"The Blackwell is an amazing hotel and facility right on OSU's campus, which is why it's amazingly convenient to so much, but also hard to get a room (and at a "normal" price) on busy times like parents' weekend or any home football game weekend. But if you can get a room at their normal rate on an "off" night, it's the best deal in town. Friendly and accommodating staff, a good bar/restaurant area, and a great breakfast room called 2110 makes it all you need for your stay. Very nice sized rooms as well. Decent gym area too. But it's the convenience that makes this one the winner every time... if you can get a room at the right price."
