Clean, friendly, good value.

I would say the theme of The Lodge is “minimalist rustic chic”. The the person who checked me in and checked me out at the front desk were extremely pleasant and helpful. There is not an elevator, so if you have mobility issues like me, make sure to request a first floor room. (My fault for not checking.)The room was neat and tidy. I did notice that the shelf in the shower that held the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash was not cleaned. There were obvious soap rings from previous bottles. This gave me some pause, but the rest of the shower and bathroom seemed spic and span so I just chalked it up to a housekeeping oversight. The bed was absolutely stunning, and from what I understand, handmade by students at the college. The mattress was a bit too soft my taste, but that is personal preference. The second floor hallway where my room was had a funny odor. It smelled like lingering curry cooking odor, which I found very odd. I thought maybe someone had heated some takeout in their microwave, but the smell was just as strong in the morning. I think the hallway carpets may need a good cleaning. The stairwell leading from the outside to the second floor was filthy. The steps and landing are carpeted and they haven’t seen a vacuum in quite some time. Three of the 5 brackets holding the handrail to the wall were pulled out of the wall, creating a safety hazard. Obviously, hotel staff had not visited that stairwell in a long time. Hence the 4 stars. Free Breakfast was lame as well

Location & price only positives

There was black mold on the walls and ceiling. The silly off the track, barn door for the bathroom offers little actual privacy and with no fan for the bathroom it was disappointing. On a personal note the bed was way too soft and squishy for my liking because it caused my husband and I to roll into each other all night, we struggled to get good sleep. The continental breakfast was laughable especially for someone who is lactose and gluten intolerant. We could not eat breakfast at the hotel either morning of our stay.

The 1st room we got we did a bed bug check and found shells and eggs under the bed. We went and told the people at the front desk and they were really quick to get us a new room and they let us show them where they were at. We got to the new room and checked it again and the new room was completely bed bug free. We ended up staying for the 3 nights we booked. They also gave us a huge discount for the inconvenience.

Property and room it's self was nice. Staff was kind, but easily flustered. Several hiccups and room mess ups with check in. The first room we were given has not been cleaned, we were booked for two nights, but on the second afternoon we came back to our room to find our key card didn't work. All was fixed promptly but should not have happened in the first place. Staff also not very knowledgeable of surrounding areas.

Room at Hocking college

Bed was comfortable but I felt like I rolled toward the center making it a bit difficult to get out of. The only chair in the room was uncomfortable. They need to put another chair or seating in the rooms. Bathroom was very clean and whole room was clean. Looked a little like it needed some repair to the walls and bsseboards. Internet access was okay. The continental breakfast could use a few more options like toast, bagels, fruit. The place was very quiet. I think they should tell people there is no elevator.

Give this place your business - Great Staff

We enjoyed our stay at The Lodge at Hocking College. The staff (students) were excellent. They were available, efficient, and treating everyone with respect and kindness. Breakfast was simple, but available and stocked. The lobby was a comfortable place to relax. Parking options were fantastic. We only stayed two nights so we did not need cleaning service but our requests for ice were quickly fulfilled and always with a smile. The beds are why we gave a 4. We prefer a firmer mattress and our mattress was very soft. Overall, this is a great option.
