There’s so much to like about this property, it’s quiet, nice parking and very convenient place and they just updated their rooms a good place for a nite rest
Great value for the price. Clean. Recently renovated. Comfortable beds. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker. Friendly staff. Highway noise is manageable with fan/AC.
We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!

Property was very clean and safe but the location was remote and right next to the highway. Not a big deal but there is no way to walk to anything.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.
The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.
Fabulous motel. Great, family-owned business. Room was clean, extremely comfortable, and the customer service was great. Wound up booking an extra night just because my first was so great. Tons of TV channels. and the on-site laundry is so convenient. I will definitely be back.

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.
