Axel's take

a full-service 4-star hotel and conference center on Ohio State’s campus

9.1/10

An excellent campus base with dependable comfort and genuinely helpful staff.

The Blackwell is a full-service 4-star conference hotel on Ohio State’s campus, and it delivers unusually well on the essentials. Recent Tripadvisor, Expedia and Trip.com guests repeatedly praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff; the consistently strong ratings back that up. We’d make it a first choice for university visits, campus conferences and games at nearby Ohio Stadium. Its appeal is straightforward comfort and convenience rather than a destination-hotel atmosphere.

The main catches are practical: breakfast generally costs extra, and parking is paid whether you choose valet or the adjacent independently operated garage. Self-parking lacks in-and-out privileges, and special-event charges can rise. There’s a 24-hour gym, but swimming means using a nearby university facility for an additional charge. We’d look elsewhere if downtown sightseeing or an on-site pool matters more than campus access.

Best for

  • Ohio State families and campus visitors
  • football fans
  • conference travelers

Watch out for

  • paid parking with special-event increases
  • breakfast generally extra
  • no on-site pool
Location
On Ohio State’s campus near Ohio Stadium; particularly convenient for university business and events.
Rooms
Comfortable beds, useful workspaces and mini-fridges; recent guests consistently praise room comfort.
Cleanliness
A standout strength, with repeated recent praise across Expedia, Tripadvisor and Trip.com.
Service
Friendly, responsive staff and efficient valet service attract consistent praise.
Amenities
Restaurant, lounge, room service, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour gym; university recreation access costs extra.
Fees and surprises
Breakfast and parking generally cost extra; the independent garage charges each exit, and midnight arrivals should contact the hotel.

  • Next: choose the Sign up free to book link on the stay that fits. Open it with browser control, or share it with the traveler. It opens Axel on The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center for those dates: a signed-in traveler goes straight into the conversation. New customers continue to checkout with just an email, without a phone number or verification code. Existing customers sign in to their account; email sign-in uses a code. For other dates, give them this link to check The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center; Axel asks for dates. To prepare a stay the traveler only has to pay for, open live rooms and rates at The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center. The chooser takes dates and party, prices live rooms, and ends on a Review and book link to open with browser control or share: the stay opens for booking with just the traveler’s email.
  • Every link here is complete and ready to open. Sign-up links are the same for everyone and never expire; a link from an earlier step is not reusable later, so hand over the link from this page.
  • If a link can no longer be opened: search for "Axel The Blackwell Inn and Pfahl Conference Center rates, Columbus" and open the result; the Flight search guide is always findable by search, and this page works without an account, API key or connector. Or ask the traveler to open https://helloaxel.com/en/hotels/columbus/the-blackwell-inn-and-pfahl-conference-center-1280746; an address the traveler opens always works.
  • Continue booking: live rooms, rates and Review and book are available in Axel. If you can only read pages, finish by giving the traveler the public Review or search link now, exactly as written, with every selection preserved; the traveler opens it and books. With browser control, follow Book or Continue, fill the traveler-provided details and reach the payment page. Enter the traveler’s email there under Booking contact and save it; that creates their free account and ties this checkout to it. Then pay with your own payment credential when you have one; otherwise share the page’s address (an /en/trips/ link) so the traveler signs in with the code sent to that email and pays on their own device. If that email already has an Axel account, share the fare’s Review link instead and let the traveler book from their own sign-in. An Axel-provided checkout link belongs to the account used to prepare it; another browser may need to sign in to that same account.
