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.

Excellent value for the money and a great location for our travels -- perfect for exploring the area. The room was very spacious but the queen bed was saggy in the middle. It had poured right before we arrived and it was very humid the next morning so we were not able to take advantage of lovely outdoor seating area.
