I used priceline last time and got a 4 star room at the hyatt I beleive for 50 and less than 60 after taxes and everything.  I will be doing this again because we walked to the show.  See you there.

On the above map, the "A" balloon is the Gordon Biersch Brewery, where my wife and I had a few brews before the last MMJ Columbus show.   Just to the west of the brewery is the LC Pavilion (corner of Neil and Broadbelt), so it's easy walking distance.  Columbus Brewing Company has better beer, IMO, but they are not within walking distance.  If you zoom out a few notches on that map, you'll see an area south of the venue, and just south of I70/71, listed as Brewery District and Scioto Audobon Metro Park.  This Brewery District is where the CBC is, as well as maybe one or two other breweries (maybe Hoster Brewing?) and restaurants.  Elsewhere, in the  downtown/Short North area, there is the Elevator Brewery, and Barley's Brewing.  Lots of choices, some a further walk than others, and others a quick cab ride away from the venue.

A Hyatt within walking distance? That is a BIG maybe...

Also, last time there seemed to be a bar open up the stairs and to the left upon entering the venue... :)

just got a room on priceline at the mariot on gay st. for 59.67.  I bid 45 for a 3,4,5 star hotel in the downtown area 6 I think.  And we always go to Ted's to get a bison burger and a beer before shows here. It's .7 miles from the venue.

Yes, you are correct.  One really doesn't need to leave the venue to get their "show" face on :o.  I just wanted to make sure Paul137 knew about the brewpub options.

You are very welcome.  As I said, I like the Columbus Brewing Co. brews better than Gordon Biersch.  With my tastes, I guess that's expected.  I prefer the India and American Pale Ales any day over the Hefeweizen, Marzen and Bocks.  Not that they're bad at all, they tasted mighty fine before the last MMJ show in Columbus!  Just personal preference.  The only other one I've tried is the Elevator, although I don't really remember specifics as it was a long time ago.

i'm reeeeeeeaally considering it, and if i do, i'll let you know, alady. i live in cbus and recently moved from dc, so it'll be a party on both ends.

[ALady]

Excellent   :)  I have a feeling once I get to MPP, I won't want the party to end...might as well finish out the run, right?   ;D
