My stay at the Lodge was good. The room was clean and efficient. Everything in the room worked. People were friendly and helpful. This is run by the local college to give the students an opportunity to see what it really takes to run a hotel. I would stay there again if needed.

Very well stocked bar for a small place but only open a few nights, fire alarm was going off due to the waffle maker in the lobby but everything within the lodge's control was very well done, better than most hotels.

Picked this hotel due to its proximity to Hocking Hills and the cute pictures on the website. Other than it’s cleanliness, nothing else positive to say. Booked a standard room with 1 queen bed but got a room with two double beds. The bar they advertise…closed. Spa…closed. “Breakfast included” - a few granola bars and pre-packaged muffins. After making them aware that the coffee was empty and waiting 20min for more to be brewed, we were finally given coffee that had more coffee grinds than liquid. For $177/night, we expected more.

The hotel felt like a ghost down. Had an bar in the lobby that wasnt open, and had an beautiful patio( with fire pits) that had lights off at night. Felt like these things would've added a positive vibe to the experience. Hotel breakfast felt very limited on options. Bathroom barn door doesnt close all the way( had a inch gape between wall and door ). Besides these things the sat was On the bright side. Beds are comforble. Shower had good water pressure, large screen t.v. with cable. Fridge and microwave on room

Very clean. Nice rooms. Bar and fireplace in lobby. Close to Hocking Hills. We checked in late and was initially told our room was not guaranteed which shocked me because I had paid. It was resolved and the rest of the stay was pleasant.
