"As a custom home builder I craft intentional spaces for a living. In my humble opinion this home absolutely hit the mark. The home was well thought out and SO peaceful. I was there to see family, but may go back just to read a book on the day bed in the sunroom. It was surrounded by sliding doors nestled in a canopy of tree tops. Felt like heaven. I don’t remember sleeping that well. Joe and Craig were consummate hosts. We had everything we needed and they were very communicative. 10/10, would...

Cherry Valley Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff was friendly."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Columbus New Albany by IHG

8/10 Good

"Facility is very clean and looks great but my room when I entered had no wash cloths, I was given several when I went to the front desk and asked about them. When I went to take a shower the body wash dispenser was empty. I went to the front desk to let them know afterwards and she said that yes they knew but there should be bath bars in the room. The only thing that was there was two packs of nail polish remover pads. The breakfast when I went down was completely out of the scrambled eggs and they had removed the pans to refill. I came back 15 minutes later and still no pans and a gentleman waiting since my first time being there said they told him it would be another 10-15 minutes. At that point I just left. There are no restaurants within several miles just to make other travelers aware. A McDonalds is in the same parking lot but that is the only thing close. Very loud at night as it seemed like cars liked to race up and down the street in front and slammed through their gears roaring from about midnight until 2 am."

Holiday Inn Express Mt Vernon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Solid hotel for the price and class. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is surprisingly good. Room cleaning is apparently by request only, which we weren't aware of (they could add signage on that!), but the staff's helpfulness more than made up for it."

Comfort Inn & Suites Heath - Newark South

8/10 Good

"We arrived late to find a full parking lot. The staff were nice and helped us find parking on the premises that aren't the usual parking for customers. We got to the room and the shower had hair inside it which was a bit gross and the shower plug didn't work. We never mentioned any of this to staff but Im sure they'd have been accommodating if we had said something. Our final day I went to their breakfast. The coffee was a bit cold and their food options were limited. For it being a free breakfast it was good. All in all I would absolutely recommend someone utilize this hotel. The bed was firm and comfy and the overall environment was enjoyable. A warning to other travelers to help set expectations is that the pool and ice machine on our floor were both out of service during our stay as of October 2026. This may not be the case but I highly recommend calling ahead if that is a main feature or attraction."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Ohio

8/10 Good

"We never write a bad review but the price of our stay very much exceeded our experience. The bed was comfortable but the pillows flatten to nothing. Bathroom had one bar of soap to use between the sink & shower. There was hair on the floor in the bathroom & the carpet was obviously not swept. The walls are paper thin. Woke up to someone vomiting in the room next door. Sounded like it was happening in our room."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Heath - Newark by IHG

8/10 Good

"Bed and pullout were comfortable and overall good; however, the bathroom had mold, shower doors were off track and wouldn’t close all the way. There were loose tiles on the bathroom floor and the toilet paper holder needed to be fixed. For $250 a night it should have been better maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room itself was clean, excluding the shower mold in the bathroom."
