Hotel rooms

We have a large block of rooms reserved at a discounted rate. Reservations in that block are available now. The conference group rate of $145/night (plus taxes) includes a complimentary hot and cold buffet breakfast. Parking is free, and is self-parking in surface lots.

Check-in starts at 3:00 pm with check-out by 11:00 am. Luggage storage will be provided, based upon availability, for guests arriving earlier than the check-in time or staying later than the check-out time.

In order to receive these group rates, reservations MUST be made directly with Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center. Discounted rates will NOT be honored for reservations made through third-party sites. Registration MUST be made either on-line (www.nwhotelandconferencecenter.com) or by phone (614-880-4300). You must use group code 363277 and specify your arrival and departure dates. Please verify that you are receiving the discounted rate. The group rate will be available for up to three days prior to, and three days following, the conference dates.

To make a reservation on-line, go to (www.nwhotelandconferencecenter.com):

  • Select “BOOK TODAY.” IGNORE ANY BLACK-OUT DATES.
  • Select your “Arrival Date” and the “Number of Nights.” Do NOT select an “Accommodation” yet or you will not get our group rate.
  • Enter “Group ID” number 363277, and click “CHECK NOW” to open a listing of available rooms.
  • Select a room type from the “ROOM AVAILABILITY” listing and “BOOK NOW” to complete your reservation.

The cutoff date for guaranteed reservations will be May 12, 2025. While guests may be able to reserve rooms after this date, the hotel cannot guarantee either room availability or the group rate after that date. If rooms are not available, the conference center will make a reservation for you in an area hotel. You may, of course, choose to book a reservation at a hotel of your choice.

What if I have special needs?

Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They have seven handicap / ADA rooms available. All handicap / ADA rooms have grab bars. Some have a roll-in shower, others have a low-step shower. If you need a handicap / ADA-compliant room, you must make that request at the time you make your reservation and should be explicit about your needs as the available rooms vary.

Are there additional charges if I bring a guest who won’t be attending the conference?

All hotel guests will receive the complimentary breakfast. Non-conference registered guests may purchase one of both buffet lunches on Friday and Saturday. Separate fees apply for the German Village tour, Friday evening PalAm anniversary German dinner, and Saturday evening IGGP anniversary celebration.

What if I need to cancel my reservation?

Cancellations must be made by 3 pm ET the day prior to arrival to avoid a charge of one night’s room and tax.
