Why such a bad Buffett?
Breakfast Buffett is a sad sad joke. Everything else was great

Great place to stay
Really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge of Hocking College. Would prefer that queen bed to be a king. That would have made it a 5 star for us.

Great Budget Option
If your looking for a safe, clean affordable option in the area this is it. Just don't expect too much since students run the operation

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.

Nice place to stay
Courteous staff, very clean hotel. The bed was pretty comfortable, the pillows very lumpy. The A/C worked great, but the bathroom door a bit wanky. The location good, great value for the $. I would stay there again, and maybe bring my own pillows! An additional chair might be nice.
