Though there's no room service, the nearby dining options stay open late enough for post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no on-site bar or live music, you’re a short drive or ride-share from Columbus’ buzzing nightlife scene. Head downtown for clubs, lounges, and post-show hangouts, or keep it low-key with local brews from nearby bars.
