Our take
This hotel is a great fit for families, groups, or anyone driving to Columbus for a game or concert at Ohio Stadium. The free parking is a major plus, allowing you to avoid stadium parking hassles. The pet-friendly policy is a welcome bonus for those traveling with animals. While not directly adjacent to the stadium, its convenient transport links and amenities like the restaurant and pool make it a comfortable and practical choice. Fans looking for a lively, walkable pre-game atmosphere right outside their door might prefer something closer, but for overall convenience and comfort, it's a strong contender.
- Utilize the free parking and consider a taxi or ride-share for a quick trip to Ohio Stadium on game day.
- Book a table at the hotel's American restaurant for a convenient pre-game meal without leaving the property.
- Take advantage of the indoor pool and hot tub for a relaxing break, especially if you're traveling with kids.
