LODGING SUGGESTIONS: Downtown is 3.5 miles/approximately 10 minutes away from our Central Office location. Hilliard-Rome Road & I70 is 6.5 miles/approximately 10-15 minutes away. The downtown hotels are very nice, but, they can be slightly pricier than other areas. Most of them do offer government rates, however. Both areas offer plenty of restaurants but there is more shopping in the Hilliard-Rome Road & I-70 area. The downtown area hotels that are highlighted are near the Convention Center and Arena District. This area is recommended as there are more restaurant options than in other parts of downtown.

DIRECTIONS: Here is a link to directions to our complex: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Facilities/Facilities/driversguide/Central/Pages/CentralOffice.aspx

WHEN YOU ARRIVE: When you arrive at our complex you will most likely turn right into our drive. There is one small building on your right as you first enter and then there are two tall buildings that look just alike. You will drive past the first building (Ohio Department of Public Safety) and park in front of the second (Ohio Department of Transportation). Parking is free. All visitors must enter at the South end of the building. The receptionist will point you in the right direction.
