Categories

Cleanliness
6
Multiple reports of dirty surfaces (desk, bathroom), cobwebs, black mold spots, musty cigarette smells in some non-smoking rooms, sticky/wet floors and concerns about bed condition — overall cleanliness is below average for this tier.
Service
8.8
Several reviewers praise friendly, professional and helpful front-desk and breakfast staff; a few reports of rude or snotty employees and an issue with an unexpected early check-in fee indicate mixed but generally strong service.
Location
8.5
Frequently noted as conveniently located near Ohio Wesleyan/OSU and town amenities; one comment called it 'middle of nowhere,' but overall location is a strength for university and town access.
Room Quality
7.8
Beds are consistently described as comfortable and showers have good pressure, but problems include noisy AC that doesn't cool well, cycling off, upstairs stomping/noise, some cigarette smell, pill-y sheets and occasional bathroom cleanliness issues.
Amenities
8.5
Breakfast amenities (including a waffle maker) and attentive attendant are highlights; pool available and sometimes private, but there are reports of rowdy children and rule-breaking at the pool which reduce this amenity's usability for some guests.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed perceptions: several guests call it excellent value for the price, while others feel the price is too high given cleanliness and maintenance issues — overall slightly below the target rating.
Food and Beverage
8.4
Breakfast repeatedly praised (good selection, fresh items, friendly attendant, waffle maker); food & beverage is a consistent positive in reviews.
Overall Experience
8.5
Many guests report pleasant stays with helpful staff and comfortable rooms for the price, though notable cleanliness problems, occasional rude staff and pool disturbances lower the experience for some — overall a positive but imperfect stay.

Pros:

Location to Ohio Weslyan and ease of access

Nothing. It was a clean hotel room, friendly staff, decent breakfast. Had a pool which we did not use, but good for families. Great value.

Nice staff, location and value!
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location. The pool is very nice.

Cons:

I wish they had water refill available all day rather than just at breakfast time. There are many hiking trails in the area and we could have filled up our water bottles rather than buy water in plastic bottles. The hot water thermos for tea was not very hot.

Nice place for a short stay especially if you are going into the city and don’t want to spend a fortune.
Pros:

Gave a Halloween treat to our nephew who stayed with us which was nice after a long roadtrip for him. Had the pool all to ourselves.

Cons:

The desk in the room was dirty when we arrived and cobwebs in several locations throughout the hotel.
