Picked this hotel due to its proximity to Hocking Hills and the cute pictures on the website. Other than it’s cleanliness, nothing else positive to say. Booked a standard room with 1 queen bed but got a room with two double beds. The bar they advertise…closed. Spa…closed. “Breakfast included” - a few granola bars and pre-packaged muffins. After making them aware that the coffee was empty and waiting 20min for more to be brewed, we were finally given coffee that had more coffee grinds than liquid. For $177/night, we expected more.

Very cool lodge

A very clean hotel. The location was good. The room was beautiful, it was a loft room with a porch. The outside patio was good and had a beautiful view. There is only one bed and we were 4 so that was a slight problem. But the main problem was that the bathroom door doesn’t close and it has a big gap so it was a little uncomfortable. But I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The hotel felt like a ghost down. Had an bar in the lobby that wasnt open, and had an beautiful patio( with fire pits) that had lights off at night. Felt like these things would've added a positive vibe to the experience. Hotel breakfast felt very limited on options. Bathroom barn door doesnt close all the way( had a inch gape between wall and door ). Besides these things the sat was On the bright side. Beds are comforble. Shower had good water pressure, large screen t.v. with cable. Fridge and microwave on room

Very nice place at a great price. Nothing fancy, but clean and a nice location. Only slight downside was that mattress was not very comfortable, but it wasn’t a big deal. The Mexican restaurant in town didn’t look all that impressive, but it was really good.
