Our take
I would book Marriott Columbus OSU for an Ohio State weekend when the family drives in but would rather take the bus to the game. Parking is free, the bus stop is a minute away, and the indoor pool and restaurant cover the hours after the final whistle. A 9.0 guest score across more than 1,000 reviews makes it one of the safer picks near Ohio Stadium.
- Utilize the free parking to avoid game-day traffic around Ohio Stadium
- Take advantage of the indoor pool for a relaxing break before or after the event
- Check the bus schedule from Olentangy River Rd & Riverview for direct routes to the stadium
