What an amazing place to stay! We were in town for a wedding and this motel not only was convenient but the neighborhood (parks, restaurants, etc) were an added plus for our first time in Columbus! Highly recommend! Communication with the motel was excellent and I appreciated their patience with a few last minute changes we made.

The motel is loving decorated in retro mid century style. Mattress, towels and amenities are all of excellent quality. The pour-over coffee was a nice touch. I was visiting from out of state to attend a wedding. The bride, groom and bridal party- along with other family members- also stayed at the motel. The patio proved convenient for meeting and gathering with everyone. Location is convenient for walk-to restaurants and easy to access for taxi rides.

Thanks for a wonderful stay! We really enjoyed our room—it was comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and full of great little details. The retro aesthetic gives the motel so much character, and we loved the attention to sustainability throughout the property. The coffee was excellent, too! It was a very short walk to the German district with quaint shopping and nice German food. We would definitely stay here again and will happily recommend South Wind Motel to others visiting Columbus.

I loved everything about this stay! The motel is within walking distance of Schiller Park and many great local restaurants and cafés. The property has been beautifully restored and is incredibly eco-friendly and efficient. Our room was spotless, and the thoughtful amenities made the stay even more enjoyable. One of my favorite touches was the lobby’s vintage library card catalog. Each drawer is stocked with items guests may have forgotten, such as razors, toothbrushes, a sound machine, a book light, a first aid kit, and more. It’s a creative and genuinely useful idea. The staff was easy to reach by text and responded quickly to every question we had. One thing to keep in mind is that the motel is located on a main street in the city, so you will hear some traffic noise. We turned on our sound machine, and it easily masked those sounds, allowing us to sleep comfortably. We will absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning on future visits to Columbus.

The South Wind Motel was just right for our one night stop. We loved that they restored a small motel. . Love that we could park right outside the door. It was a very kitschy place. Bed was comfy and sheets and towels were great. The retro vibe was fabulous! Loved the coffee and the water in the fridge. All the information given about the area was fantastic. We ate at Emmett's and Wow! That recommendation was excellent.

Easy to get to right off I71. Beautiful motel with the original old feel! Nice hot showers. Comfortable beds. And a lot of free items in the lobby should you forget something on your travels. The lady running the lobby was friendly and the motel products you can buy there are super cute! For the same price as a standard Holiday Inn Express within the same area, this was well worth it! Check it out if you are looking for a place to stay in Columbus!

This motel is one of the gems of Columbus. We booked both large suites for our wedding party getting ready, and regular rooms for guests. Couldn't have asked for a better place! The decor is so cool, rooms are so clean, and responding times so quick. I cannot wait to come stay again!!!!

I came back into town with my partner for the weekend and decided to give South Wind a shot, since I saw it had been renovated. I'm glad I did, because this place is millenial catnip. It's clean, it's comfortable, and the rooms are gorgeous and actually look like the photos. The price is also very reasonable, especially given the quality of the accommodations and the location. It's very easy to walk to a lot of the city's bars and restaurants from here, and it's also well serviced by public transit, if city driving makes you nervous. Of note, the room we stayed in was also very accessible, other than the step up to get into the hotel. The shower is a walk in and there are a lot of grab bars and supports throughout the bathroom, as well as plenty of space to get a wheelchair or walker through. While were were here the door lock malfunctioned while were trying to re-enter our room. The staff were no longer on site, but after I texted them they were able to troubleshoot, and when that didn't work they were there within 10 minutes. Seriously helpful folks who seem invested in the area. We plan to stay again when we visit next.

We recently stayed at the South Wind Motel while we were in Columbus and we absolutely loved it. The property is beautifully updated. Everything was incredibly clean and very well maintained, and it was clear that the owners take real pride in the place. It has a cozy, thoughtful feel that you just don’t get from chain hotels. Our suite had a separate living area with a couch, table, and TV, plus a bedroom with a comfortable king bed. The kitchenette was a great, and the bathroom setup was especially nice with walk-in shower We also loved the little details. The door used an electronic keypad so we could check in easily without needing to meet anyone. They provided locally roasted coffee with pour over, a record player with albums to enjoy, and even a few simple games like Uno. They also have a compost option for things like coffee grounds and fruit peels, which was a thoughtful and environmentally friendly touch. The location was perfect for us as well, close to German Village and plenty of great restaurants. It’s the kind of place that feels personal, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. We will absolutely stay here again on future trips to Columbus and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, clean, and well-kept place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean. Easy check in and check out. Coffee and tea provided. A short walk to the heart of German Village. The whole place was super cute. The bed and bedding were unbelievably comfortable. Also, free parking in areas like these is hard to find. We appreciate it is included. All in all, we highly recommend staying here.
