Property was very clean and seemed good. Little dated but was a good hotel. Too close to the highway for me. I would recommend this hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was very kind. Only problems was the bathroom shower curtain was stained and the surrounding guests either smoking or being noisy. Otherwise a amazing experience for $65 bucks.
Renovated room. Extremely bright and clean. Bed is very comfortable. Linens are fresh and new. Third time I have stayed here. Will stay again If I am in the area.
Very affordable, little, family-run hotel. Nothing fancy but it was clean, quiet, and everything worked. Very close to Ohio U campus, great spot for dropping off, visiting, or picking up your student.
They let themselves into my room while I was gone. Then lied about it. Didn’t do any housekeeping. They were just snooping around for no reason. They saw that I was a smoker and wanted to make sure I wasn’t smoking in the room. I had a chair and ashtray sitting outside.
Some pretty good stuff, they had a smartTV which is very rare even for more expensive hotels. The bed was nice and firm which is a big plus for me. Cleanliness was ok and the provided soap didn't work very well, cracked very easily.
I stay here several times and it’s recently been renovated with new paint and furniture. Working refrigerator and microwave. I found the mattress and sheets to be very comfortable. I slept quite well. It is next to a busy road so there is the expected traffic noise. The owners were so kind and helpful. Close to restaurants. As an overnight stay on my travel through, I highly recommend it. Great value for the price.
