Hey ron, do u know of any hotels that are giving special rates for the arnold?

[Ron]

I am pretty sure that all Arnold hotels in downtown Columbus are sold out as of now, but you can still get deals in outskirt hotels all over the city, if you have a car to get to the convention center and Veteran's Auditorium.

I also know that within the week of the Arnold Classic, some people cancel their rooms, and a few open up, so always call and ask the hotels on that.  I got lucky one year when that occurred at the Hyatt.
