HOTEL & TRAVEL

Hotel Information


PARKING

Parking is self-park and complimentary.


HOTEL

Nationwide Hotel Tax Exempt:

  • The method of payment must be directly from the exempted entity (a credit card or check from the organization.)  It cannot be a personal credit card or cash as that is a reimbursement rather than direct pay.  
  • As we are in Lewis Center in Delaware County, all guests are subject to the local 9% tax.  (There is a tax-exempt form that can be found online for Delaware county but that is for the hotels over in the Polaris area that are annexed by City of Columbus.  Delaware county does not exempt at all).
