The Westin is the coolest most fancy pants hotel Ever and will be beautiful for the holidays, on the other end of the spectrum the Varsity Inn on olentangy is a dive but safe and inexpensive, walking distance to all the cool spots in grand view and a cheap uber to anything downtown,campus or short north
There are a ton of places to stay in the brewery district, short north, arena district, and other areas around downtown. If you want something a little more affordable and don't mind a short drive there are easy over 1000 options all along the 270 outerbelt. My suggestion would be to try a booking website and/Or Groupon for discounts in the area.
Many great options.
As might be expected, hotels close to a downtown are going to be more expensive than those farther out, but to find the least expensive possible hotel would only be a 20 minute drive at most. If price is not so significant, there are mid-level hotels closer and high-end within what some people would consider walking distance in good weather.
Yes there are several close to Shadowbox Live
