What's nearby

  • The second oldest building remaining on The Ohio State University campus, Orton Hall was opened in 1893. It is named after Dr Edward Orton, Sr. who served as Ohio State's first president, OSU Professor of Geology from 1873 to 1899, and Ohio's State Geologist from 1882 until his death in 1899. Orton Hall is built of 40 different Ohio building stones. In the outside walls, these stones are laid in stratigraphic order according to their relative positions in Ohio's bedrock. The only non-indigenous to Ohio stone used is Indiana Limestone to build the front steps. It was chosen because of its high concentration of embedded fossils. The bell tower was dedicated in 1915 and contains 25,000 pounds of bells that can be heard regularly tolling across campus. Encircling the top of the tower are 24 columns with gargoyle-like figures which are restorations of fossil animals.

The front desk staff was excellent. We arrived late at night, close to midnight, while driving and looking for a place to stay. By mistake, we had booked the room just after midnight, thinking we already had a reservation for that night. When we arrived, we realized the booking was actually for the next day. The staff member was extremely courteous and helpful after about an hour, he was able to arrange a room for us so we could stay overnight. We truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism.
