Our take
I would book Red Roof PLUS+ Columbus OSU for a no-frills game weekend where location near campus matters more than comfort. Rooms are modest and the 7.4 guest score reflects that, but parking and Wi-Fi are free, dogs are welcome and the fire pit gives the group somewhere to meet after the game. Public transport nearby helps on game days, when driving close to Ohio Stadium is slow.
- Utilize the free parking and take public transport to the stadium to avoid game-day traffic and parking fees.
- If you're bringing a pet, confirm the pet policy and any specific room assignments when booking.
- Check public transport schedules in advance for game days, especially for late-night returns after evening games.
