A great place to stay in Hocking county, Ohio. Many students gain practice in the hospitality field at the Lodge. All were friendly and helpful. A breakfast is held in the lobby each morning. Beds were comfortable and the stall shower was great.

A/c was good and room was very clean. Rooms are a little small and sink is not in the bathroom. Bed and chairs were ok. Bed was small and very soft. Breakfast was more snacks than anything else.

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was disappointing as it's pretty limited and has gone down in options since my last stay. I've been staying here for a couple years and have been happy to support the Hocking College student's training. However, given the changes in the last couple visits the value is no longer good so I will be staying somewhere else in the future.

Very clean. We used the back entrance to get to our room & there was a ripped doormat & spiders/ spider webs in the lock mechanism. People at the desk were nice but not overly helpful. Pool advertised but no pool on site... have to travel 2 miles to the college to use it. Spa on site with sauna & massage chairs... inly sauna was available & it was an extra fee which was unexpected.

Had a very enjoyable stay at the Lodge at Hocking College. Loved the location and view of the cornfield next door. The front desk personnel were friendly, efficient, and informative. My room was very nice. It was quiet and I slept well. Very glad to have stayed there.

The lodge was located in a very quiet and rural area. The staff members were kind and having the bar on site with a great bartender added to our weekend fun! There aren’t many bells and whistles,m at the lodge, and the outside patio area was under construction, but if you’re not going to spend a lot of time in your room during the day, it was a great place to relax for the evening!

There was water damage at the base of the shower. The mattress was definitely too soft and broken in. The hall smelled like mildew. The staff was very nice. The t.v. reception was horrible.

Not a lot to do in the area where the lodge is located. Keep that in mind if you’re going to explore Hocking Hills as it’s about a 30 minute commute.

Everything is very dated. The shower curtain was so small it did not fit the width of the shower. As a result water became a problem very quickly. There was no chair in the room for the desk. This made working a little more difficult. The front desk staff is fantastic.

On a property shared with the local college and maintained by students. One half of the property faces the hills and corn field- beautiful; the other half is up against trade school utilities- slightly run down. The lodge has a Beautiful entrance with fireplace and welcoming ambience. Small intimate bar with a wonderful server! Check in easy. Rooms are SIMPLE. Some unique properties- bed is made out of local wood. Pillows - bring your own. Clean bath and floors. Towels had a strange odor and so did the atrium- definitely wasn’t the water. Breakfast was simple but well stocked. Overall, great affordable place to stay, but if you are looking for elaborate and pristine, look elsewhere. But I will be back for sure!
