Take your best route to Interstate 77 ("I-77") in Ohio, and head for North Canton (located in Stark County).
Take I-77 South to Exit 111 (Canal Fulton/Portage Road). Turn right at the light at the bottom of the exit. Go to the far left lane and continue into the far left turning lane at the first light. This will put you on Strip Avenue. Turn left and continue through five traffic lights. Just after the fifth light (Dressler Road) there is a small street to the left called Metro Circle. Turn to the left here, and the hotel is on the left. (There is a large WCCV sign with a smaller Four Points Sheraton sign at the road.)
Take I-77 North to exit 109A (Belden Village). The exit will turn into Belden Village Street. Go straight through two traffic lights and turn right at the third light (Dressler Road). Go through three lights. After the third light there is a small street to the right called Metro Circle. Turn right here, and the hotel is on the left. (At this street there is a large WCCV sign with a small Four Points Sheraton sign.)
The nearest airport is the Akron-Canton Regional Airport (code CAK, 10 minutes from event site). Although it is not large, it sometimes can be cheaper to fly into than the larger (but more distant) Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (code CLE, 60 minutes from event site).
