactory stays, but those comments do not resolve the pest report or broader variability in room condition. If considering this property, verify current pest-control status and inspect the room carefully before unpacking. Travelers who cannot readily change accommodation if problems arise should exercise particular caution before booking. The advertised basic amenities and roadside location fit a budget-oriented hotel, but guest reports indicate a substantial gap between the advertised setup and the condition or reliability experienced by some travelers.
