Here’s another suggestion for rooms for PulpFest 2016:
http://columbusosu.place.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html
Hyatt Place Columbus is near Ohio State University and offers free shuttle service from 9 AM through 9 PM within a three-mile radius, which includes the Greater Columbus Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency.
The cost is more than the PulpFest rate (no longer available, due to the sell-out at the hotel), but includes free parking, free wifi, and a free breakfast.
There may also be some rooms left in the downtown area, if you’d prefer to stay close to the hotel. You’ll find a list of area hotels at www.columbusconventions.com/thearea.php, courtesy of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Alternately, you can search for a room at tripadvisor or a similar website to find a hotel near the convention. Thanks so much to everyone who heeded our advice and reserved a room early at our host hotel. By staying at the Hyatt Regency, you’ve helped to ensure the convention’s success.
