Hotel Information

Getting rooms won’t be impossible, but it will be difficult the weekend of July 8th-9th. The GoodGuys car show is that weekend, along with a baseball tournament at OSU, and they've all had rooms reserved since last year. Nevertheless, we were able to reserve rooms at 3 hotels in the area of the event. The details are below; anyone calling for a room should mention the Buckeye Miata Club. 



Attendees desiring a non-smoking room should call immediately as no one would reserve non-smoking rooms, period.



Reservations MUST be made before the release date; otherwise, the rooms go back to the general pool and rooms may not be available.
