Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express & Suites
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Great Hotel & Shopping at Polaris"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We were coming back to Ohio from a four day trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. We didn't want the experience to quite end so we decided to shop for a day at Polaris in north Columbus. The Holiday Inn had a good rate from my Entertainment Book so we tried it. It was a delightful room, spacious and comfortable. The beds were great, just like the Holiday Inns I remembered staying on my car trip out West back when I was 9! The breakfast was delicious and there were just the right selections! I can't tell you how pleased my wife and I were that we stayed with Holiday Inn!
