Everything was ok. Appeared clean on the surface but if you looked closely, our room wasn’t very clean. Crumbs and trash around the edges, hairs in the bathroom, just clean enough to not complain. The worst was when I ordered a cold brew coffee at the little “Starbucks” area by the bar and my normal $5 drink was $8!!! Insane. And before handing it to me, she kindly cleaned my drink lid with a gross, wet, dirty rag. Yuck. I ended up not even drinking it because who knows what else was cleaned with that rag.

We were placed in a room that had, according to the check in clerk, that was just remodeled. The bathroom sink would not drain. A maintenance man came but could not fix it and the hotel had us moved to another room which according to the manager, was just renovated and we wentre the first occupants. The bathroom sink drain was not installed properly and the bathroom sink flooded due to this. We were again given another room which was an upgrade to a suite for our second night stay. All in all it was two moves one on Friday and another on Saturday.

I would rather share images. The room smelled horrible every time the air ran. The vent was disgusting. If you looked at the room from the door, it was clean. When you started moving around the room it you could easily find overlooked areas. Fingerprints on the vinyl desk chair. Spots in the bathroom by the light switch, mirror and vanity leg. Outside steps rusty and in need of repair.

Was told we were given a remodeled room in building C. What they should have said was that it is in the process of being remodeled- literally during our stay. When we walked in, the light-switch didn’t turn on any lights. We had to plug in the microwave to use it and learned that the main light switch at the door was turning the power on/off to the microwave which randomly beeped until we unplugged it. The bedding was stiff and scratchy. It felt very cheap. Hotel bedding should be soft and comfortable. The bathroom had no bar soap, no toiletries for the sink or shower, we had to call for some. There was also loud construction (saw or drill) early Sunday morning going on down the other hallway. The entrance was in the back of the building with dumpsters overflowing. $300, what a huge disappointment.

We stayed here for two while we were moving our son into Ohio University. The hotel was perfect. We felt like we fit right in with other guests and staff members, almost like home. There were always people in the lobby sitting area chatting and laughing. We had an amazing dinner at the pub, and breakfast at the restaurant, both which delivered on great service. The hotel is definitely old, but clean and charming. Our room was comfortable, and we slept well. I would recommend having king size pillows instead of standard size ones for the king size bed we slept in. They weren’t quite big enough. We will definitely stay here again while visiting our son.

Everything about our experience was good. My only complaint is about their lack of awareness concerning our planet. As an institution affiliated with the university, I would have expected them to be leaders in recycling, in energy conservation, in education, in sustainability, but there was no evidence at all of an awareness of these issues.

The hotel is in poor condition. Needs updated. So much dirt around edges of bathroom floor. The entire property is poorly maintained, needs cleaned, repaired, updated, etc. No information from front desk attendant about room service or restaurant hours or local places that deliver...there was also no information in the room. We specifically asked about the most affordable transportation...he specified Lyft...only for us to later find out they charged 3 times more than Uber would have! The first time we went to the room...the key cards hadn't been activated and I had to hike all the way back to the front desk to ask for them to be activated. Just an overall poor experience. Not worth the money!
