Very nice.

The area felt very safe and welcoming. We enjoyed seeing the farmer plowing the field next to the parking lot. Room was very clean and nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable, but mattress was just a tad soft. Breakfast had no gluten free options for my wife. We really didn't expect any as it was stated to be a continental breakfast and were able to eat at a nearby diner. Our grandson goes to school there, and we wil definitely stay there again when we visit him.

My stay at the Lodge was good. The room was clean and efficient. Everything in the room worked. People were friendly and helpful. This is run by the local college to give the students an opportunity to see what it really takes to run a hotel. I would stay there again if needed.

Only meh

It was a very basic hotel. Bare minimum amenities. (Also, there is no spa). The pictures were deceiving, they looked like the hotel is very up-to-date, but you can tell it is not. A little rundown. Mostly clean. However, when I stripped my bed before check out for the cleaning staff, there was a blood stain on the mattress.

We waited for 30 minutes at the front desk to check in, and finally someone showed up with no shoes on. On the 2nd night, our room key cards stopped working, and when we went to the front desk to mitigate our problem, the attendant just asked us for our room number and gave us new cards without even asking our name, which seems awfully unsafe. Also, the bed was awful and sunk down in the middle so we ended up gravitating down to the center. Clean, but definitely not comfortable. Bathroom “door” didn’t shut all the way or latch for any privacy either.

Very clean. Nice rooms. Bar and fireplace in lobby. Close to Hocking Hills. We checked in late and was initially told our room was not guaranteed which shocked me because I had paid. It was resolved and the rest of the stay was pleasant.

The Lodge is located right on the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway, which was the reason we were in the area. The facility is very nice. The staff, made up of students, were efficient, but not very outgoing. Our room had a dirty washcloth still hanging on the shower, and a shirt that was left from the previous occupant (which we took to the front desk). We didn't have hand towels until our second night. Sunday morning we woke to a fire alarm, which was then turned off in the guest room area, however it continued to buzz for hours - the firemen were unable to disengage it in the lobby. The breakfast that morning was basically non-existent - there was coffee and watered down waffle mix and granola bars that all had nuts in them. Nothing else. No cereal, milk or yogurt that had been available on Saturday. They needed 3 outlets (microwave, waffle maker, cooler) but only had 2, so the microwave wasn't available. Breakfast is from 6:30am-11, which is checkout, so that was nice. They have a bar on the weekends, however dirty wine glasses and beer cans were still on the tables Saturday morning during breakfast. That is unacceptable because it is in the same room as the check-in desk.
