Our stay at the Oho University Inn & Convention Center was very pleasant and affordable!
Pros:

The Inn offers nice rooms with outside patio with certain main floor rooms. Interior amenities were fine. There were all the little extras expected, like mini frig, coffee maker, desk and TV. The programing on the TV was met our needs. /the staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating. We found the restaurant and bar an especially nice addition to the other comfortable factors of the Inn. The food was very good and reasonably priced. It looked like the Inn had been recently renovated making for a clean and neat appearance.

Cons:

I was a little disappointed in the "handicap accessible" description of the room. We were on one level, but the bathroom, although it had numerous safety bars both in and out of the shower, did not present an actual walk-in shower. It was a tub with a low step-in which meant that my husband still needed assistance in entering the shower. My expectation was a walk-in or roll-in shower. Had he been in a wheel chair, we would not have been able to get him in this shower. Perhaps, a better description would have been "Limited Handicap Accessible"
Also, it would have been helpful to have a TV program chart.
