Excellent place to stay near Hocking hills

The check in and stay was smooth. The room was quaint but very clean. We stayed here to visit Hocking hills state Park, and this place was very convenient.

nice, reasonably priced place to stay

This is really a nice facility. New, clean, comfortable, and easily accessible to Nelsonville and also (with an 18 min. drive) from Athens. The rooms are a little dark (they could use some extra lamps), but that's honestly our only issue. The hotel is a great value and we'll stay there again.

It's okay

As a hotel it is ok. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot, however, the pressure left much to be desired. The sink is outside the bathroom with only a small oval mirror, so bring a separate mirror for makeup. There was a table with the coffee maker on it but there were no chairs or a work space. There was an empty pop bottle underneath one of the beds, and all of the fixtures for towels and toilet paper were all lose and threatening to fall off.

It was ok but probably won’t stay again.

Very nice place to stay. Not really a lodge. Bar was not open and there is nothing around for dinner options.
