Trip for the fall colors
I enjoyed my stay at the lodge very much. The room was clean and comfortable. The lodge is not far from Hocking Hills, where I spent most of my time. I do wish the continental breakfast had more options, it’s very simple. Think cold cereal, granola bars and a waffle maker. Fresh fruit would have been nice. I would stay here again if I’m in the area

The hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The bar wasn’t open the entire time we were there. The breakfast was very basic, muffins, coffee, juice, cereal, granola bars and waffles.

A nice and quiet place to stay. It is set up with minimalism in mind I’d say. The complaint about the bathroom barn doors in another review is fair but not that bad. Basically there is about an inch gap between the wall and the inside of the door so you can peek in at an angle if so inclined. Mattress are really soft. Probably too soft. Everything else was great

The property itself was great. We have trouble with stairs and our request for first floor and near rooms was not honored in spite of requesting three different ways, and early in the booking process. There is not elevator.

We cancelled our reservations when we arrived. On a Saturday evening, the parking lot was deserted. Went inside, the floors were dirty and needed vacuuming. The hotel is in an impoverished little town with zero dining options. The hotel had zero dining options! We left with no other hotel prospects. We’d rather have slept in the car!

The bed was super uncomfortable. As in we sank to the middle of it. The bathroom was kinda weird. It nothing that wasn’t doable. Small town so the good option for door dash was limited. Nice place, loved the lobby area. Only complaint is they needed a new bed in the room we stayed in

Overall a great stay!
Overall this was a great visit. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff were mostly friendly. The faculty member/manager working with the students wasn't very friendly. Would have liked a few more choices on the breakfast.

It was connected to a college. Not sure if this was good or bad. The students working the facility have not been trained. Very unprofessional, not sure motel 6 would hire these individuals. The front desk clerk at checkin appeared to have slept 🛌 n his clothes. When asking questions about facility he did not know anything. We found this true of all employees. If these individuals are being trained to operate a like facility, then the instructors failed. Other than a very strong odor inside the facility, it was clean. The outside was in need of maintenance. The patio area had several OSHA violations and just needed a good cleaning. The breakfast bar was very limited but what was there needed help. Two coffee pots did not indicated which was regular or decaf. When desk clerk was asked he did not know and made no effort to find out. The rooms at best should have one cabinet or vanity to store clothes. What was good about facility was the ladies who cleaned the 2nd floor on both days were very helpful and what they did not know they attempted to find out. I would move them to front desk. The location was great for us. To sum this up, the facility could be great with the right management team in charge.
