High St., Columbus, OH 43085 (This is the same hotel as last year--only the name has changed!) Please visit the Morphicon 2008 hotel's website. The Holiday Inn Columbus-Worthington features a large amount of convention space, an indoor pool, a fitness center, comfortable rooms, and free parking. Room Reservations Ohio Morphicon has a secured a block of double-queen rooms for $99/night, all newly renovated. To reserve a room, call the hotel directly at 614-436-0700, or fax them at 614-436-1208. You may also call the central reservations at 1-888-HOLIDAY (465-4329.) Whichever route you go, you must ask for the Morphicon room rate (room block code is MO515). If you make reservations via the Holiday Inn webpage, use Group ID Code: M80 when choosing your dates. The room rate is guaranteed only through May 1st. Please plan ahead and reserve your room early. As it was last year, our room block is again contiguous--but having a room where everyone else is located will depend on how quickly the room block fills up (and therefore, on how soon you reserve your room). The room check-in time is at 4 pm, but if a room is available before this time (not guaranteed) the Holiday Inn will be happy to check you in early. Our discussion group page has more information for those looking for ride and room share.

Driving Directions The Holiday Inn Columbus-Worthingon is located just off of the North side of the I-270 loop that goes around Columbus. It's very easy to locate. If you're coming in from the North on I-71, turn onto I-270 West at exit 119B. If you're coming in from the East or West on I-70, turn North onto I-71 at exit 101A, then turn onto I-270 West at exit 119 (be sure to take the left fork to get onto West). If you're coming in from the South on I-71, don't turn onto I-270 the first time you see it--this is the South side of I-270. Continue on I-71 straight through Columbus until you reach the North side of I-270. Turn onto I-270 West here at exit 119 (be sure to take the left fork to get onto West). Once you're on I-270 West, the next exit should be US-23 South (High Street). Take US-23 South and merge onto High Street. The Holiday Inn Columbus-Worthingon is just a block ahead, on the right. Or, check Mapquest for more specific directions. The directions above are simplest, but you might shave a few minutes off of your schedule with a more detailed route.
