Columbus is a convention center town - so there are a ton-o-rooms there. I live in Indy a few hours down the highway, so I always drive over. I normally book my room a couple weeks before the show and have never had a problem with availability. It does get 20 or 30 dollars more per night by waiting like that, but I have always been able to get a room at the hotel I wanted to stay at (except the host hotel - and those should be gone by now...). It's a cool 'little' town with restaurants and bars all over the place. Anywhere you stay is accessible to everything in about 20 minutes by car. Most everyone gathers at the host hotel awning for beers and conversation after dark each night. IMO it's the best car guy gathering in the midwest all year - even though it's damn hot that time of year....
