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.

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.

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.

This location is family owned. The staff were all very friendly. Our room was a pleasant surprise! We weren’t sure what to expect due to the low price, however, it was a great relief to have a nice, clean and comfortable room to stay in. We will DEFINITELY stay here again!
