Recommended Hotel Options
(There are some inexpensive options off Interstate 70 on Scarborough Blvd and Brice Rd (~$45-$70). Even so, we would not recommend staying in that area.)
Carraway Guest House
156 Washington St, Canal Winchester, OH 43110
6 min to classroom
Approx $79/night
Closest option by far. In quaint downtown Canal Winchester.
Friendly owners. Great reviews.
Unfortunately it is frequently booked up.
9 min to classroom
Approx $139/night
Second closest option. Close to several restaurants & fast food options.
Arguably overpriced.
16 min to classroom
Approx $150/night
Located right next to the previous option (WoodSpring) but much more expensive.
At this price point, the much closer Best Western would make more sense.
Baymont by Wyndham Columbus/ Rickenbacker
2323 Rickenbacker Pkwy W, Columbus, OH 43217
16 min to classroom
Approx $80/night
Inexpensive. Looks nice. Right across from the Rickenbacker Military Base.
Surrounded by warehouses. No close fast food or grocery store options.
