SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Friendly reception & a warm checkin experience.
The checkin wasn't fast & tap payment didn't work, but the hospitality was solid. Consistent customer service in person & over the phone.
Free early checkin & late checkout (1hr).
Uncovered parking available on site.
LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORS -- Visibly high cleaning standards & in great condition.
I enjoyed the lounge area a lot: well-lit, spacious, & lots of utility.
It's a great space for socializing around a huge flatscreen or enjoying a snack from their mini market.
ROOM (guest room) -- Aromatic & clean!
Your standard L-shape layout, with a swanky interior. The color palette was fun, vibrant, & easy to settle into.
It worked really well with the choice of flooring. Rounded out with abundant natural + fluorescent light.
Contemporary (magnetic) DnD signs are always preferred so I was glad to see they're following the trend.
Cons: Limited storage space & dimensions, especially for a double; workspace was also small.
BED -- Double Queen configuration.
Sleep was rough...
The support has all but disappeared from these mattresses, which becomes doubly uncomfortable when dealing with such thick toppers.
Overdue for a refresh.
BATH -- Small (not cramped) bath space featuring a large vanity & walk-in shower.
Ventilation & water pressure were sufficient.
The bath products (JR Watson) were surprisingly good! The texture reminded me of the Dove hospitality line.
Cons: Towels were tattered & thin; Cleaning standards inside the shower were lacking (pink mold).
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- Gigantic 55" Samsung UHD 4k TV.
Fixed wall mount kills the user experience but they offer a couple hundred premium channels, like HBO, etc.
Streaming & App Remote integrations are also built in.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- No complaints on reception (Verizon).
Complimentary WiFi, although unencrypted, was more than adequate for work.

FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly!
Status quo 6-9 breakfast offering & a mini market are available downstairs.
The selection is ok, but pales in comparison to the gas station & Tim Hortons across the street.
Small mini fridge provided but NO coffee bar in-room.
Water station accessible on bottom floor.
NOISE -- Quiet environment minus the pets.
Walls are thin so bring noise cancelling headphones just in case.
LOCATION -- Everything one needs within walking distance: fast food, gas, coffee, etc.
The location felt safe enough.
VERDICT
Sleep wasn't great & there was a lot of barking at times. It's still a nice property & the staff were awesome. For a pet-friendly hotel in this area of Ohio, it's quite competitive. If you can tolerate the mattress, it's a great stay.
4/5 ⭐️
