Extended Stay America Suites- Columbus - Dublin
Kitchenette studios at Dublin's lowest Zoombezi Bay rate
About this hotel
This extended-stay property trades resort polish for a straightforward kitchenette studio, which suits a family less interested in hotel amenities than in a low nightly rate and enough space to cook a simple breakfast before the drive to the zoo. It sits a short walk from Metro Place North and Upper Metro Place, with a public-transport connection to Indian Run Falls in under ten minutes for a quiet stop before or after the water park. A toddler gets a real sleeping area away from the main room, a teenager gets a kitchenette to raid at odd hours, and a family travelling with a dog does not need a second, pricier booking elsewhere in the corridor. The trade-off is no pool on site, so the water happens entirely at Zoombezi Bay itself.
- Kitchenette in every studio, not just upgraded suites
- Free breakfast included at the lowest rate in the corridor
- Pet-friendly with air conditioning throughout
- Short walk to Metro Place North and Upper Metro Place
Our take
This is the corridor's most budget-forward suite option, and it suits a family prioritizing a low nightly rate and a working kitchenette over hotel amenities like a pool or restaurant. Families wanting a swim option beyond the zoo itself, or expecting a full-service breakfast spread, should look toward Home2 Suites or Fairfield by Marriott instead.
- ✓Cook breakfast in the kitchenette before an early zoo gate time to save the morning rush.
- ✓Bring your dog's bedding along, since the pet-friendly policy does not include pet amenities, which saves time once the trip is underway.
- ✓Use the nearby public-transport stop for a quick trip to Indian Run Falls on a rest day.

Why guests love itWe treated this as a one-night stop before Zoombezi Bay and the kitchenette turned out to be the real value, letting us make a quick breakfast and pack leftover snacks for the drive home instead of stopping somewhere else. The room itself was basic but clean, and the free parking and pet-friendly policy meant we did not have to plan around either. It is not a place to linger, but as a base purely for the zoo day, it did exactly what we needed.
