The Lodge at Hocking College

Breakfast Buffett is a sad sad joke. Everything else was great

Very impressive

Coziness of it, country setting, pet friendly. Pet fee

We had a nice time

Clean and tidy. Minutes from downtown Nelsonville, which has small hometown charm. Nice cocktail bar. Great sunset views. 15 minutes from downtown athens by car. Will be back

The staff was super friendly and the room was cozy and clean

It was really nice and peaceful. It’s gorgeous and everyone was friendly!

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

Amenities are nice rooms nice very minimalistic. Hallways definitely need a good vacuum.

Met all of my needs
