I was happy with my stay. I had really hoped the room would have been updated especially with how beautiful the exterior of the hotel was. Swimming pool open 24 hours which was cool!

Positives: The exterior of the hotel is beautiful.

Negatives: Our room was in dire need of an update. The room had an 80's look and smelled musty.

An excellent facility that I am happy to be a repeat guest at. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the amenities are quite nice. The breakfast provided has a nice selection however some fresh fruit would be appreciated. Though I didn't have opportunity to use them this trip the pool and exercise room are nice and available 24 hours.

Positives: Extremely friendly staff especially April in the breakfast room.

Negatives: I would normally request a nonsmoking room as this particular room was extremely smelly.

Positives: Clean and nice pillows and sheets/towels.

Negatives: Lots of kids at the time I stayed at youth group or basketball tournament so it was very noisy.

I did not appreciate smelling cigarette smoke every time the bathroom fan was on. It is not controlled inside room. I asked the desk about it and the lady said it is a problem with 2nd floor with the smoking floor above. The manager lied to me when she said it was the 1st she has ever heard the problem. I am allergic to smoke and was put in a non smoking room. If you have a similar problem book only on 1st floor and hope for the best. The bathroom vents mix all bathroom air smoking and nonsmoking. This is a very bad HVAC idea for a motel. I never want to stay there again. I am in hotels 50+ days/year.

Positives: Very clean.

Negatives: I did not care for smelling cigarette smoke in bathroom.

Positives: I loved the decor, the area, the continental breakfast, and the hot tub.

We rented two rooms at this hotel last weekend. The king size room was non-smoking and very comfortable. The other room was two queen beds in a smoking room. The smell was bad, but the room was nice. We bought a glade oil plug-in, and that fixed it! Our stay was great, and the staff was really nice.

Positives: Close to state park.

Negatives: Small breakfast buffet.

The rooms were clean as were all the common areas. The whole inn appeared well kept and it was quiet. The front desk staff I interacted with were cordial and helpful. Mini-fridges and microwaves are an extra charge if you want them. I found the beds a little too soft, but I slept well nonetheless. The morning breakfast (6:30-9:30 am) is excellent! The swimming pool and whirlpool are available 24 hours with your room key card, but the pool is small--don't expect to swim laps. Off the pool there's a patio with chairs. In the evening, complimentary cookies are available to guests at the front desk. There is a coin-operated guest laundry. The rooms contain a coffee maker, iron, and ironing board, clock radio, two telephones, a data port, two chairs and a table, and a thermostat for controlling the air conditioning so you get the exact temperature you want. Television reception, including free HBO, is excellent. Shampoo and hair conditioner are provided along with bath soap. The lobby has a small seating area with comfortable chairs and a computer for guests to access the Internet. The Inn is directly across the street from the Hocking Hills Welcome Center and within a short, easy drive of a shopping center, canoe rental business, and the locally revered Old Dutch Restaurant. The inn does not have any food service or a bar/lounge. The Inn is near all the major natural attractions within the Hocking Hills, but you have to drive to them all. I would stay here again at the Internet rate, but neither the rack nor telephone-quoted rate. An AmeriHost Inn is also nearby that is a few dollars cheaper, so you might want to check it out, too. I will if I return to the area.

Positives: Clean, quiet, well-maintained, great breakfast, good location.

Negatives: Tiny swimming pool, no food service or bar/lounge, no public transportation.
