Everything was clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Property does need to be updated. Flooring definitely needs replaced in rooms and it’s never a good idea for wallpaper in the shower area. Overall no major complaints that would keep us from staying here in the future. BBQ restaurant next door and Avalanche pizza down the street are both very good.

Hotel is $75 a night value more so than the $220. Dated and old amenities. Cheaper for the area but I will spend the money next time even for a shorter time .

They do not accept chime cards or any type of “pre paid” such as green dot, hr block. Even though you can use that card through hotels you won’t be able to use for incidentals or use cash.

Matt was professional and kind. He was quick to assist me with an issue regarding the room.

More specifically, my first room wasn't very clean, hair and debris was in the bathroom. I got a second room, it was cleaner but the fridge defrosted overnight, so I woke up to water on the floor of the room. When I spoke to a lady at the front desk that morning she said that was typical. She was nonchalant so I presumed it really was a regular occurence. Nevertheless that amount of defrosting in a fridge seemed excessive. I threw out my food which was no longer cold, in an abundance of caution.

What was nicer than most quality inn choice owns them This is. Why if you have small children that I like to swim and has a beautiful pool in a hot tub and it’s all wood high ceilings it’s actually a very unique hotel and right next to it is a Bob Evans with walkway a to get there. Check out the Bench out back wildlife …. It’s nice hotel

Our room was ready when we checked in, always a plus. The employee who checked us in was very friendly and showed us on a map the best place to park. Our room had a bit of a smell to it, a lot like a pool room - not dirty or musty, just not fresh and crisp. We didn’t swim but the pool looked really nice and well kept. Breakfast each day was pretty good, waffles, a breakfast meat, scrambled eggs, selection of breads, yogurts, hot and cold cereals. The tv was older and it glitched on the sound every 30 seconds and we ran out of shampoo the first evening, so it hadn’t been filled prior to our check in. Super convenient location to everything we needed (restaurants, grocery stores, Hocking Hills, Columbus) and had a great sized fridge and a microwave. All staff we encountered were friendly, ice machine in working order, laundry facility and gym were nice as well.

The check in staff asked for my credit card and then told me it didn't match the booking (because I booked through a 3rd party so it showed up as a virtual card). I showed him my card and assured him that it was the card used to book the room online. He wrote the numbers down on a sheet of paper (huge risk for fraud/scamming).

There was no elevator. The pool had no towels. When I asked the front desk for towels I received an attitude and he said they were low on towels......okay, this is not my problem and towels need to be provided. He handed me one towel. Just one.

The stairway smells musty, there was something goopy on the handrail. The flooring upstairs was awful. The plank flooring was warped and lifting in numerous places. Once in the room, we heard and felt kids running up and down the hallway playing. I waited a few minutes then had to open the door and ask them to stop because it shook the whole floor not to mention how loud they were yelling.

Breakfast the next morning was the only good thing. The waffle mix was empty but more was brought out after I asked.

Drive a little further and stay somewhere better. This one is rundown and sketchy.

The room was very clean, and the breakfast was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made for a positive experience overall.

That said, this is an older hotel that could really benefit from renovations. It does seem like they are making some efforts, particularly with the flooring, which is appreciated.

The pool itself was in good condition, but the hot tub appeared quite dirty. It may have been rust stains from the pipes above, but regardless, it didn’t give a clean impression. The entire pool area is in need of a full renovation.

The fitness room looked nice at first glance, but unfortunately the treadmill was not functioning properly. It would turn on, but once a speed was selected, it could not be adjusted. This is a safety concern and should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

With that said for an overnight stay it was very worth the price.

While they have recently renewed flooring in halls and rooms, overall general condition is average. Beds comfortable and everything worked as expected.

Being a college town with several other hotels in the area, they are average, compared to Hampton and Holiday Inn for example. In town for Ohio basketball game and while they all inflate rates when they can, the price while reasonable compared to others, still not justified. Breakfast ended at 9:30 on a weekend, prefer 10 or 10:30, especially after a late night game. It’s a room, OK, but more expensive that it should be.

Check in and parking were both easy. My husband is in a wheelchair because he just had surgery and the hotel was not very wheelchair accessible. We struggled to get into the lobby to check in and we were put in a room where our parking lot entrance had no ramp to get him in and out. I had to pick up the wheelchair onto the sidewalk, which wasn’t ideal. Other than that we had a good stay. The room was clean and comfortable, working ac and heat. There is a gym and a washer and dryer on site as well as an indoor pool (we didn’t utilize any of these)

Not very quiet-all composite floors lot of noise bouncing off the walls. If your room is near the doors- they are self closing and slam shut, you can feel the vibration from it. I believe you can hear the doors close from one end of the hallway to the other. If you have a spa tub a 15 minute timer is annoying, pretty much ruins having it. No bathroom exhaust fan. Room was clean and spacious. Breakfast is OK, they do have 24 hr. coffee and juice (orange/apple).
