Location & price only positives

There was black mold on the walls and ceiling. The silly off the track, barn door for the bathroom offers little actual privacy and with no fan for the bathroom it was disappointing. On a personal note the bed was way too soft and squishy for my liking because it caused my husband and I to roll into each other all night, we struggled to get good sleep. The continental breakfast was laughable especially for someone who is lactose and gluten intolerant. We could not eat breakfast at the hotel either morning of our stay.

The 1st room we got we did a bed bug check and found shells and eggs under the bed. We went and told the people at the front desk and they were really quick to get us a new room and they let us show them where they were at. We got to the new room and checked it again and the new room was completely bed bug free. We ended up staying for the 3 nights we booked. They also gave us a huge discount for the inconvenience.

Property and room it's self was nice. Staff was kind, but easily flustered. Several hiccups and room mess ups with check in. The first room we were given has not been cleaned, we were booked for two nights, but on the second afternoon we came back to our room to find our key card didn't work. All was fixed promptly but should not have happened in the first place. Staff also not very knowledgeable of surrounding areas.

Room at Hocking college

Bed was comfortable but I felt like I rolled toward the center making it a bit difficult to get out of. The only chair in the room was uncomfortable. They need to put another chair or seating in the rooms. Bathroom was very clean and whole room was clean. Looked a little like it needed some repair to the walls and bsseboards. Internet access was okay. The continental breakfast could use a few more options like toast, bagels, fruit. The place was very quiet. I think they should tell people there is no elevator.

Give this place your business - Great Staff

We enjoyed our stay at The Lodge at Hocking College. The staff (students) were excellent. They were available, efficient, and treating everyone with respect and kindness. Breakfast was simple, but available and stocked. The lobby was a comfortable place to relax. Parking options were fantastic. We only stayed two nights so we did not need cleaning service but our requests for ice were quickly fulfilled and always with a smile. The beds are why we gave a 4. We prefer a firmer mattress and our mattress was very soft. Overall, this is a great option.

The room was beautiful, clean and updated. The bathroom was very clean as well. There were not many restaurant choices for us as the town had many restaurants that were closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We did find a few places that were open. This property offers a clean and comfortable stay at a great price. If you are looking for a " hotel with amenities", this is not the place to stay.

The property is on a college campus. It was a very nice room for the price. The only complaint was that the bed did not seem to have any support in the middle, which was a bit unconformable because it sagged a lot.
