Property was very clean and seemed good. Little dated but was a good hotel. Too close to the highway for me. I would recommend this hotel.

Fabulous motel. Great, family-owned business. Room was clean, extremely comfortable, and the customer service was great. Wound up booking an extra night just because my first was so great. Tons of TV channels. and the on-site laundry is so convenient. I will definitely be back.

Very affordable, little, family-run hotel. Nothing fancy but it was clean, quiet, and everything worked. Very close to Ohio U campus, great spot for dropping off, visiting, or picking up your student.

Some pretty good stuff, they had a smartTV which is very rare even for more expensive hotels. The bed was nice and firm which is a big plus for me. Cleanliness was ok and the provided soap didn't work very well, cracked very easily.

Great place to stay on your way passing through
I stay here several times and it’s recently been renovated with new paint and furniture. Working refrigerator and microwave. I found the mattress and sheets to be very comfortable. I slept quite well. It is next to a busy road so there is the expected traffic noise. The owners were so kind and helpful. Close to restaurants. As an overnight stay on my travel through, I highly recommend it. Great value for the price.

Indian owners are a no go for me
They let themselves into my room while I was gone. Then lied about it. Didn’t do any housekeeping. They were just snooping around for no reason. They saw that I was a smoker and wanted to make sure I wasn’t smoking in the room. I had a chair and ashtray sitting outside.

This location is family owned. The staff were all very friendly. Our room was a pleasant surprise! We weren’t sure what to expect due to the low price, however, it was a great relief to have a nice, clean and comfortable room to stay in. We will DEFINITELY stay here again!
