What a cute area in Ohio! I stumbled upon this area when searching for things to do on Yelp. When I…read morewas planning to visit, I did not have any particular place in mind to visit; I just planning to stroll and pop into places if they looked enticing. We had our dog with us so we did not do an abundance of walking around. From what I saw, there were no places that welcomed pets in the businesses. It makes sense and it was no biggie, I just did not spend as much time as I would have if pets were welcome. I stopped into what I thought was a deli but more like a restaurant with a counter, hoping to purchase goodies for home. There are several stores for shopping, which were fun to browse. I only purchased some chocolates in a candy store, which apparently were made in house. I definitely want to visit here again with more research.

This is a lovely historic neighborhood just a couple miles south of downtown Columbus. If you have…read morea free afternoon and the weather is nice, it's well worth a visit to Schiller Park (dog-friendly with benches) which has a garden and statue dedicated to the German poet Schiller. I took COTA Bus #5 from downtown Columbus (Ohio Statehouse) and explored the area just north of the park. The brick houses and cobblestone alleyways provide a glimpse of life in the 1880s and early 1900s when this area became a central hub for the German-American community. I don't think there are too many kid-friendly activities or museums nearby - but it makes a pleasant excursion if you're stuck at the Convention Center for a conference in downtown Columbus. Street parking looked a bit challenging. If Bus #5 is running slow on your return trip from the German Village back to the downtown area (it can be up to a 30 minute wait if you just missed the last bus), consider taking an Uber/Lyft taxi instead.

This garage is easy to navigate and just across the street from the Ohio theater. We did have to walk up some stairs to get to the theater but it was not bad. Now if you can't walk up stairs then this might not be work for you because they are a bit steep. I'm not sure where the handicap exit was or if it is available. They do have several electric car charging parking spots if need that also.

First thing you need to know is that the pricing here is ultra reasonable. If I remember correctly, it's $1 for every 30 minutes with a daily max of $13... so you can park all day long for a measly 13 bones The next thing you need to know is that the parking lot, even on a busy festival weekend with a convention in progress was relatively empty and so clean you could eat off ground. Even the elevator area was really nice and not only was it air-conditioned, but it actually kind of smelled nice. I don't think I've ever been in a parking garage elevator or stairwell that didn't smell like cooked pee, so this was a really nice change of pace. Well done, Greater Columbus Convention Center Parking Garage. Well done.

So if you stay 1 night at the hotel, you'll end up paying the max-rate $25 for the day you checked in AND as many hours as it was until you checked out in the morning. So our "one night" hotel stay ended up being about $50 for a single night. It's possibly the most money-grabbing parking ramp set up I've seen before, and I've seen it on a few Short North garages now. This is where I saw LeVeque valet attendants bringing cars as well. It's less than a block's walk to the front door of the hotel. There don't appear to be any attendants. There's a covered/indoor skywalk on the 2nd floor that goes between LeVeque and the garage. LeVeque does not verify parking for cheaper rates; they are what they are (I uploaded a December 2023 prices photo). Garage is clean and functional. Elevator and stairs are a little darker and older than I'd like for my safety, and I wouldn't feel super comfortable walking around by myself late at night in here. It was functional for the daytime. The majority of the lower floors are reserved parking, but there are a few unreserved spots. There's the single pay terminal on the first floor. I would NOT use this garage if you're here for a high-crowd event. The terminal is slow, and I can't imagine trying to get a giant crowd out of here. It worked fine for an average evening and morning with just a few stragglers around.
