It is a nice hotel and the staff are friendly there. The only problem I had was that there wasn’t an elevator in the building. Grant it there are only two floors. But when you have bad knees and a handicap mom it’s hard getting up and down the steps. Otherwise it’s a nice place. There is a bike/ walking path off to the side.

Nice comfortable rooms. Look newly renovated. Everything is clean and spacious. Nelsonville downtown is 5 minutes away with good dining options. Breakfast was adequate. Rates are very affordable. The surrounding area is rural with lots greenery and farms. Nice place to stay if you are visiting Hocking Hills.

Clean, friendly, good value.

I would say the theme of The Lodge is “minimalist rustic chic”. The the person who checked me in and checked me out at the front desk were extremely pleasant and helpful. There is not an elevator, so if you have mobility issues like me, make sure to request a first floor room. (My fault for not checking.)The room was neat and tidy. I did notice that the shelf in the shower that held the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was not cleaned. There were obvious soap rings from previous bottles. This gave me some pause, but the rest of the shower and bathroom seemed spic and span so I just chalked it up to a housekeeping oversight. The bed was absolutely stunning, and from what I understand, handmade by students at the college. The mattress was a bit too soft my taste, but that is personal preference. The second floor hallway where my room was had a funny odor. It smelled like lingering curry cooking odor, which I found very odd. I thought maybe someone had heated some takeout in their microwave, but the smell was just as strong in the morning. I think the hallway carpets may need a good cleaning. The stairwell leading from the outside to the second floor was filthy. The steps and landing are carpeted and they haven’t seen a vacuum in quite some time. Three of the 5 brackets holding the handrail to the wall were pulled out of the wall, creating a safety hazard. Obviously, hotel staff had not visited that stairwell in a long time. Hence the 4 stars. Free Breakfast was lame as well
