Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Columbus Downtown - Convention Center
Follow High Street from downtown to Ohio State
Downtown, the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the Short North, and the University District sit along the same north-south High Street corridor. The convention center is downtown at North High Street and Nationwide Boulevard. The Short North sits north of downtown and south of the University District.
Farther north, High Street reaches the University District, home to Ohio State. Downtown and Convention Center names point to the south end of this corridor, while Ohio State names point farther north.
Polaris sits north of I-270
Polaris is in north Columbus, two miles north of I-270 and directly off I-71. That road position gives it a different job from the central High Street stays.
An 18+ hotel still needs to fit the trip. Polaris works for north-side plans, while the High Street corridor makes more sense for trips centered on downtown or Ohio State.
