The Inn at Ohio Northern University

Great hotel, classy, clean and the only option in Ada. The stay was great, the breakfast was better then expected and made to order at least when I last visited. I only had one major problem and that was the noise. My room was on the ground floor and this hotel isn’t very well insulated from noise. The showers were not installed correctly and the nose of any movement transfers right through the wood foot joist. This was not a pleasant sound to wake up to. As long as you stay here during peak times you should not have a problem. Still a great hotel, hopefully this issue was addressed in the new wing of the hotel.

Working in Kenton and there were NO options for hotels. The Inn is an easy 20 minute drive away and is very clean, great bathroom and helpful service. There’s a bar in the lobby and workout facility. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Ada or the surrounding cities!

This hotel is lovely! I have visited many hotels recently in Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois. This ranks with the best of them. Room rates are very reasonable, the room is lovely, and the shower is gorgeous. The only drawback here is no pool. However, I have some family in this area and would be more than happy to make a return visit.

When you have to stay in a place like Ada, OH, you’re grateful for a hotel this nice. It is a very clean, comfortable environment. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were amazing. There is a big rain shower head which was quite nice. I was very pleased overall.

The INN at ONU is the best place to stay in Ada, OH, well also the only place to stay in Ada, OH. The inn is nice and clean, but a little small. The resaurant inside the inn is just a few tables, but I guess that’s all it needs. Staff is pretty friendly and everything. During our one (of two) stays the fire alarm went off (burnt popcorn) and it took the fire department a while to show up, but as long as that does not happen to you the Inn is the place to stay for a couple reasons.

We stayed here while looking for a quick and quiet mid-​week spring getaway, and I’d give it 4.5 stars if that was an option.
We liked its location on a small college campus in northwestern Ohio. You could walk around the central campus, take a several-​mile walk on the trail paved trail that circles ONU, geocache (found one between the raindrops), or see a sporting event, play, or concert on campus.
Ada is a small town (nearest «big» city seems to be Lima), but it proved the perfect base of operations for our trip to explore part of the Lincoln Highway and take photos.
The inn itself is quite new. We had a queen-​bed room with an electric fireplace, and scored a great deal with the inn’s special March/​April pricing! The rooms were large, with a couple of comfortable chairs, a small work table and a nice work desk. WiFi was included and quite speedy (we listened to the stream of a radio broadcast of a hockey game via the connection without a problem). There were plenty of towels, toiletries, and a towel warmer rack (!) in the bathroom.
The staff (many who seemed to be ONU students) was very friendly and any problems were quickly addressed (our fireplace remote wasn’t working, and they came down to our room literally within a few minutes of our call and took care of the problem). Housekeeping offered «turn down» service with a chocolate, and they’d take that opportunity to ask if you needed more towels or anything else if you were in the room when they knocked for turn-​down.
Our room rate also included breakfast-​where you ordered off of the regular menu during the week or had a full breakfast buffet on the weekend. The dining room was rather small, so you may consider making a reservation if the inn is fairly full.
You can also catch a cocktail or eat in the small bar just off of the lobby. It does close by 9:30 p.m. during the week (and a little later on the weekends).
The inn has about 70 guest room and looks like a really nice facility for a small conference. There are at least 4 good-​sized meeting rooms that I saw, plenty of seating for small informal groups at several points along the room hallways and in the lobby. There were a couple of small conferences and what looked like a group of about a dozen ladies there for a «girlfriend getaway» while we were there.
There is a small workout room (and supposedly an outdoor pool-didn’t go looking for that as it was April when we were there).
If I were picking nits here, I’d say it would be nice if they had reading lamps by the comfy chairs (kind of difficult to enjoy reading my magazine by the fireplace in a dark corner).
Nice vibe, relaxing place to stay, good for small conferences. And while we got a great deal for off-​season, the regular prices seemed very reasonable for an inn of this quality (at, or even, below what you might expect to pay for a major chain for a much nicer room than you’d likely get at a chain).
