Pros

Complimentary shuttle service within 5-mile radius

Weeknight happy hour specials at Pavilion Lounge

Close proximity to multiple dining options including Texas Roadhouse (0.5 miles) and Bar Louie (0.5 miles)

Near natural attractions like Highbanks Metro Park and Alum Creek State Park

Cons

Full room cleaning provided every fourth night only

15.5 miles from the nearest airport

“Hilton Garden Inn Columbus/Polaris aims for both business and family travelers; I see the appeal of a clean room and the perks of a jacuzzi, but the hotel seems to miss the mark on consistent service. With shopping and dining nearby, it's a conveniently located home base, provided you don't need that promised shuttle or poolside relaxation.”
