Not recommended

Housekeeping did not appear to be working. Bar advertised but only open 2 days/ week per staff. Not open Friday night. Terrible. No ice machine. No elevator. Horrible mattress. Concave. Plenty of parking.

Rooms were attractive with very basic furnishings. Good for a short stay. Good alternative to expensive Athens hotels on Ohio Univerdity big weekends. Athens is an easy 20 minute drive.

The room needed much better lighting. It was very difficult to read except right in bed next to those lamps. Also, towel bars in the bathroom would allow guests to hang up their wet towels and not need clean towels every day.

We only spent the night and did not explore the property. We were in town for a gravel cycling event at Snow Fork event center. We really liked the hotel though and commented that we need to go back to spend an entire weekend exploring. We will stay here again.
