Fort Rapids was a hotel and water park located in Columbus, Ohio.
Fort Rapids was constructed alongside the existing Holiday Inn Columbus East hotel. The hotel was renovated as part of the project. It opened in 2006.[1][2][3]
In February 2016, the hotel was ordered to close by the Columbus Police Department due to numerous code violations.[4]
In January 2018, a water pipe burst on the upper floors of the hotel, leading to ice forming on the exterior walls.[5]
