Room was very clean. Towel warmer, different shower heads in shower. Two different sink areas to get ready. Nice wooden blinds on window for privacy. Everything was in great shape.

A no go on continental breakfast

The continental breakfast was a little bit disappointing. Not very many choices on hot items. No Eggs, No Waffles, No meat available. I would think for $170 a night the continental breakfast menu would have better options available. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I believe the price for the stay is a little to high. Being very generous it would be around $120 tops a night after taxes in any other Big City. But its the only place to stay in Ada, Ohio. And used mostly by Parents visit the College or visit with kids.

I booked this hotel as it was the closest one to my destination that had decent ratings. It did not disappoint. The room was clean, spacious and professionally decorated. Check in was quick and painless. Bathroom was clean and contained all the attributes one might expect. The hotel sits adjacent to Ohio Northern’s campus which provided a site for a lovely morning walk. The only complaint would be that there was virtually no fast breakfast options at or near the hotel except for McDonald’s.

This hotel is a gem! It's located on a beautiful campus. The inn itself is clean, the rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are out of this world, and the staff is friendly! I highly recommend if you're in Ada to check it out! It's worth every penny!

Hard to find but worth the effort.

This is a bit off the interstate. Located right on the campus. Very nice room. Comfortable and clean. Staff were professional and friendly. I would definitely stay here again. Downtown is close which offered good food options.
