"must-sees" in the Buckeye capital?

Columbus has got a nice art museum, a science museum called COSI that's
excellent (but many think it's overpriced), a very good zoo (about a 15
minute drive from downtown); the Ohio Historical Center, the Short
North area has art galleries, and the German Village area has nice
older homes, some good restaurants, and brick streets.

I can't recommend specific hotels, but the German Village area would be
a good place to look as it's close to the downtown and has a lot of
charm.

DiscoverOhio.com is a good source of tourist info.
