The hotel that is booked is the Holiday Inn, 175 East Town St. I'm told it's a 20 min walk to Nationwide.
Thanks puckhogg, I never thought of that thread.
Are the old-school jerseys still acceptable to wear?
I know that hotel well. Given your price of roughly $89/night you might not get a better rate. But I just checked PRICELINE and the
Red Roof Inn is priced around $119/night and MUCH closer to where you want to be. Also on PRICELINE, they had the Hyatt on Capitol Square which is much nicer than the Holiday Inn is $109/night, yet it is not too far away from the Holiday Inn, yet still in a much better location than the Holiday Inn. Also, I checked for the
Courtyard by Marriott which is much closer to the Arena District and rooms range from $109 to $139. There's also a
Hampton Inn just north of the Arena District that is pretty nice from what I hear.
The Hyatt Regency is the closest you can get to the Arena, yet it will definitely be higher than the Red Roof Inn which is just east of it, same goes for the
Crowne Plaza. There's also the
Drury Hotel right next to the Hyatt Regency, but I'm not sure of the room rates.
(Hotels in bold are closest to Arena & Arena District)Basically what I'm trying to tell you, the Holiday Inn would be the LAST place I would choose to stay in Cbus. It's just on the east edge of downtown, where you're not in the thick of things in the Arena District, which is absolutely where you want to be. I've lived in Cbus all my life and just want you and your friends to enjoy your stay here and not make a mistake by staying at that hotel.
But then again, it is a bachelor party and who the hell cares where you stay right? Wherever you end up, I just hope you guys have one hell of a night!
