Cubicle Dreamin': Going Back to College

Where: 2110 Tuttle Park Pl. [map], Columbus, OH, United States, 43210

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Pbb finds a Red Roof Inn alternative in Columbus. Enjoy.

Not to jump on the bandwagon of Ohio-haters, but we normally wouldn't Cubicle Dream about Columbus. But since sis site Jaunted started covering the Skybus shenanigans, we've looked into the scene. And The Blackwell looks like the place we'd check in if we wanted to relive our college years since it's on the campus of Ohio State University. Plus the reviews aren't too bad.

I was not expecting much considering that it is on campus. I was immediately impressed by the professionalism of the front desk staff. The lobby is striking and sophisticated, especially for Columbus. The location is unbeatable if you have any business to attend to on campus. I imagine it would be fantastic for a football game, considering the stadium is just across the street. The rooms were nice, and all of the food was fantastic.

The hotel has all your standard amenities, and even has an airport shuttle that runs from early morning to late night. So if you need a comfortable ride somewhere after your Skybus flight, The Blackwell has you covered.
