I really would like to give this place a better rating but just can't. The pics online are nowhere near reality, making it seem like the rooms are both larger and cleaner than they are. Our first room was dirty and smelled very musty because of the window-unit air conditioner running. We asked to be moved to another room and the staff was incredibly gracious and helpful. The second room they moved us to, however, was just as dirty and musty. We ended up not staying there and having to book somewhere else last-minute.

TLDR: Friendly and accommodating staff, unclean rooms, online pictures not close to actual situation.

I was looking for a one night stay. Accidentally booked the wrong day. Neither hotels.com or Butler in could just change it so they had to cancel it and I had to rebook it online. There was a language barrier at the motel. We get in the room and there was no chain or secondary way to lock the door. Hair in the bathroom, and when you poured something in the sink part of it came out of the pipe and onto the floor. Very little water pressure. The air conditioning was great though. For under 100.00 it was ok. Need to concentrate more on maintenance instead of decor.

It served its purpose as a place to stay near the campus of Miami University and allowed our dog to come for an extra $20 / night pet fee. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was clean. It took us 2 minutes to drive to the campus and see our son. Per friendly was our best concern and this place allowed us to take our dog and be near campus so we did not waste time drive back and forth from the hotel to campus. I'll stay here again for the price.

I love this style of motel. The rooms are nicely decorated and a good size. The room comes with a decent-sized mini fridge, microwave, single-serve coffee machine with coffee, a table and chair, and an accent chair. The walls were clean and the flooring is vinyl. Lots of pillows! Great room rate.

The mattresses were very squishy, almost like they might be old or worn out. A little more attention to cleaning hairs from the bathroom would also be nice, and the bathroom could use some minor cosmetic repairs.

The location is good. Just a couple miles or less to Miami U. The incense shops down the street is nice. Walmart is jsut a bit further than that.

You can hear your neighbors having normal conversations in the next room, which is pretty typical for this style and age of motel. There’s also a fair amount of foot and car noise since you pull right up outside the door. People should remember to be considerate of their neighbors.

The room has a heater/AC combo unit. When we used the heat, the air smelled damp and unpleasant, like a filter might need to be cleaned or replaced. Or the unit just serviced. Its a fixable smell with routine maintenance.

The guy checking me in was nice. His accent was a bit thick, but he was very helpful and even gave us a couple of waters.

Overall, I would stay here again.

I originally was going to call this review \"This Pig Needs More Lipstick\". The website claimed that it had been recently refurbished. The reviews claimed it was nicely redone & clean. HOWEVER. I am now calling this review Bait & Switch.

We booked a King room. When we checked in, the clerk said \"I see you booked a King room\". We said yes. We were then given a room with two queens. This would have been fine if the motel was completely full. It wasn't.

We went to our room & - it looked as if they put in vinyl flooring and slapped some paint on the walls. Our bed was old. The blanket had holes in it. The bathroom was tiny & had not been upgraded - unless you count the tape that they put around the tub instead of grout. There was no drain cover in the tub. The tub was actually below floor level. The sink was a pedestal sink with nowhere to put your toiletries. The toilet was so close to the wall, you had to lean out of the way to get to the toilet paper.

After we checked out (a day early I might add), we looked it up on their website. The website describes it as \"A perfect fusion of comfort & elegance\" & \"Lavish Getaway a blend of Comfort & Style\". Ummmm. No. The pictures are nowhere close to what it actually looks like. I do not know where those rooms were but they were not where we were.

I advise you to avoid this motel. We definitely will not be back.

Our room was awful - Uncomfortable beds, seriously in need of a more thorough cleaning. Maintenance (or lack of) was almost laughable. It looked like they used tape instead of caulk around the tub, and the sink was dangerously close to pulling out of the wall (with no pedestal underneath) and they had used a piece of a 2x4 board to prop it up. If someone bumped the the 2x4, the sink could end up crashing down on thier feet. We told the manager about it and we just got \"I'm sorry.\"

The Inn has improved since we last stayed in it 7-8 years ago, but it still is a 2.5 - 3 Star hotel with no amenities. There was a very strong odor, such that we kept the door open for several minutes despite it being very cold outside. There is no ice or filtered water option, but it was nice that they allowed us free ice from the gas station across the street. It was near impossible to prevent water from flowing onto the floor from the shower.

There was hair in the shower. We heard a lady screem followed by multiple cops showing up. The toilet did not flush down leaving toilet paper in the bowl. When we woke up after the first night we were greeted by bed bugs on our pillow. The hotel tried to move us to another room to resolve the issue instead of canceling our second night. Needless to say we did not stay there the second night.

I booked this hotel based on all of the positive reviews, but I think a lot of them are misleading.

This is most definitely a motel. It is a renovated, updated, and clean motel, but a cheap motel for sure. Google has this listed as a 3-star hotel, which can't be true. The room was clean and updated, but the room door did not feel secure or fully sealed, and the AC was extremely loud. The bathroom was the least updated with the tub being stained and old. There was also no soap in the bathroom, just shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. I'm sure I could have asked for soap because the hotel owner was very kind, but that doesn't feel like something I should have to ask for.
The price reflects what you get, a cheap motel, but a clean one with updated flooring.

Fine for the price

This is definitely a lesson in you get what you pay for. It is a renovated motel and by renovated I mean they basically just purchased cheap new materials/paint to cover up what was there before. It definitely isn’t a hotel. The pictures online look a lot nicer than it was and I’m really not sure how it got so many 5 star reviews (the reason I decided to give it a chance). I could see daylight through the door cracks so it didn’t seem super secure. There was hair in the bathroom tub and what looked like mold near the ceiling. The bathroom sink also didn’t drain. The floor laminate was buckling in some places and the main room and bathroom could really use a new coat of paint. The people running the place were very nice so that was the best thing going for the place. Overall, fine considering the price and the fact that is so close to Miami U (5 min drive) but I probably wouldn’t stay there again.
