It really depends on how much you want to spend. I stayed at the Homewood suites (79.00 a night) just outside the main enterance to CMH airport. There are cheaper places to stay but I wanted the hilton points!! There are a few places cheaper like Candlewood suites for like 40 a night. I would guess almost half my class stayed there. EJA has some rates set up with a few hotels and the list should be included in your welcome package. Dont forget to join every airline and hotel FF program so you can start getting the points. (If your not in them already)
Candlewood Suites
If you want a nice place for a reasonable price that's close to the airport, go to the Candlewood ($49). I don't think you need to worry about accumulating points, you will have plenty of time to accumulate once your on line. If you happen to be going right into a/c training and EJA puts you up at the Candlewood you may be eligible for a tax refund. If you stay at the same place in Oh for 30 nights or more you get almost all of the taxes back. That's what I did and got around $150 back.
If you are looking to save money go to the Extended Stay which is $32.50 a night. Not quite as nice and a little further away but cheaper.
I just got home from indoc so let me know if you have any other questions.

Hotels
If you are looking for points then the Towneplace suites by marriott is an option. It is the same as Candlewood (49) and will get you some points. The rooms have a full kitchen, couch, everything you need to eat cheaply in your room. A lot of my class stayed at the candlewood, not sure why it was so attractive.

Can you post a brief synopsis of basic indoc? How long does it last for starters? How many nights are we talking about?
And then when you go for type training the company pays hotel and perdiem? I'm getting an Ultra type at Flight Safety in CMH and I've got this vision of 2 weeks at Motel 6 at my expense, followed by another 2 weeks also in Columbus at theirs?
Where's that Extended Stay? That's a Motel-6 budget.

Indoc
Indoc is two weeks (m-f only) So you end up staying about 12 nights from the Sunday before it starts until the following Friday. Unless you can go home for the weekend then I guess you are stuck in CMH. Right now some people are doing indoc after simulator and some do it after, just depends on the scheduling. IF you do your sim in CMH then the company will pay your PerDiem and hotel for that 2 weeks. There are several hotels they use, they all seem like nice hotels from what I have seen. I also had to rent a car because I flew in, no way I could drive from the West coast to go to indoc.

I stayed at the extended stay on stelzer. It was great right next to easton a great place to party. It was cheap and clean. I didn't know about hotel points when I did it but it only took me 5 months to make diamond at hilton, platinum at starwood, and platinum at hyatt.
I would recomend the extended stay if you have a car, easton is a great place for a beer and a nice relaxing time during indoc.
It also has a walmart across the street for any supplies you need.
It is definetly my first choice and i was glad i stayed there.
I also stayed there for 6 weeks.
I might have chosen the hilton homewood suites IN easton but i think my liver would have rejected it. Both are great check the prices though

Diesel, Ease up , would you please? What are you, the company hard _ss? If your not, you should apply and make it official. And since your so vocal (and negative) throughout this forum, then you should do us all a favor (most importantly for yourself and the company) and seriously consider improving your grammar and writing skills, either with some formal education or, if you are educated past the high school level, then start showing it by writing more carefully and/or proof reading your submissions before you send them. Please do something, Diesel! You are an embarrassment, especially since you are an IOE CA. I just hope you speak more clearly then you write.

Interesting post, makes me laugh actually. I have never been a hardass actually i'm one of the easiest going people around.
So what in that last post makes me a hardass, because my liver wouldn't let me stay at the homewood suites.
Or maybe because i don't think that the FSI deal and eja was a good one.
Yeah i know my grammar sucks but it's usually because i've put in a 14 hr day on the road and fire this computer up to help people to get jobs.
OH it must have been the post where i talked about the different hotels that have things to do around them.
You can ask anyone on this boards i've posted a lot on help to come to the company.
If you are referring to JP11's and mine posts, we have been best friends for a looooooooooonnnnnggggg time.
So feel free to write me an email off this post if you want to take it further. I'm more than happy to oblidge.
It looks like your the one who has embarrassed himself. Sure I'm an IOE Capt but that's because I help people not just go off spouting and yelling at them for no reason.
Oh the education comment was a low blow.
