Very affordable, little, family-run hotel. Nothing fancy but it was clean, quiet, and everything worked. Very close to Ohio U campus, great spot for dropping off, visiting, or picking up your student.

Indian owners are a no go for me

They let themselves into my room while I was gone. Then lied about it. Didn’t do any housekeeping. They were just snooping around for no reason. They saw that I was a smoker and wanted to make sure I wasn’t smoking in the room. I had a chair and ashtray sitting outside.

Some pretty good stuff, they had a smartTV which is very rare even for more expensive hotels. The bed was nice and firm which is a big plus for me. Cleanliness was ok and the provided soap didn't work very well, cracked very easily.
