Lodging
The closest hotel is The Blackwell, literally across the street from Knowlton. We've arranged a room block of 10 rooms at $109 per night. To get one of these rooms, call the Blackwell directly at 1-866-247-4003 and request the "PyOhio" rate. This rate was only guaranteed through Friday, July 17th; however, the hotel will continue to honor the rate while they have room.

Note: The Holiday Inn on Lane Ave has closed.

The most convenient parking location is the Tuttle Park Place Garage. The garage is adjacent to Knowlton hall and costs $3 per exit on the weekend.

State route 315 is under heavy construction and many of the campus area exits will be closed. See details from ODOT, and OSU map for avoiding blockages.
