The Blue Jackets inside sales rep contacted us, with a list of available places to stay, eat and drink, and we thought it was a wonderful extra step that they took. The arena district is outstanding, make sure to head down early 4:30 before a 7 game, as it fills up. We stayed at the lofts, the crown plaza and hyatt are both only a block away, but the lofts offered a different experience I would recommend to anyone.
