Hampton Inn

We stayed one night at this Hampton. As usual the staff was pleasant. It was close to our destination. We like the convenience of the breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable.

Our son will be attending Ohio Wesleyan University in the fall (2014), which is only 8 miles/​13 minutes away from this lovely hotel, so we have already stayed here twice so far. It is very NEWLY DECORATED with a contemporary décor and the staff is very friendly and accomodating (early check-​in & late check-​out for our last visit).
During the first visit, we had a King room on the first floor and 2 queens on the 2^nd floor the second time around. The rooms were spotless, the wi-​fi was FREE and fast, and the bathroom was HUGE! They have an indoor pool with a hot tub next to their fitness center. Both were adequate and clean. Their breakfast was on par for a Hampton Inn, but since we do not eat pork, our kids REALLY APPRECIATED the turkey bacon and sausage that they served during both of our stays. (I don’t know if this is normal or if we just lucked out) And of course, the fresh baked cookies every night… so simple, but such a nice treat.
Regarding the location, it couldn’t be better! It’s directly off of I-​71 with a Starbucks, Subway & Cracker Barrel all within walking distance. There is shopping less than 5 minutes down the road (Kohl’s, Cato, GNC, grocery, etc) and there is a river nearby that has a park.
My only compliant is the beds. They’re new, but a bit on the firm side, and because I’m a bit curvier than the average gal, I toss and turn all night waking up with a back ache, but alas… we will return because everything else is so great and the price is just right (under $ 100, if you call directly to the hotel and ask for their best rate).

I recently stayed here for business. It’s convenient to I-​71, the staff were very friendly with me, but the hotel shows it’s age – even after the latest Hampton renovation.
Kinda shocked to see 2 – 3 star reviews on other sites, but find that this one lists it as a 5-​star hotel (even considering location and franchise brand).
The hotel staff were great about giving me an early check-​in, and a room request on par with what I normally like.
Sadly, the room was beat up. Scuffs on the wall, furniture that looks like it was used as a WWE prop, and bathroom grout that needs cleaned of mold.
Best part about my visit was the easy access to I-​71 to get out of there and get back home.

I’m giving it a 5 star based on what you get for your money. This isn’t a luxury hotel but they sure try hard to give you a great experience for the cost.
CCI attendees take note:
The room was clean, the complimentary breakfast had hot eggs, bacon or sausage, make your own waffles, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit etc… we stayed for 2 weeks and didn’t get tired of the variety.
3 minutes from Canine Companions training center and SUPER dog friendly with an area behind the hotel where there is plenty of room to take your pup. Pool was shallow and thus great for kids, bedding very nice.
