Overnight stay

The stay was just over night while visiting Nelsonville, Stuarts Opera House for music. We had our dog with us, he was treated with some prizes at check in and a treat for breakfast before we checked out. It was a very enjoyable stay. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Weekend visit to OU

The location is perfect for visiting OU and I love having the restaurant and bar on site. The rooms are clean but I find the beds to be quite hard and uncomfortable. We were there for 2 nights and didn't have hot water for showers either morning.

The fire pit area outside is enjoyable. It's not walkable surrounding the area; a shuttle service to OU would be appreciated but they noted a city bus stop is across from the property.
