Isn’t that area near the OSU campus?
No, and OSU is on the other side of I-71 with few east-west cross streets.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at East Hudson and I-71 (see Crew Stadium on the map) many times while going to the Ohio State Fair. I do not know what E. Hudson is like going further east.
