Just take High Street one street south to Chestnut St.
Turn left, and the parking will be immediately on your left.
Remember to mention the convention to get the special parking rate.
By Train
Should you be awesome enough to arrive by train, I must sadly admit that unfortunately there is no train station in Columbus. The closest Amtrak stations are in Cleveland, Toledo, or Cincinnati.
Should you arrive by space Train via the 999, 777, or the Galaxy Railways, we'll be happy to accomodate.
