DoubleTree by Hilton Columbus Dublin
Full-service comfort a few minutes from Indian Run Falls
About this hotel
This DoubleTree property covers the full-service basics, an indoor pool, a fitness center and an on-site restaurant and bar, in a setting a short taxi ride from Indian Run Falls and a two-minute walk from 565 Metro Place South. Breakfast costs extra here rather than coming included, which sets it apart from several nearby properties, but the restaurant and bar on site make up for it on an evening after a long day at Zoombezi Bay. The indoor pool gives kids a second swim option once the water park closes, and the pet-friendly policy covers a family travelling with a dog without adding a separate booking elsewhere. That is a modest difference on paper, but it is the kind of detail that shapes how the whole multi-day trip actually feels by the second morning.
- Indoor pool and fitness center on site
- Restaurant and bar for evening dining
- Pet-friendly rooms with free Wi-Fi and parking
- Short taxi ride to Indian Run Falls
Our take
This suits a family wanting full-service dining and a fitness center without needing a kitchenette, and the on-site restaurant is a genuine convenience after a tiring zoo day. Families wanting breakfast included as standard, rather than at an added cost, should look toward Hampton Inn or Fairfield by Marriott instead. For a family weighing several options in this same price range, that detail alone can be enough to decide between two otherwise similar hotels.
- ✓Budget for breakfast separately here, since it is not included in the standard nightly rate, a detail easy to miss when booking quickly.
- ✓Use the on-site restaurant on the evening after a long Zoombezi Bay day rather than driving elsewhere for dinner.
- ✓Take a short taxi ride to Indian Run Falls on a quieter morning before or after the zoo visit.

Why guests love itWe appreciated having a proper restaurant downstairs after the first Zoombezi Bay day, since none of us had the energy to go out for dinner. Breakfast cost extra, which we had not budgeted for at first, but the indoor pool and the short drive to Indian Run Falls made up for it over the length of the stay. That combination of amenities and location is what makes this pick worth the extra look compared with the rest of the corridor.
