Our take
This hotel is a great fit for families and those who appreciate the convenience of a downtown location with good transport links to Ohio Stadium. The free breakfast and pet-friendly policy add significant value, making it a comfortable base for a game-day weekend. While not directly adjacent to the stadium, its proximity to major public transport routes ensures a smooth journey to and from the event. Fans looking for a lively pre-game atmosphere right outside their door might prefer something closer to the stadium, but for a more relaxed, amenity-rich stay with easy city access, this is an excellent choice.
- Utilize the free breakfast to fuel up before heading to Ohio Stadium for an early game.
- Check public transport routes from N High St & E Long St for the quickest way to the stadium on game day.
- If you're driving, factor in the paid parking at the hotel and consider pre-booking if available for busy event weekends.
