  • 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.

We have stayed at Nationwide/Ohioan several times, and the staff are always pleasant. This time, they were learning the "new system" in the front desk and was a little slow in navigating the process. My family will be staying there again in the springtime, so I can give you more feedback then. Great place to stay.

Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center Review

Beautiful hotel/campus. Great amenities. Currently undergoing improvements/construction. Did not impact stay, though. Rooms are great. Nice, big fitness center and outside and inside pools. Breakfast buffet (included) was very nice. Highly recommend at the discounted price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We really liked our room. It had a little sofa area to relax so you were not in the bed all the time. We also have a son with special needs. That gave him another area to sit. It was nice to have the conference area as an added space we could use. The downside is that they are renovating the hotel. The staff were extremely accommodating and very kind. Customer service was excellent! I'm sure the hotel will be beautiful once the renovations are completed.
