Visit to Oberlin Collegr
Pros:

Excellent hotel. Very friendly staff. Very pleasant room. Restaurant was good, but not exceptional. Location, location, location -- couldn't be better for a "school visit" with my grandson.

Cons:

Nothing!

Overpriced and inhospitable
Pros:

The hotel is lovely and the rooms were very clean and nice. That said, when our flight home to New York was canceled due to an impending blizzard and we had to cut our trip short and drive home to beat the storm, we asked for a refund on the night we didn't use and were told no.

It seems cynical to me for a hotel that is twice the price of others in the area and owned by the college to not refund a room given the circumstances (thousands of canceled flights). Moreover, it was a Sunday night and the hotel was empty so it's unlikely they could have otherwise booked the room.

The restaurant staff was also strangely inattentive, especially given there were only two other tables both times we ate there--and so rude that we were laughing about it later.

We stayed one night at the Homewood Suites by Hilton - Cleveland Sheffield, OH. The room was lovely, huge, included a whole kitchen and free breakfast and was half the price. It was maybe 20 minutes from campus.

The Hotel at Oberlin wasn't worth the price just for the proximity to campus. Save your money.

Oberlin College Visit
Pros:

This is the only hotel in Oberlin. So, the choices are small. Hotel is new and the rooms are very nice and clean. Very comfortable hotel to stay at for a visit to the college. The hotel is across the street from the college-very convenient.

Thoughtful design in a boutique hotel.
Pros:

We have stayed at The Hotel at Oberlin several times and we are always impressed with the thoughtful design and attention to details. The hotel is exceptionally clean. The rooms are ultra comfortable with very comfortable beds. We had such a good night sleep, we asked what kind of mattress they use. The food at the hotel restaurant , 1833, is very good too. You will not regret your stay.

Hotel Oberlin is a Great Place to Stay
Pros:

The hotel at Oberlin is quite beautiful with a wonderful lobby that serves a great meeting place with my Oberlin student and his friends. The beds are great, firm, but not too firm. Everything is super clean, too.

Business meeting and sleeping room!
Pros:

I stayed at the hotel because we had reserved the meeting space there for business purposes. The staff was amazing, both in the hotel and the restaurant and the sales staff as well!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this stay was, even after I had to stay an extra night unexpectedly. The hotel manager and staff worked wonderfully to accommodate our group for the extra day as well!
Definitely will stay again and recommend!

Brief But Beautiful Stay at The Lovely Hotel at Oberlin
Pros:

This hotel is lovely and very smartly designed. The rooms were large and very classy. We wish we could have stayed longer. I love that the hotel does so much to be environmentally friendly.
