Go to their website for details and amenities


The Drury Inn & Suites is located in the heart of downtown Columbus with plenty of things to see and do within easy walking distance of the hotel.
 


Breakfast is included with the hotel each morning

This is in the heart of the action in downtown where you’ll find lots of activity within easy walking distance from the hotel. Wander down cobbled streets to a trendy restaurant or a casual cafe. Stop into a local pub for a taste of the native brew. Take in a concert at the one-of-a-kind PromoWest Pavilion and Nationwide Arena, or sit back and enjoy a movie at the Arena Grand Theatre. Just a few blocks more and you're where the creative spirits live. Short North and The Ohio State University districts are pulsing with energy– restaurants, bars, nightclubs, & theater. It’s an approximate 15 minute drive away from the Laser Training Institute, and you’ll be going the opposite direction of morning and afternoon traffic into downtown.
For Laser Repair Course Attendees: We suggest a rental car for the week (hotel parking fees will then also apply - about $12/day). We’ll also give you a local map and list of places to go around Columbus for your off hours entertainment and ½ day “break day”. A welcome package and map to the training center will be waiting for you upon check-in. If our room block gets filled we’ll make other suitable arrangements for your stay. We make your reservations & directly pay the costs (room & tax only)
for registrants of the Comprehensive Laser Repair Course. Breakfast is included with the hotel.
