We were just passing through the Hocking Hills, but stopped and spent an enjoyable night at this inn. The room was clean and nicely appointed. We stayed in a lovely and spacious king suite. The inn is within walking distance of Ohio University campus and a paved hiking/biking trail along the banks of the Hocking River. They have a nice restaurant/bar that serves a full menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and an appetizer/pub menu in the bar. We would definitely stay here again.

How hard can it be to oil the hinges on the bathroom door? Thermostat set to heat but would only blow cold air, so we turn it of. No way to turn the fan off.
